Re: [Emc-users] Why don't VFDs have a "STOP AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE" mode

I think it really depends on the VFD. Some Siemens VFDs can have multiple stop inputs so you can setup a normal stop and then a emergency stop and more. Dave On 12/7/2010 2:15 PM, robert wrote: > >> Why don't they have VFDs with adaptive stopping cycle, so that they >> reduce the frequency

I have used many VFDs, but in all of them the stopping time is programmed in terms of seconds. This does not translate well into operating machine tools with multiple speeds. On such tools, slowly rotating spindle can be stopped quickly and more time is needed to stop a fast rotating spindle. If f
