ASSIGNMENT OF ANALOG INPUTS (AIX)
The following sections describe the possible assignments of the Analog
Inputs (AIx) on the drive controller and the optional I/O Extension Cards.
Speed Reference Summing
Analog input AI2 (and/or analog input AI3 with an I/O extension card ) can be
assigned as a summing input for AI1 with peak limiting corresponding to the
speed HSP. This is often used for machines whose speed is controlled by a
correction signal on input AI2.
The figure to the left provides a graphical depiction of summed references.
PI Regulation
The PI Regulation function provides simple r egulation of flow rate or pressure
with a setpoint input and a sensor sending a feedback signal to the drive
controller. This function is often used for pumping and f an applicati ons. N ote
that the PI Regulation function is not compatible with the Preset Speeds and
Jog functions.
The acceleration (ACC) and deceleration (dEC) ramp s def aul t to line ar ramp
type even if the ramps had been configured for S ramp or U ramp.
PI regulator can be used with a logic input configured for PI Auto/Manual
mode of operation when the analog option card is used. When the PI
regulator is configured and a logic input is configured for PI A uto/Man ual, the
PI regulator function is active in Auto mode and AI3 is used for speed input
in Manual mode.
Logic inputs can be used with the PI regulator to command the drive
controller to run from the analog reference, run at process maximum, or
operate with two other definable preset setpoints. The configurable se tpoints
can be used to provide two different setpoints for two diff erent proces ses , or
they can be used instead of using AI1 for setpoint input. For example,
providing a setpoint via the logic inputs can eliminate the need for a
potentiometer.
Four analog outputs are available to monitor various aspects of the PI
regulator function. See page 63 for more information.
