In this example, the Analog Input will have a positive offset while still using the full scale of the
potentiometer or other analog signal device. When the analog signal is at its lowest value (-10V,
0V, 0mA, or 4mA), the set-point frequency will be at 10Hz. When analog signal is at its maximum
value (10V or 20mA), the set-point frequency will be 60Hz.

Minimum Frequency Reference = 10Hz
•
Maximum Frequency Reference = 60Hz
For AI1, AI2, and AI3: P4.24 (AI V/Hz Calculated Selection) MUST BE SET TO ZERO (All Inputs
Use Bias and Gain) TO ENABLE BIAS AND GAIN CALCULATIONS.
Calculations (see page 4–112 for formulas)
A) Drive Maximum Output Frequency = P0.04 = (1750 rpm / 1750 rpm) x 60Hz = 60Hz
B) Analog Offset % = ( 10Hz / 60Hz ) x 100 = 16.7%

Examples
•
Output Freq = [ (Analog_In%) x (Gain%) + (Bias%) ] x Max_Out (Hz)
•
For AI1 set to 0~10V, and an analog input of 1 Volt:
Output Freq = [ (1/10) x (0�833) + (0�167) ] x 60Hz = 15Hz
•
For analog input of 7 Volts:
Output Freq = [ (7/10) x (0�833) + (0�167) ] x 60Hz = 45Hz
