Soft Start Parameters
The ASTAT-BP incorporates five starting curves to enable you to select a suitable torque curve.
Soft Start Curve 0 – Standard curve (Default). This curve is the most suitable curve
for preventing prolonged starting and motor overheating.
Note:
When ASTAT-BP is connected in
DELTA Conf., the ASTAT-BP will always use Curve 0
regardless of the curve defined.
