Control Signal Terminals (Digital and 
Analog Inputs/Outputs)
The M-Max frequency inverter has two analog inputs for 
specifying the frequency setpoint value and the actual value 
return to the PI controller:
●
Control signal terminal 2 (AI1), voltage signal 0 (2)–10V, 
input resistance 200k ohms
●
Control signal terminal 4 (AI2), current signal 0 (4)–20 mA, 
Load resistance 200 ohms
Adjusting and the parameter definition of analog inputs are 
described in “Analog Input (P2)” on Page 68.
The AI1 analog input (control signal terminal 2) is factory set 
for the frequency setpoint (P6.2). The setpoint can be input 
via an external potentiometer (recommended fixed 
resistance: 1–10k ohms). The fixed resistance of the setpoint 
potentiometer is fed from the frequency inverter via control 
signal terminal 1 with +10V (maximum load rating: 10 mA). 
Control signal terminals 3 and 5 are reference points (GND) 
for the analog setpoint signals.
