9.1 Basic process controller sengs
By means of the process con
troller, a process variable can be regulated, for instance the pres-
sure of a pump. The process controller is also referred to as "PID controller" (PID controller =
proporonal, integral and dierenal controller).
Details
The process controller is part of a closed control loop. The variable to be inuenced (control-
led variable) is measured connuously by means of a sensor and supplied to the inverter as an
analog signal (actual value) which, in the inverter, is then compared to the reference value
(setpoint). The system deviaon resulng therefrom is supplied to the process controller
which, on this basis, decelerates or accelerates the motor speed according to the desired
dynamic performance of the control loop, so that, for instance, a pump always generates the
desired pressure.
The basic seng of the process controller is carried out via the following parameters.
Parameter Name / value range / [default seng] Info
0x4020:001
(PAR 600/001)
Process contr
oller: Operang mode
(Process controller: Operang mode)
Selecon of the process controller operang mode.
0 Inhibited Process controller deacvated.
1 Normal operaon If the controlled variable (actual value) fed back is reduced, the motor
speed is increased.
Example: pressure-controlled booster pumps (increase in the motor
speed produces an increase in pressure.)
2 Reversing duty If the controlled variable (actual value) fed back is reduced, the motor
speed is also reduced.
Example: temperature-controlled cooling water pump (increase in motor
speed produces decrease in temperature.)
3 Normal operaon in both rotang direcons As selecon 1, but also inverted rotang direcon possible if both rotat-
ing direcons are enabled with the seng 0x283A (PAR 304) = 1.
4 Reversing duty in both rotang direcons As selecon 2, but also inverted rotang direcon possible if both rotat-
ing direcons are enabled with the seng 0x283A (PAR 304) = 1.
0x4020:002
(PAR 600/002)
Process controller: Feedback source
(Process controller: PID feedback)
Selecon of the source via which the feedback of the controlled variable
(actual value) for the process controller is eected.
1 Analog input 1
2 Analog input 2
0x4020:003
(PAR 600/003)
Process controller: Closed-loop controlled speed
range
(Process controller: PID speed range)
0 ... [100] ... 100 %
Seng of the maximum output frequency up to which the process con-
troller carries out regulaon.
•
100 % ≡ upper frequency limit value 0x2916 (PAR 211)
.
0x4020:004
(PAR 600/004)
Process contr
oller: Speed feedforward control source
(Process controller: PID line speed)
Oponal selecon of a speed feedforward control source for the process
controller.
•
Is advisable, for instance, for dancer posion controls if the motor
speed must not fall below line speed (process controller output value
= line speed + controlled motor speed).
•
Standard applicaons usually do not require a speed feedforward
control; therefore it is deacvated in the default seng.
0 Without speed feedforward control
1 Keypad frequency setpoint
2 Analog input 1
3 Analog input 2
4 Preset frequency setpoint 1
5 Preset frequency setpoint 2
6 Preset frequency setpoint 3
7 Preset frequency setpoint 4
8 Network
0x4021:001
(PAR 606/001)
Process contr
oller speed operaon: Acceleraon me
(PID acc./dec.: PID acceleraon me)
0.0 ... [1.0] ... 3600.0 s
Acceleraon me for (temporary) speed-controlled drive control in proc-
ess controller mode.
•
This acceleraon me is eecve if process controller mode is acve
and a change-over to speed-controlled operaon has been eected
by the trigger set in 0x2631:045 (PAR 400/045).
•
The acceleraon me takes eect at the output of the process con-
troller.
