8.4.5 Control from external PLC/BMS through Analog Input
This set-up allows an external control source such as a PLC or BMS controller to provide: a) the process variable, b)
the setpoint or c) a speed reference. The output from the external control device can be either a voltage or current sig-
nal. The analog input configuration switches must be set to the correct type of output signal. The drawing below shows
the connections for this configuration.
This wiring scheme is used with Set-up 2, as shown in “10.1 SelfSensing Description” on page 34.
