As a Speed Reference input ( ...01h), Analog input #1 sets the speed of the controlled motor directly if the DFS-1 is set up in Master Mode (parameter #5 - VL2 VL1).

If the DFS-1 is in SLAVE mode, Analog Input #1, when set to ...01h will act as a Ratio SETPOINT.

The External Torque Limits are used to set limits on the motor current which are below the current limit level. When parameter #5 VL4 VL3 is set to 00 01h, or 00 02h, Analog Input #1 may be set to ...03h or ...04h respectively to supply the torque limiting reference.

The External Horsepower Limit sets the maxi- mum horsepower produced by the drive. Horsepower is the PRODUCT of speed and torque. When motor speed is low, motor current is high, and when speed is high, current is low. The drive increases speed until sufficient load is developed and the product of load and speed equals the setpoint. After that is achieved, increasing load reduces speed, and decreasing load increases speed.

18.ANALOG INPUT #1 SIGNAL CONDITIONING

USE PARAMETER #17 TO SELECT THE FORM OF THE SIGNAL AT ANALOG INPUT #1. RANGE OF VALUES: 0000 0000h to 0000 001Fh

0 TO 32 (decimal)

Default Value: 0000 0001h

1 (decimal)

Six types of signals will be accepted by Analog Input #1. Parameter #18 selects the form of signal to be processed.

The six types of signals are:

0000 0000h

-10VDC to +10VDC

 

bipolar voltage input with zero

 

center value

0000 0001h

0 to +10VDC

 

unipolar voltage signal

0000 0002h

0 to +5VDC

 

unipolar voltage signal

0000 0003h

1 to +5VDC

 

unipolar voltage signal

0000 0004h

0 to 20mA

 

unipolar current signal

0000 0005h

4 to 20mA

 

unipolar current signal

0000 0006h

to 0000 001Fh

 

Undefined - Reserved for

 

future use

If an undefined mode (...06 through ...1F) is selected, Analog Input #1 will be inoperative.

Choosing the incorrect signal conditioning for the actual input signal will result in erratic operation.

19.ANALOG INPUT #1 LOW ENGINEERING UNITS (EGU)

USE PARAMETER #17 TO SELECT THE THRESHOLD OF ANALOG INPUT #1 EFFECT. RANGE OF VALUES: FFFE 7961h to 0001 869Fh

-99,999 to +99,999(dec.)

Default Value: 0000 0000h

0 (decimal)

(See Parameter 14 for the definition

and purpose of EGU) Parameter #19 sets the threshold level for

effectiveness of Analog Input #1 at the lowest signal level.

Assume that the maximum speed of the 1750 RPM motor is set to 12500 EGU’s in parameter #14 (representing, perhaps, 125.00 RPM on an extruder screw) and the Analog input is set for a Speed Reference Input of 0 to +10VDC. The default value of parameter 19 is 0. This means that when 0VDC is present at Analog Input #1, the result will be zero speed.

Now, if we want to set a minimum speed on this system, we can set a value of 500 in parameter #19. This means that when 0VDC is present at Analog Input #1, the motor will run at a speed of 500/12500 or 4 percent (70 rpm) of the maximum speed of the motor. (see also parameter #20).
