PID Controller (P9)
The M-Max series frequency inverters are provided with a
PID controller that you activate with P9.1 = 1. The controller
can be deactivated via a digital input (P3.12).
PID control is superimposed on the frequency inverter
function. You should therefore set all of the frequency
inverter’s drive-related parameters, such as maximum output
frequency (motor speed), acceleration and deceleration
ramps (mechanical load, belts). Frequency inverter and motor
are process-integrated actuators. The output frequency to
the motor (which determines the speed) is specified as
manipulated variable from the PID controller.
When the PID controller is activated, the setpoints and actual
values become process variables and are normalized
automatically into percentages (%). For example, the
specified setpoint (0–100%) here is the same as a volume
flow (0–50 m
3
/h). The actual value here is the volume flow
(m
3
/h) from a suitable sensor, which is evaluated again as a
percentage (0–100%).
If this process data is to be displayed in the physical variable
(m
3
/h), you can set the conversion with parameter P9.19
(see “Display factor (P9.19)”).
