Frequency input and output
The frequency input is used as a speed reference. In some applications, a frequency input from a controller is used in preference to a 0 to +10V or 4
to 20mA signal.
This frequency input is converted into a frequency reference percentage (Pr 3.45) and this percentage value is used to provide the speed reference
(as Pr 7.01 and Pr 7.02 in Menu 7).
This frequency input cannot be used for frequency slaving.
The frequency input and output are not 'locked' together or synchronised within the drive. The frequency input is used as a speed reference and from
this input, the software calculates the correct frequency to put on to the output. The threshold is 10V for a frequency input.
If the post ramp reference (Pr 2.01) is at or below the level defined by this parameter in either direction the Zero speed flag (Pr 10.03) is On(1),
otherwise the flag is OFF(0).
This parameter defines the 'At speed' window which is the boundary around the set speed point in which an 'At speed' indication is given (Pr 10.06 =
On(1). The 'At speed' window is thus defined as Set speed ±(Pr 3.06 / 2).
The speed detector system also includes an overspeed trip. The level cannot be set by the user, but the drive produces an overspeed trip if the output
frequency (Pr 5.01) exceeds 1.2 x Maximum frequency and regenerating and in current limit.
Scale factor applied to the frequency or PWM output.
Defines the maximum frequency required at the frequency/PWM output. The choice of maximum output frequency depends on the requirement of the
output. Due to limitations in the hardware, higher output frequencies do not offer the best resolution at the top end of the frequency range.
