analog inPut ParaMeter exaMPle 7: Positive oFFset with reduced analog gain
This example illustrates how to provide a positive offset of the Analog Input, while using the full
scale of the potentiometer or other analog device. At the same time, the Maximum Frequency
Reference is limited by reducing the Analog Input Gain.
When the analog signal is at its lowest value, the set-point frequency will be at 11.5Hz. When the
analog signal is at its maximum value, the set-point frequency will be 39.6Hz.
•
Minimum Frequency Reference = 11�5Hz
•
Maximum Frequency Reference = 39�6Hz
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 % = (11.5Hz / 60Hz) x 100 = 19.2%

•
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�468) + (0�192) ] x 60Hz =
25�6Hz
•
For analog input of 10 Volts:
Output Freq = [ (10/10) x (0�468) + (0�192) ] x 60Hz
= 39�6Hz
