CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW OF FUNCTIONS
1.3 V/f Control
To adjust the torque of the motor, V/f control is used to adjust the voltage (V) in line with the output frequency (f).
Figure 1-4 shows how the characteristic modulation ratio of the sample program varies with the output frequency.
The modulation ratio (sine wave amplitude)/(sawtooth wave amplitude) is such that, when equal to 1, the sawtooth
wave amplitude is equal to that of the sine wave.

After V/f modulation, if the sawtooth and sine waves do not intersect, as shown in Figure 1-5, switching is not
performed.

Remark The U–, V–, and W– phases are obtained by inverting high- and low-level waveforms of the U+, V+, and
W+ phases.
