Danfoss vlt aqua Design Guide

The Remote Reference is comprised of:
• Preset references.
• External references (analog inputs, pulse frequency inputs, digital potentiometer inputs and serial communication bus references).
• The preset relative reference.
• Feedback controlled setpoint.
Up to 8 preset references can be programmed in the drive. The active preset reference can be selected using digital inputs or the serial communications
bus. The reference can also be supplied externally, most commonly from an analog input. This external source is selected by one of the 3 Reference
Source parameters (par. 3-15
Reference 1 Source , par. 3-16 Reference 2 Source and par. 3-17 Reference 3 Source ). Digipot is a digital potentiometer.
This is also commonly called a speed up/speed down control, or a floating point control. To set it up, one digital input is programmed to increase the
reference while another digital input is programmed to decrease the reference. A third digital input can be used to reset the digipot reference. All reference
resources and the bus reference are added to produce the total external reference. The external reference, the preset reference or the sum of the two
can be selected to be the active reference. Finally, this reference can by be scaled using par. 3-14
Preset Relative Reference .
The scaled reference is calculated as follows:
Reference = X + X ×
(
Y
100
)
Where X is the external reference, the preset reference or the sum of these and Y is par. 3-14 Preset Relative Reference in [%].
NOTE!
If Y, par. 3-14
Preset Relative Reference is set to 0%, the reference will not be affected by the scaling
2.8.8 Example of Closed-loop PID Control
The following is an example of a closed-loop control for a booster pump application:
In a water distribution system, the pressure is to be maintained at a constant value. The desired pressure (setpoint) is set between 0 and 10 Bar using
a 0–10 volt potentiometer or can be set by a parameter. The pressure sensor has a range of 0–10 Bar and uses a two-wire transmitter to provide a 4–
20 mA signal. The output frequency range of the drive is 10 to 50 Hz.
