Process PI
The internal PI function of the PowerFlex 700H provides closed loop process
control with proportional and integral control action. The function is designed
for use in applications that require simple control of a process without external
control devices. The PI function allows the microprocessor of the drive to follow
a single process control loop.
The PI function reads a process variable input to the drive and compares it to a
desired setpoint stored in the drive. The algorithm will then adjust the output of
the PI regulator, changing drive output frequency to try and make the process
variable equal the setpoint.
It can operate as trim mode by summing the PI loop output with a master speed
reference.
Or, it can operate as control mode by supplying the entire speed reference. This
method is identified as “exclusive mode”
