D-4 Application Notes
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 A152
[PID Ref Sel] is set to option 5,
6, 7 or 8.
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.
