PID Quick Start Guide for Fan and Pump Applications
PID is a control method that can be used for the purpose of automatically regulating flow or
pressure in fan and pump applications. This guide is to simplify the start up of the PA7300 Inverter
series for Fan and Pump applications using PID control. The Guide is not intended to replace the
PA7300 Installation and Operation Manual 4H358D0250007, and the user is urged review this
manual.
The PID method of control covered by this guide will consist basically of a set-point (operating Point,
e.g. Flow, Pressure etc.) entered through the keypad and an analog feedback signal (0 – 10 VDC or
4 - 20 mA). These two signals are then compared, and through PID processing, correct for any load
or environmental changes to maintain the set-point. Only the (P) proportional and (I) integral
parameters will be set and adjusted through the keypad to optimize performance. The parameter (D)
derivative will not be discussed or used in this guide as the factory setting is usually sufficient for Fan
and Pump applications. Although the inverter can be controlled via Serial Communication It is beyond
the scope of this guide. For Serial Communication control or special external control, the user is
referred to the PA7300 Installation and Operating Manual.
SAFETY FIRST!
Step 1 - Before Starting the Inverter
• Referring to the PA7300 Instruction Manual, please review and verify that the correct inverter size
for the motor was received free of damage. To ensure personnel safety and to avoid equipment
damage, follow the precautions and the installation procedures for mounting, wiring, and operating
environment.
CAUTION - To avoid damage to the inverter when removing the inverter cover
and/or LCD Operator, refer to Appendix B for the proper procedure.
• In accordance applicable codes make electrical connections to the motor and input power
terminals. (Refer to the block diagram, Fig. 4). No other external connections should be made at
this time, as the initial control will be from the Keypad.
Step 2 - Apply Power to the Drive
• Apply AC power to the Inverter and observe the LCD Display Line 1; it should read
“Freq. Cmd 00.00Hz”. Line 2 should read “TECO”. The red LED on the STOP key should be ON.
The DRIVE and FWD LED’s should be ON. (See Fig. 1 below)

Step 3 - Set Drive to Run Mode
• If the red DRIVE LED is not ON with AC power up, press the PGRM / DRIVE key until the red
Drive LED is ON. The Inverter is now in the RUN mode.
Step 4 - Check Fan or Pump Motor Operation
•Enter 10.00Hz for the frequency reference and set parameter Sn-05 = 0010 to disable Reverse
Direction operation. Note: The output from the inverter is displayed in Hz as factory default. If
desired, the output may be displayed in per cent (%) of full speed. (see appendix)
•Press the RUN key, and check the fan or pump direction of rotation. If the direction is not correct,
press the STOP key and wait until the fan or pump has come to a complete STOP. Next, Power
Down the inverter.
Danger
After the power has been turned OFF, wait at least 5 minutes until the charge
indicator extinguishes completely before touching any wiring, circuit boards or
components.
•Reverse any two of the fan or pump motor connections at the inverter (U(T1),V(T2), or W(T3) ).
Next, following STEP 2, Power-up the inverter; the motor direction should now be correct.

Step 5 – Select Method of Control (Sn-04) and PID Command (Sn-19)
•Before selecting these parameters, ensure the inverter is in the STOP mode.
•The set-point is selected by the keypad, and the start / stop method can be from the keypad or
external contact (see Fig. 2A). NOTE: The set-point can also be set from an external source but
commonly it is set from the keypad.
•Parameter Sn – 04 is used to select the method or control and the values are shown in the
following Table. Parameter Sn – 04 =
Function Start / Stop Set - Point
0011 Keypad Keypad
0001 External Contact Keypad
•Parameter Sn – 19 is used to select the PID operation mode and is to be set = 09.
•To set parameters Sn – 04 and Sn-19 follow the navigation procedure below.

Step 6 – Making External Control Connections
•Before removing any covers or making any external control connections, power down the
inverter.
Danger
After the power has been turned OFF, wait at least 5 minutes until the charge
indicator extinguishes completely before touching any wiring, circuit boards, or
components.
•In the following pages are wiring examples for (analog) feedback, (digital input) Start / Stop,
E-Stop, (digital output) Restart, and Fault indication connections.

NOTES:
1 - Before connecting any feedback device, be sure to
read the manufacturers instructions thoroughly as
wiring color codes and connections may vary.
2 - Fig’s 2a and 2b show typical connections for
0 - +10VDC and 4 – 20 mA feedback devices.
The wiring color codes red and black and the
connections shown are for illustrative purposes
and may be different for a particular feedback
device.
3 - As an example Fig. 2c shows the connections
for a 4-20 mA pressure transducer used in
water pump applications. Note that the color
code is brown and white and the connections
are to +15 and AIN .

Step 7 – Setting PID Parameters; Proportional Gain (Bn-14) and
Integral Time (Bn-15)
A Word About PID Control-
•After all external connections have been made and the protective covers have been
replaced, POWER UP the inverter but do not RUN at this point.
•Parameters Bn-14 = 1.0 (Proportional Gain) and Bn-15 = 10.0s (Integral Time) are factory
set to the values shown. However, a good starting point for these values is setting the
Proportional Gain Bn-14 = 2.0 and the Integral Time Bn-15 = 5.0s. To change these
parameters, follow the keypad navigation procedure below.

Step 8– Setting Parameters, Acceleration (Bn-01) and Deceleration (Bn-02)
Times
•Acceleration and Deceleration times as well as the PID control [(P) Proportional Gain
and/or the (I) Integral Time (see STEP 7)]directly control the system dynamic response. In
general, the longer the acceleration and deceleration time, the slower the system response,
and the shorter time, the faster the response. An excessive amount of time can result in
sluggish system performance while too short of a time may result in system instability.
The starting values suggested by this guide normally result in good system performance for
the majority of Fan and Pump applications. If the values need to be adjusted, caution
should be exercised, and the changes should be in small increments to avoid system
instability.
•Parameters Bn-01 (Acceleration) and Bn-02 (Deceleration) are both set at the factory for
10.0 seconds. For Fan and Pump applications, the recommended starting values are 30
seconds. To change these parameters, follow the keypad navigation procedure below.

Step 9 – Setting Minimum Speed in Pump Applications
(NOTE: In the case of a Fan application skip this step and go to Step 10)
•In the case of pump applications it is normally required to limit the minimum speed that the
pump will operate regardless of the input speed command. The pump minimum speed is
usually specified either by the pump manufacturer or the application. Once this value has
been established, the minimum output frequency of the inverter and thus the minimum
motor (pump) speed can be set by parameter Cn-15. This parameter sets the minimum
inverter frequency output, and thus a minimum motor (pump) speed to a percentage of the
maximum output command frequency.
•The following is an example of setting the minimum motor (pump) speed to 900 RPM,
which is 50% of the maximum pump speed, 1800 RPM.
Step 10 – Testing The System
•The system can now be tested for performance. To do this, set the set-point through the
keypad and run the drive at some low level. Check that the motor is operating properly and
that the feedback signal level and polarity are correct.
•Check the system for dynamic operation and make any adjustments necessary for optimum
performance. This may require making adjustments to parameters Bn-14 proportional
gain and Bn-15 Integral Time. (Refer to Step 7)
NOTE: Parameters Bn-14 and Bn-15 may be changed through the keypad while the
system is operating.
A word of CAUTION ! - the parameter changes should be made in small increments
and the results checked to avoid highly unstable and possibly damaging
conditions.
•This should complete the installation.
