analog inPut ParaMeter exaMPle 5: Forward run/reverse Jog
This example shows an application in which the drive runs full-speed forward and jogs in reverse.
The full scale of the potentiometer (or other analog signal device) will be used.
When calculating the values for the Analog Input using reverse motion, the reverse frequency
reference should be shown using a negative (-) number. Pay special attention to signs (+/-) for
values representing reverse motion.
•
Minimum Frequency Reference = -15Hz (reverse)
•
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 % = [ (-15Hz) / (60Hz) ] x 100 = -25%
Analog Input (AIx) AI1 AI2 AI3
AIx Bias Parameter
P4�10 P4�15 P4�19
The negative (-) value for the Analog Offset % shows that a negative offset is needed for P4.11,
P4.16, or P4.20, or a negative value in P4.10, P4.15, or P4.19. Do not use negatives in both
parameters.
C) Analog Gain % = [(60Hz – (-15Hz)) / 60Hz] x 100 = 125% = AIx Input Gain

* This example uses Bias = -20% and Polarity = 1: Positive Offset.
The example will work exactly the same with Bias = +20% and Polarity = 2: Negative Offset.

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 (1�25) + (-0�25) ] x 60Hz = -7�5Hz
•
For analog input of 7 Volts:
Output Freq = [ (7/10) x (1�25) + (-0�25) ] x 60Hz = 37�5Hz
