Appendix 8 PID Function
1. Function
The PID (Proportional, Integral, Differential) control functions can apply to controlling of the
air (water) amount of a fan pump, etc., as well as controlling of pressure within a fixed value.
Set the reference signal according to the frequency setting method or the internal level.
Set the feed-back signal according to the analog voltage input (0 to 5V or 0 to 10V) or analog
current input (4 to 20 mA).

2. PID Gain
If the response is not stabilized in a PID control operation, adjust the gains as follows according
to the symptom of the inverter.
• The change of controlled variable is slow even when the target value is changed.
— Increase the P gain.
• The change of controlled variable is fast, but not stable.
— Decrease the P gain.
• It is difficult to make the target value match with the controlled variable.
— Decrease the I gain.
• Both the target value an the controlled variable are not stable. They match after oscillation.
— Increase the I gain.
• The response is slow even when the P gain is increased.
— Increase the D gain.
• The response is not stabilized due to oscillation even when the P gain is increased.
— Decrease the D gain.
