4.8.4 AI as the Frequency Source
The AI terminal can be used as the frequency source. The MD380 provides two AI terminals
(AI1 and AI2) on the control board, and the optional I/O extension card provides another AI
terminal (AI3).
The following gures show how to use the AI as the frequency source.

1. MD380 provides two AI terminals (AI1 and AI2) on the control board, and the optional I/O
extension card provides another AI terminal (AI3).
2. AI1 provides 0–10 V voltage input. AI2 provides 0–10 V voltage input or 4–20 mA current input,
determined by jumper J8 on the control board. AI3 provides -10 V to +10 V bipolar voltage input.
3. When AI is used as the frequency source, 100% of the voltage or current input corresponding
setting corresponds to the maximum frequency in F0-10.
4. When the temperature transmitter is used for analog setting, it must be connected to AI3 on the
I/O extension card.
5. MD380 provides ve corresponding relationship curves, which can be selected in F4-33. The
input values and corresponding settings of each curve are set in F4-13 to F4-27 and group A6.
