1.3.5 Miscellaneous
Analog inputs
The analog inputs are used for controlling various
functions of the frequency converter.
There are 2 types of analog inputs:
Current input, 0–20 mA, and 4–20 mA
Voltage input, -10 V DC to +10 V DC.
Analog outputs
The analog outputs can supply a signal of 0–20 mA, 4–
20 mA.
Automatic motor adaptation, AMA
AMA algorithm determines the electrical parameters for
the connected motor at standstill.
Brake resistor
The brake resistor is a module capable of absorbing the
brake power generated in regenerative braking. This
regenerative brake power increases the DC-link voltage
and a brake chopper ensures that the power is transmitted
to the brake resistor.
CT characteristics
Constant torque characteristics used for all applications
such as conveyor belts, displacement pumps, and cranes.
Digital inputs
The digital inputs can be used for controlling various
functions of the frequency converter.
Digital outputs
The frequency converter features 2 solid-state outputs that
can supply a 24 V DC (maximum 40 mA) signal.
DSP
Digital signal processor.
ETR
Electronic thermal relay is a thermal load calculation based
on present load and time. Its purpose is to estimate the
motor temperature.
Hiperface®
Hiperface®is a registered trademark by Stegmann.
Initializing
If initializing is carried out (parameter 14-22 Operation
Mode), the frequency converter returns to the default
setting.
Intermittent duty cycle
An intermittent duty rating refers to a sequence of duty
cycles. Each cycle consists of an on-load and an o-load
period. The operation can be either periodic duty or non-
periodic duty.
LCP
The local control panel makes up a complete interface for
control and programming of the frequency converter. The
control panel is detachable and can be installed up to 3 m
(10 ft) from the frequency converter, that is, in a front
panel with the installation kit option.
lsb
Least signicant bit.
msb
Most signicant bit.
MCM
Short for mille circular mil, an American measuring unit for
cable cross-section. 1 MCM=0.5067 mm2.
Online/oine parameters
Changes to online parameters are activated immediately
after the data value is changed. Press [OK] to activate
changes to o-line parameters.
Process PID
The PID control maintains the required speed, pressure,
temperature, and so on, by adjusting the output frequency
to match the varying load.
PCD
Process control data.
Power cycle
Switch o the mains until display (LCP) is dark, then turn
power on again.
Pulse input/incremental encoder
An external, digital pulse transmitter used for feeding back
information on motor speed. The encoder is used in
applications where great accuracy in speed control is
required.
RCD
Residual current device.
Set-up
Save parameter settings in 4 set-ups. Change between the
4 parameter set-ups and edit 1 set-up, while another set-
up is active.
SFAVM
Switching pattern called stator ux-oriented asynchronous
vector modulation (parameter 14-00 Switching Pattern).
Slip compensation
The frequency converter compensates for the motor slip by
giving the frequency a supplement that follows the
measured motor load keeping the motor speed almost
constant.
SLC
The SLC (smart logic control) is a sequence of user-dened
actions executed when the associated user-dened events
are evaluated as true by the SLC. (See chapter 4.9.1 Smart
Logic Controller).
STW
Status word.
FC standard bus
Includes RS485 bus with FC protocol or MC protocol. See
parameter 8-30 Protocol.
THD
Total harmonic distortion states the total contribution of
harmonic.
