Frequency Reference
6-5
Using Multi-Step Speed Operation
The MxC can be programmed to change the speed of the motor over a 17-step process, using 16 frequency ref-
erences and one jog frequency reference.
The following example of a multi-function input terminal function shows a 9-step operation using Multi-Step
References 1 to 3 and the Jog Frequency Selection functions.
Related Parameters
To switch frequency references, set Multi-Step Speed References 1 to 3 and the Jog Reference Selection to the
multi-function digital inputs. Setting examples are shown below.
Multi-Function Digital Inputs (H1-01 to H1-10)
Combination of Multi-Function References and Multi-Function Digital Inputs
Change the selected frequency reference by combining the on/off status of S5 to S9 (multi-function digital
input terminals) to set Multi-Step Speed References 1 to 3 and the Jog Frequency Selection. The following
table shows the possible combinations.
* The Jog Frequency Selection for terminal S7 is given priority over the other multi-step speed references.
