3. Advantages and Features

• Precision Control: Sensorless vector control for high torque at low speeds (150% torque at 0.5 Hz).
• Energy Efficiency: Auto-tuning and energy optimization modes reduce power consumption by up to 30%.
• Reliability: Heavy-duty design with IP20/IP54 enclosures (optional) for harsh environments.
• Flexible I/O: Multiple digital/analog inputs/outputs (4–20 mA, 0–10V) for integration with PLCs and sensors.
• Safety Compliance: STO (EN 61800-5-2) and CE/UL/cUL certifications.
• User Interface: Backlit LCD display with parameter copy function (via USB or keypad cloning).

4. Application Areas and Use Cases

• Industries: HVAC (fans/pumps), conveyor systems, compressors, machine tools, food processing.
• 典型应用场景:
  • HVAC: Optimizing fan speed in smart buildings to reduce energy costs.
  • Manufacturing: Controlling conveyor belts with precise torque for material handling.
  • Water Treatment: Adjusting pump speed based on water demand (variable pressure control).

5. Competitor Comparison

Feature	YOKOGAWA VF701	Competitor (e.g., ABB ACS580/Siemens G120)
Vector Control	Sensorless (standard)	Sensorless (optional in some models)
Energy Saving	Built-in auto-tuning + Eco mode	Similar features but higher cost
Modular Design	Easy-to-replace parts (e.g., cooling fans)	Less modular; requires full unit replacement
Communication	Built-in Modbus RTU (optional Ethernet)	Similar but higher configuration complexity
Cost	Competitive pricing (10–15% lower than peers)	Premium pricing for equivalent specs

6. Selection Recommendations

• Power Requirements: Match the VFD power (kW) to the motor rating (e.g., 7.5 kW for a 10 HP motor).
• Voltage Type: Choose single-phase (200–240V) for small motors (≤2.2 kW) or three-phase for larger systems.
• Environment: Select IP54 enclosure for dusty/wet environments (e.g., water treatment plants).
• Communication: Add optional Ethernet/Fieldbus modules for integration with Yokogawa’s DCS (e.g., Centum VP).

7. Precautions

• Installation:
  • Ensure proper ventilation (vertical mounting recommended).
  • Use shielded cables for motor wiring (≤50 m for 400 V class).
• Motor Matching: Perform auto-tuning (motor parameter setup) before operation.
• Safety:
  • Disable power for 5 minutes before servicing (capacitor discharge).
  • Ground the VFD and motor per local codes (safety earth: ≥4 mm²).
• Software: Update firmware regularly via Yokogawa’s V-SFT software (free download).

8. Related Models & Accessories
