Good afternoon Tell me, I have an Acopos 1045 servo(8v1045.00-2 Rev Q0), is it possible to connect and program the induction motor. I understand that this is a servo, but knowing the experience of Siemens, where it is possible to connect induction to a servo, the question arises, is there such a thing here?

There is also a question, is it possible to configure the motor connection without an encoder?

Hello,

yes you can configure an Induction Motor while using an ACOPOSservo drive.

For ACOPOS P3 i know encoderless Operation was introduced, but i am not sure if this Software is compatible to an 8V1045 because this hardware was already discontinued back in the days.

There is a basic UF-Mode available but i am not sure if the ACOPOS will need an encoder for this. I never used it, please have a look in the manual.

Greetings  
Michael

Hello,

you can either use the induction motor with an encoder the same way as you would use a synchronous motor.

But you’ve to insert the motor parameters

[ACOPOS : induction motor](https://help.br-automation.com/#/en/4/ncsoftware/acp10_drivefunctions/motor/asynchronmotor/asynchronmotor_.html)

Without any encoder you can still use your induction motor but there is only the very

basic U/f control available, so no vector control:
