For applications where a reverse spin is not acceptable, the Initial Position Detection algorithm (IPD) function is an alternative way to start up the motor. With the proper IPD setting, the motor startup can be faster than using align. While this function is suitable for motors with high inertia, such as heavy blades (for example: a ceiling or appliance fan), it is not suitable for motors with low inertia, such as small blades (for example: a computer fan), because the current injection can cause the motor to shake, resulting in the IPD not being accurate.
In applications where the acoustic noise ("chirp") generated by IPD is not acceptable during startup, select "Slow first cycle" as the startup method.
