Operation of synchronous motors without encoder feedback The optimization of effi ciency, available space and increasing dynamic forces the use of synchronous motors, which can be operated by F5-E (SCL) and F5-P (safety version) now without rotor position feedback in all applications without positioning tasks. The calculated control method of the software has no e ect through external disturbances and leads to high smoothness. Mechanically stressed motors, high frequency special machines or high-volume torque motors are operated more functional and safe with elimination of the encoder system.
