FC 300 Design Guide
Introduction to FC 300
The remote reference is calculated once every scan interval and initially consists of two parts:
1. X (the external reference) : A sum (see par. 3-04) of up t o four externally selected references, comprising
any combination (determined by the setting of par. 3-15, 3-16 and 3-17) of a fixed preset reference (par.
3-10), variable analog re ferences, variable digital pulse references, and various serial bus refe rence s
in whatever unit adjustable frequency drives are controlled ([Hz], [RPM], [Nm] etc.).
2. Y- (the relative reference): A sum of one fixed preset reference (par. 3-14) and
one variable analog referenc e (par. 3-18) in [%].
The two parts are combined in the following calculation: Remote reference = X + X * Y / 100%.
The catch-up / slow-down function and the freeze reference function can both be activated by digital
inputs on the adjustable frequen cy drive. They are describe d in par. group 5-1*.
The scaling of analog references is described in par. groups 6-1* and 6-2*, and the scaling
of digital pulse re ferences is describ ed in par. group 5-5*.
Reference lim it s and ranges are set in par. group 3-0*.
References and fe edb ack can be scaled in physical units (i.e. RPM, Hz, °C) or simply in % rela tin
g
to the values of par. 3-02 Minimum Refere n ce and par. 3-03 Maximum Referen ce.
In this case, all analog and pulse inputs are scaled according to the follo wing rules:
• When p a r. 3-00 Reference Range is [0] M in - Max, 0% reference equals 0 [unit], where unit
can be any unit e.g. rpm, m/s, bar etc., 100% reference equals the Max (abs (par. 3-03
Maximum Reference), abs (par. 3-02 Minimum Reference)).
• When par. 3-00 Reference Range: [1] -Max - +Max, 0% reference equals 0 [unit], -100%
reference e quals -Max Reference, 100% reference equals Max Reference.
Bus references are sc aled according to the foll owing rules:
• When par. 3-00 Reference Range is [0] Min - M ax. To obtain max resol
ution on the bus reference, the
scaling on the bus is: 0% reference equals Min Reference and 100% reference equals Max reference.
• When par. 3-00 Reference Range: [1] -Max - +Max, -100% reference equals -Max
Reference, 100% reference equals Max Reference.
Par. 3-00 Reference Range,3-02Minimum Reference and 3-03 Maximum Reference tog ethe r define the
allowed range of the sum of all r efere nc es. The sum of all references is clamped when necessary. The relation
between the resulting reference (after clampin
g) and the sum of all references is shown below.
