9.8 Driving by PID Process Control
9.8.1 Using PID Control
 How to perform process control for the flow rate, air volume, pressure, and other
measurements?
 How to switch between PID control and normal control?
 How to soft start the pump to avoid the water hammer phenomenon?
 How to stop the motor to save energy when the flow rate, air volume, pressure, and other
measurements exceed a certain output?
 Use this function to perform process control for the flow rate, air volume, pressure, and other
measurements. To use this function, set "PID enable [A071]" to "Enable (01)" or "Enable (with
inverted output) (02)".
 When the input terminal function "Disable PID [PID] (23)" is on, the PID function is disabled and
the inverter operates according to the frequency command selected for the target value.
 PID output can be limited based on the PID target value using "PID output range [A078]".
 PID control allows the use of feed-forward input that attempts to pre-stabilize any external
disturbances.
 A sleep mode is available when operation is stopped to reduce downtime and improve energy
efficiency.
 If the acceleration/deceleration time setting is longer than the PID operation, following the
output frequency may delay and PID control may not be successful. In this case, reduce the
acceleration/deceleration time.
 The frequency upper and lower limit function ([A061]/[A261]/[A062]/[A262]) apply to
frequency command by the PID output. They do not apply to PID target value.
 When using an analog input for the PID target value/feedback value, do not set the "Analog
input filter time constant [A016]" to "31 (500 ms filter ±0.1 Hz with hysteresis)". This may cause
operations to become unstable.
