Application control
Application macros
Application macros are predefined application parameter edits and I/O configurations.
See chapter Application macros (page 95).
Process PID control
There is a built-in process PID controller in the drive. The controller can be used to
control process variables such as pressure, flow or fluid level.
In process PID control, a process reference (setpoint) is connected to the drive
instead of a speed reference. An actual value (process feedback) is also brought
back to the drive. The process PID control adjusts the drive speed in order to keep
the measured process quantity (actual value) at the desired level (setpoint).
The simplified block diagram below illustrates the process PID control. For a more
detailed block diagram, see page 560.
The control program contains two complete sets of process PID controller settings
that can be alternated whenever necessary; see parameter 40.57 PID set1/set2
selection.
Note: Process PID control is only available in external control; see section Local
control vs. external control (page 20).
