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
current frequency command serves as the SP. The PID loop calculations will read the
analog input for the process variable (you specify the current or voltage input) and calcu-
late the output. A scale factor in A75 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 page 4–27 for more information on PID loop control.
NOTE: The setting A73 for the integrator is the integrator’s time constant Ti, not the
gain. The integrator gain Ki = 1/Ti. When you set A73 = 0, the integrator is disabled.
