144 ACS 400 User’s Manual
References
References are 16-bit words comprised of a sign bit and a 15-bit integer. A negative reference
(indicating reversed direction of rotation) is formed by calculating the two’s complement from the
corresponding positive reference value.
Reference 1
Holding Register: 40002
Reference 1 can be used as the frequency reference
REF1 for the ACS 400. The signal source of
external reference 1 (
REF1) must be set to COMM and external control location 1 (EXT1) must be
activated. Refer to parameters 1103
EXT REF 1 SELECT and 1102 EXT1/EXT2 SEL.
Reference 2
Holding Register: 40003
Reference 2 can be used as the frequency reference
REF2 for the ACS 400. The signal source of
external reference 2
REF2 must be set to COMM and External control location 2 (EXT2) must be
activated. Refer to parameters 1106
EXT REF 2 SELECT and 1102 EXT1/EXT2 SEL.
Fieldbus Reference Scaling
Fieldbus references are scaled as follows:
Reference 1: 20000 EXT REF1 MAX (Hz, parameter 1105). Scaling Parameter 1104 EXT REF1
MIN is not used.
Reference 2: 10000 EXT REF2 MAX (%, parameter 1108). Scaling Parameter 1107 EXT REF2
MIN is not used.
Fieldbus Reference
Fieldbus reference is selected by setting a reference selection parameter – 1103 EXT REF1
SELECT or 1106 EXT REF2 SELECT – to COMM, COMM+AI1 or COMM*AI1. The latter two
enable correction of the fieldbus reference using analog input AI1. The following table explains
these selections. Note that the analog input value is a percentage value (0-100 %) which can be
seen in parameter 0118 AI1. When the analog input is 50 %, the correction is 0. When the input is
<50 % (>50 %), the correction reduces (respectively increases) the reference used.
Table 25 Correcting the fieldbus reference through analog input.
Parameter Setting Effect of AI1 Value on Fieldbus Reference
COMM None
COMM+AI1 Corrected fieldbus reference = given fieldbus reference + analog input AI1 value
COMM*AI1 Corrected fieldbus reference = given fieldbus reference * analog input AI1 value / 50 %
