VS-616G5 Installation & Quick-Start Manual 7
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The VS-616G5, a series of high quality, general-purpose inverters with flux vector control, directly
controls the current (or torque) in an AC induction motor. With an initial power range of 0.5 to 500 HP,
it is suited for any application, and provides smooth start-up at low speeds, and extremely precise oper-
ation. It’s proprietary auto-tuning function enables high-performance tuning of motors manufactured
worldwide.
The VS-616G5 combines four control methods into one compact drive, including flux vector and con-
ventional V/f control. From precision machinery to multiple motor drives, the VS-616G5 proves to be
the Ultimate drive for any application. This functionality includes Yaskawa proprietary features like
Adaptive Vector Control (AVC™), full-range automatic torque boost, auto-tuning, UL-recognized
electronic thermal motor overload, energy savings operation, PID control, low-noise operation and
various other features. It also features a 2-line × 16-character, alphanumeric digital operator for simple
programming in seven different languages. Utilizing the latest microprocessor technology, members of
Yaskawa’s design team have collaborated to make the VS-616G5 the Ultimate drive for any applica-
tion.
This manual details installation, quick-start and diagnostic procedures for the VS-616G5 series adjust-
able frequency drive controller. For more detailed descriptions of programming procedures, contact
