Define Motor Parameters
Step 1
Click Define Motor Parameters to obtain an estimate of the motor circuit parameters using the name-plate values and the speed-torque curve of the motor. Notes provided in the upper left corner of this window are instructions on how to use this tool to derive the motor parameters.

Gravity Points |
The gravity points are movable points used to optimize the derived torque speed curve to the actual torque speed curve. |
Flip speed axis |
Curve axis can be flipped to match manufacturer. |
Minimize |
The Minimize button attempts to reduce the error. |
