Figure 8-1 
A Typical Closed Loop Controller 
Figure 8-1 shows how the closed loop controller is implemented in the MM420. 
Note.. 
That all setpoints are now expressed in percentage.  When controlling a Setpoint, 
the frequency is not the desired quantity. 
The setpoint usually derived from a fixed frequency has adjustable ramp rate that 
can be set before being compared with a feedback signal.  The feedback signal, 
which is usually a 0-10 V or 4-20 mA signal derived from a transducer connected to 
the analog input, is also pre-processed with threshold limits.  The difference 
between the set point and the feedback signal (the error) is then amplified and 
filtered using gain and integration constants.  These are usually known as the P 
and I terms.  In this case a differential term (D) is not included as it is rarely 
needed.  Before the P and I processing the error signal is optionally corrected 
(“transducer type”).  This correction is to determine whether to speed up, or slow 
down the motor to reduce the feedback signal.  That is, increasing the speed of a 
vacuum pump will decrease pressure; increasing the speed of a compressor will 
increase pressure. 
After processing with the P and I terms, the resulting signal is passed to the 
inverter which increases or decreases the output frequency as required, subject to 
certain limitations, such as acceleration and deceleration times. 
8.1.3 
Setting up a feedback control system 
Some general points. 
·  Remember that once closed loop operation is enabled values such as the 
setpoint are displayed in percent of full scale. 
·  If possible run the drive open loop first, to check, in particular, the sensor 
feedback voltage or current. 
·  Check P2271 value for the correct ‘sense’ operation.  Set P2271 according to 
the sensor/actuator types.  If the feedback signal reduces as the motor speed 
increases,  select P2271=1.  Otherwise,  use P2271=0.
