5.8.2 Soft Fill Operation
A soft fill operation is used to prevent excessive pressure from building in the pipe system at
the initial stage of a pump operation. When the operation command is given, a general
acceleration (without PID control) begins and continues until the output reaches the
frequency set at AP1-21, for the time set at AP1-22. Then, the soft fill PID operation is
performed unless the feedback value has reached the value set at AP1-23 (Soft Fill Set
value). The soft fill PID operation continues until the feedback or the soft fill PID reference
value reaches the value set at AP1-23 (Soft Fill Set value). When the soft fill operation ends,
a normal PID operation starts.

Soft Fill Operation Setting Details
Enables or disables the soft fill PID.
Sets the frequency range for a general acceleration without PID control. If
AP1-21 (Pre-PID Freq) is set to 30 Hz, general operation is performed until
the PID feedback reaches the value set at AP1-23 (Soft Fill Set). However,
if the PID reference or feedback exceeds the value set at AP1-23 during
