analog inPut ParaMeter exaMPle 6: reduced analog gain
This example shows how to limit the Maximum Frequency Reference by reducing the Analog Input
Gain. When the Analog Input is at its maximum value (10V or 20mA), the set-point frequency will
be 50Hz. However, this reduced maximum frequency applies only to an Analog Input Source of
Frequncy Command. The Maximum Output Frequency can still can still go to 60Hz if controlled
from the Keypad, RS-485 interface, Jog Command, or Multi-Speed settings.
•
Minimum Frequency Reference = 0Hz
•
Maximum Frequency Reference = 50Hz
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 % = [ (0Hz) / (60Hz)] x 100 = 0%

Examples
•
Output Freq = [ (Analog_In%) x (Gain%) + (Bias%) ] x Max_Out (Hz)
•
For AI1 set to 0~10V, and an analog input of 5 Volts:
Output Freq = [ (5/10) x (0�833) + (0) ] x 60Hz = 25Hz
•
For analog input of 10 Volts:
Output Freq = [ (10/10) x (0�833) + (0) ] x 60Hz = 50Hz
