Figure 216 - Effects of Current Limiting on an Impact Load
Current limiting for frequency control is not enabled by default. You can
enable via messaging by using the following device-specific attributes.

Description
3022 SINT
Current Limiting
Enable
Frequency Control
Induction Motor only
When enabled, limits the rate of change to the velocity reference during high-current situations for
improved current limiting. This feature is only active when executing an MDS command and when
configured for Frequency Control.
0 = Current Limiting is disabled
1 = Current Limiting is enabled
3023 REAL Current Limiting Kd
Derivative gain for the current limiting function. Only functional when configured for Frequency
Control and when executing an MDS command. Units of seconds.
3024 REAL Current Limiting Ki
Integral gain for the current limiting function. Only functional when configured for Frequency Control
and when executing an MDS command. Units of feedback counts / (Amp, inst* Seconds).
3025 REAL Current Limiting Kp
Proportional gain for the current limiting function. Only functional when configured for Frequency
Control and when executing an MDS command. Units of feedback counts / Amp, inst.
IMPORTANT For induction motors greater than 5 Hp, it is recommended that the Stability
Control feature also be enabled when Current Limiting is enabled.
