Pump function by multiple motors Advanced PID function Pr. 554, Pr. 575 to Pr. 591 283
The inverter can be used to exercise process control, e.g. flow rate, air volume or pressure.
The terminal 2 input signal or parameter setting is used as a set point and the terminal 4 input signal used as a
feedback value to constitute a feedback system for PID control.

129 *1 PID proportional band 100% 0. 1 to 1000%
If the proportional band is narrow (parameter setting is small), the
manipulated variable varies greatly with a slight change of the
measured value. Hence, as the proportional band narrows, the
response sensitivity (gain) improves but the stability deteriorates,
e.g. hunting occurs.
Gain Kp = 1/proportional band
9999 No proportional control
130 *1 PID integral time 1s 0.1 to 3600s
When deviation step is input, time (Ti) is the time required for
integral (I) action to provide the same manipulated variable as
proportional (P) action.
As the integral time decreases, the set point is reached earlier but
hunting occurs more easily.
9999 No integral control.
131 PID upper limit 9999 0 to 100% *3
Set the upper limit value. If the feedback value exceeds the
setting, the FUP signal is output. The maximum input (20mA/5V/
10V) of the measured value (terminal 4) is equivalent to 100%.
9999 No function
