6.1.14.8 Group 3.13.8: Soft Fill
The process is brought to a certain level (P3.13.8.3) at slow frequency (P3.13.8.2) before the PID
controller starts to control. In addition, you can also set a timeout for the soft fill function. If
the set level is not reached within the timeout a fault is triggered. This function can be used
e.g. to fill the empty pipe line slowly in order to avoid "water hammers" that could otherwise
break the pipes.
It is recommended to use the Soft Fill function always when using the Multi Pump functionality.

Code Parameter Min Max Unit Default ID Description
P3.13.8.1 Enable 0 1 0 1094
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
P3.13.8.2 SoftFill Freq 0.00 50.00 Hz 20.00 1055
The drive accelerates to this
frequency before starting to
control.
P3.13.8.3 SoftFill Level Varies Varies Varies 0.0000 1095
The drive runs at the PID
start frequency until the
feedback reaches this value.
At this point the controller
starts to regulate (depending
on acting mode).
P3.13.8.4 Timeout TIme 0 30000 s 0 1096
If the desired value is not
reached within this time a
fault or alarm is created.
0 = No timeout (
NOTE! No
fault triggered if value ‘0’ is
set)
P3.13.8.5 Timeout Response 0 3 2 738
0 = No action
1 = Alarm
2 = Fault (Stop according to
stop mode)
3 = Fault (Stop by coasting)
