Vacon NX series Applications Manual

5 PID CONTROL APPLICATION
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Select the PID Control Application in menu M6 on page S6.2
In the PID Control Application, there are two I/O terminal control places; place A is the PID
controller and source B is the direct frequency reference. The control place A or B is
selected with digital input DIN6.
The PID controller reference can be selected from the analogue inputs, fieldbus, motorised
potentiometer, enabling the PID Reference 2 or applying the control keypad reference. The
PID controller actual value can be selected from the analogue inputs, fieldbus, the actual
values of the motor or through the mathematical functions of these.
The direct frequency reference can be used for the control without the PID controller and
selected from the analogue inputs, fieldbus, motor potentiometer or keypad.
The PID Application is typically used to control level measuring or pumps and fans. In these
applications, the PID Application provides a smooth control and an integrated measuring and
controlling package where no additional components are needed.
