Operating Instructions ACU
15.10 Motor potentiometer
Via the motor potentiometer function, the motor speed is controlled via
ï€ digital control signals (function Motorpoti MP) or via
ï€ the keys of the control unit KP°500 (Function Motorpoti KP).
The control up/down commands are assigned the following functions:
Output signal does not change
Output value rises at set ramp
Output value drops at set ramp
Output value is reset to initial value
0 = Contact open 1 = Contact closed
â–² â–¼ = Arrow keys on control unit KP 500
The motor potentiometer function and its link to other reference value sources can be selected in
the corresponding reference value channels with parameters Reference Frequency Source 475 or
Reference Percentage Source 476.
For a description of the possible links of the reference value sources, refer to chapters "Reference
Values", "Reference Values" and "Reference Values".
Availability of functions "Motorpoti (MP)" and "Motorpoti (KP)" differs in the individual reference
value channels:
Reference Frequency
Source 475
Reference
Percentage Source
476
X = Function available 0 = Function not available
Depending on the active reference value channel, the function is assigned to a digital signal via
parameters Frequency Motorpoti Up 62, Frequency Motorpot. Down 63 or Percent Motorpoti Up
72, Percent Motorpoti Down 73.
For a summary of available digital signals, refer to chapter "Digital Inputs".
The Operation Mode 474 of the motor potentiometer function defines the behavior of the function
at various operating points of the frequency inverter.
In the operation mode motor potentiometer Not Latching, the drive
goes to the set minimum reference value at each start.
In the operation mode Latching the motor goes to the reference value
selected before the switch-off at the start. The reference value is also
stored when the device is switched off.
The operation mode Motorpoti Taking Over is to be used for the data
set change-over of the reference value channel. The current reference
value is used when the motorpoti function is activated.
This operation mode combines the behavior in operation mode 1 and 2.
