Figure 5.26 shows the block diagram for the dual current mode of the 
Ultra1500: 
Figure 5.26
Dual Current Mode Block Diagram 
In this operating mode, an external controller performs all commutation 
functions, and the Ultra1500 drive functions as a simple three-phase current 
regulator.
• If the command polarity is set to Normal, the U phase current command 
comes from the analog velocity input and the W phase current command 
comes from the analog current input. 
• If the command polarity is set to Inverted, the U phase current command 
comes from the analog current input and the W phase current command 
comes from the analog velocity input. 
The current command limit is set to the minimum of the following: 
• Positive / Negative Internal Current Limit, 
• Positive / Negative External Current Limit, 
• Stopping Current (if active), and 
• Drive Peak / Motor Peak Current Rating. 
Block/Switch definitions shown in Figure 5.26 refer to the Ultraware parameter names where applicable.
