3.23 Parameters: 25-** Cascade Controller
Parameters for conguring the basic cascade controller for sequence control of multiple pumps. For a more application-
oriented description and wiring examples, see Application Examples, Cascade Controller in the design guide.
To congure the cascade controller to the actual system and the required control strategy, follow the sequence starting with
parameter group 25-0* System Settings and next parameter group 25-5* Alternation Settings. These parameters can normally be
set in advance.
Parameters in parameter groups 25-2* Bandwidth Settings and 25-4* Staging Settings often depend on the dynamic of the
system and nal adjustment to be done at the commissioning of the plant.
NOTICE
The cascade controller is supposed to operate in closed loop controlled by the built-in PI controller ([3] closed loop
selected in parameter 1-00 Conguration Mode). If [0] open loop is selected in parameter 1-00 Conguration Mode, all
xed-speed pumps are destaged, but the variable-speed pump is still controlled by the frequency converter, now as an
open-loop conguration:
