There are basically 3 types of VFD, V/F (variable frequency), Sensorless Vector and Sensor feed back.
The V/F will output a variable frequency with virtually no type of feedback as the the position of the motor rotor, this is fine for some low demand applications, fans etc.
With the sensorless vector, the control processor attempts to determine the optimum position of the motor rotor (90deg vector angle) for maximum torque control where no other feedback is present.
With the optimum sensored feedback via a encoder etc, the VFD knows the position of the motor rotor precisely, and can control RPM etc, and position if needed for applications such as Tool changers where the spindle has to orient to an exact position.
