DanfossFCSeriesVFDReferenceHandling
Thistutorialwillexplainhowtointerpretthereferenceparametersandachievethedesired
results.

ThefirststepinthesetuprequiresyoutosetupparametersintheP3‐0*parametergroupand
enteryourdesiredminimumandmaximumreferences,whichcanbeenteredinP3‐02&P3‐03.
Nomatterwhichreferenceunityouwillbeworkingin,thesearethelowestandhighestallowable
valuestobecommandedtotheVFD.


 


Next,forP3‐04,therearetwoavailablechoices,SumorExternal/Preset.

WhenSumisselected,anyterminalprogrammedasareferenceresource,includingdigitalinputs,
analoginputs,presetreferencesorserialbusreferenceswillbeaddedtogethertoproducethe
totalspeedreference.Eachofthesedifferentpossiblereferenceresourcescanbescaledto
produceacertainpercentageoftheP3‐03MaximumReference.

WhenExternal/Presethasbeenselected,thedrivewillrespondtoeitheronlypresetreferences
ORthesumofalltheexternalreferenceresourcesasdescribedabove.Thedrivewilltoggle
betweenthetwousingadigitalinput,asshownbelow.

Thereferenceswillnowneedtobedefined.ThisisdoneintheP3‐1*parametergroup.P3‐10,
P3‐15,P3‐16&P3‐17areallparametersthatwillallowyousetupthereferencesources.Ifyou
wanttousemultiplereferencepoints,thentheymustalsobedefinedhere.Mostapplicationswill
onlyuseonereferenceterminalratherthanmultiples.Ifusingonlyonereferenceterminal,setthe
singlereferencesourceinP3‐15,andprogramallotherresourcesto[0]NoFunction.Thisisgood
practicebecauseoftheSumfunctiondescribedearlier.

Note:Ifotherterminalsareprogrammedasreferenceresourcesbutnotactuallyused,anysignal
thatispresentonthoseterminalswillbesummedintothetotalreferencevalue.



Afterthereferencesourceshavebeendefined,thenextstepistoscalethem.Theanaloginputs
areprogrammedinP6‐1*&P6‐2*.Fortheexampleabove,AnalogInput53mustnowbescaled.
Youwillneedtosetalowandhighvoltageorcurrentaswellasalowandhighreferencevalue.
Seebelow.





Beawarethatifmultiplereferencesourcesarechosen,theneachcanbescaledindividuallyto
contributethedesiredportionofyourmaximumreference.
Example:AnalogInput53=0‐10V=0‐50Hz&AnalogInput54=0‐10V=0‐10Hz.NowAnalogInput53will
commandthefirst50HzandAnalogInput54willactasatrimforthelast10Hz.
