1.2.5 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, 0 to +10 V DC.
Analog outputs
The analog outputs can supply a signal of 0–20 mA, or 4–
20 mA.
Automatic motor adaptation, AMA
The 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 intermediate circuit
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.
FC standard bus
Includes RS485 bus with FC protocol or MC protocol. See
parameter 8-30 Protocol.
Initialising
If initialising is carried out (parameter 14-22 Operation
Mode), the frequency converter returns to the default
setting.

The numerical local control panel interface for control and
programming of the frequency converter. The display is
numerical and the panel is used to show process values.
The NLCP has storing and copy functions.
lsb
Least signicant bit.
msb
Most signicant bit.
MCM
Short for mille circular mil, an American measuring unit for
cable cross-section. 1 MCM = 0.5067 mm2.
On-line/o-line parameters
Changes to on-line 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 speed, pressure, and
temperature by adjusting the output frequency to match
the varying load.
PCD
Process control data.
Power cycle
Switch o the mains until the display (LCP) is dark, then
turn power on again.
Power factor
The power factor is the relation between I1and IRMS.
Powerfactor =  3xUxI1cosϕ1
3xUxIRMS
For VLT®Midi Drive FC 280 frequency converters, cos ϕ 1=
1, therefore:
Powerfactor =  I1xcosϕ1
IRMS
= I1
IRMS

The power factor indicates to which extent the frequency
converter imposes a load on the mains supply.
The lower the power factor, the higher the IRMS for the
same kW performance.
IRMS =  I1
2+I5 2+I7 2 + .. + In 2
In addition, a high power factor indicates that the dierent
harmonic currents are low.
The built-in DC coils produce a high power factor,
minimising the imposed load on the mains supply.
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 2 set-ups. Change between the
2 parameter set-ups and edit 1 set-up while another set-up
is active.
SFAVM
Acronym describing the switching pattern stator ux-
oriented asynchronous vector modulation.
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.
Smart logic control (SLC)
The SLC is a sequence of user-dened actions executed
when the associated user-dened events are evaluated as
true by the smart logic controller (parameter group 13-**
Smart Logic Control).
STW
Status word.
THD
Total harmonic distortion states the total contribution of
harmonic distortion.
Thermistor
A temperature-dependent resistor placed where the
temperature is monitored (frequency converter or motor).
Trip
A state entered in fault situations, for example, if the
frequency converter is subject to overvoltage or when it is
protecting the motor, process, or mechanism. Restart is
prevented until the cause of the fault has disappeared, and
the trip state is canceled by activating reset or, sometimes,
by being programmed to reset automatically. Do not use
trip for personal safety.
Trip lock
A state entered in fault situations when the frequency
converter is protecting itself and requiring physical
intervention, for example, if the frequency converter is
subject to a short circuit on the output. A locked trip can
only be cancelled by cutting o mains, removing the cause
of the fault, and reconnecting the frequency converter.
Restart is prevented until the trip state is cancelled by
activating reset or, in some cases, by being programmed to
reset automatically. Do not use trip lock for personal safety.
VT characteristics
Variable torque characteristics used for pumps and fans.
VVC+
If compared with standard voltage/frequency ratio control,
voltage vector control (VVC+) improves the dynamics and
stability, both when the speed reference is changed and in
relation to the load torque.
60°AVM
Refers to the switching pattern 60
° asynchronous vector
modulation.

In rare cases, long control cables and analog signals could
result in 50/60 Hz ground loops due to noise from mains
supply cables. If this occurs, break the screen or insert a
100 nF capacitor between screen and chassis.
The digital and analog inputs and outputs must be
connected separately to the common inputs (terminal 55)
of the frequency converter to avoid ground currents from
both groups to aect other groups. For example, switching
on the digital input could disturb the analog input signal.
