Appendix F PID Set Up
• When the PID Control Loop is disabled, the Commanded Speed is the
Ramped Speed Reference.
Trim Control
In Trim Control, the PID Output is added to the Speed Reference. In Trim
mode, the output of the PID loop bypasses the accel/decel ramp as shown. Trim
Control is used when A458
or A470 [PID x Trim Sel] is set to any option other
than 0.
Example
• In a winder application, the PID Reference equals the Equilibrium set
point.
• The Dancer Pot signal provides PID Feedback to the drive. Fluctuations in
tension result in a PID Error value.
• The Master Speed Reference sets the wind/unwind speed.
• As tension increases or decreases during winding, the Speed Reference is
trimmed to compensate. Tension is maintained near the Equilibrium set
point.
