L2002 Inverter

Analog Output Operation

In inverter applications it is useful to monitor the inverter operation from a remote location or from the front panel of an inverter enclosure. In some cases, this requires only a panel-mounted volt meter. In other cases, a controller such as a PLC may provide the inverter’s frequency command, and require inverter feedback data (such as output frequency or output current) to confirm actual operation. The analog output terminal [AM] serves these purposes.

The inverter provides an analog voltage output on terminal [AM] with terminal [L] as analog GND reference. The [AM] can output inverter frequency or current output value. Note that the voltage range is 0 to +10V (positive-going only), regardless of forward or reverse motor rotation. Use C028 to configure terminal [FM] as indicated below.

The graph to the right shows the effect of the gain setting. To calibrate the [AM] output for your application, follow the steps below:

1.Verify that the inverter is in Stop Mode.

2.Use C086 to adjust the offset voltage. The factory default (0V) is the correct value for most cases. Otherwise, you can have a positive voltage at zero speed or current.

3.Run the motor at the full scale speed.

a.If [AM] represents output frequency, use B080 to set the voltage for full scale output (up to 10V).
