46.5. Example of Compensation of Voltage Drop in a Filter
Assume that a sinusoidal filter is installed between the Penta Drive and the motor. The drive output voltage is to be
adjusted to compensate for voltage drop caused by that filter. The following can be used as a feedback signal:
1) an analog input, connected to a signal proportional to RMS voltage, downstream of the filter, obtained by transforming
and rectifying one of the phases;
2) two analog inputs, connected to two signals obtained by transforming two of the phases, utilized by the system to
compute the RMS voltage value (see M051a).
46.5.1. VOLTAGE DROP COMPENSATION – FEEDBACK FROM
SINGLE ANALOG INPUT
Assume that a 0-10V voltage signal proportional to RMS voltage downstream of the filter is available and that 50Vrms
correspond to 1V. This signal is linked to analog input AIN1. The rated motor voltage (C019) is assumed to be 400V.
Set the following in the PID CONFIGURATION MENU:
Selection of PID Reference 1
Selection of PID Feedback 1
Set the following in the INPUTS FOR REFERENCES MENU:
Type of Reference for AIN1 Input
Ref. Max. Value Limits for AIN1 Input
Set the following in the PID PARAMETERS MENU:
Proportional Coefficient Value
The selection criterion of parameters P057 and P246 is the following as per the hypothesis above: 10V for AIN1
correspond to 500Vrms, i.e. 125% of the rated motor voltage set in C019.
The compensated output voltage will be as follows:
Vout = Vd + Vmot*PIDout, where:
Vd is the voltage that could be delivered without compensation,
Vmot is the rated motor voltage (C019),
PIDout is the PID output, given by (Vref - Vfbk)/Vmot.
