AI-V3/J Potentiometer for J1000 series

Why Choose the Yaskawa AI-V3/J Potentiometer Option?

The Yaskawa AI-V3/J is a dedicated front-mounted potentiometer option designed for use with Yaskawa J1000 series variable frequency drives. This compact accessory enables simple manual adjustment of the inverter frequency reference, allowing operators to control motor speed directly using a rotary dial on the front of the drive.

By installing the AI-V3/J module, users can easily adjust motor speed without external control wiring or complex programming. The potentiometer provides a convenient interface for applications where manual speed control is preferred, such as commissioning, maintenance or simple machine operation.

Designed specifically for the Yaskawa J1000 inverter platform, the option module connects directly to the drive’s internal option port and becomes the frequency reference source. Rotating the potentiometer dial adjusts the inverter output frequency, allowing quick and intuitive control of connected motors.

Manual Speed Control for Inverter Drives

In many automation systems, operators require the ability to manually adjust motor speed without relying on external control signals or PLC systems. Potentiometer option modules such as the Yaskawa AI-V3/J provide a convenient solution by allowing direct adjustment of the inverter’s frequency reference using a simple rotary dial.

When installed, the potentiometer becomes the active frequency reference source in the drive parameters. Turning the dial adjusts the output frequency of the inverter, allowing precise manual control of motor speed for testing, setup and simple process control applications.

Typical Applications

• Manual motor speed control for inverter drives.
• Machine commissioning and maintenance.
• Simple automation systems without PLC control.
• Workshop machinery and small production equipment.
• Testing and adjustment of variable speed drives.
