PID Control
When enabled, the built-in PID loop calculates an ideal inverter output value to cause a
loop feedback process variable (PV) to move closer in value to the setpoint (SP). The
frequency command serves as the SP. The PID loop algorithm will read the analog input
for the process variable (you specify the current or voltage input) and calculate the
output.
• A scale factor in A075 lets you multiply the PV by a factor, converting it into
engineering units for the process.
• Proportional, integral, and derivative gains are all adjustable.
• See “
PID Loop Operation” on page 4–54 for more information.
NOTE: The setting A073 for the integrator is the integrator’s time constant Ti, not the
gain. The integrator gain Ki = 1/Ti. When you set A073 = 0, the integrator is disabled.
