A 10V Input and a Pot Input will be used in detailing the scaling and offset
parameters. At Pot Input, between TB5 terminals 7 and 8, a potentiometer
with a range of
±
10V DC has been connected. Parameter 358 has been linked
to Parameter 104 (Velocity Reference 2 HI) in the Drive, which gives the
potentiometer control of the external velocity reference. To calibrate the pot
to control 100% base speed in both directions, the scaling parameter must be
adjusted. The default value of the scale parameters allows a total range of
4096, –2048 to +2048. This allows only 50% base speed in each direction.
By setting a scale factor of 2 in Parameter 360 (An In 1 Scale) the digital
input is multiplied by 2, providing a range of –
4096 to + 4096, or 100% base
speed in both directions. If the user wanted a range of
±
2 times base speed,
the scale factor would have to be 4 (Base Speed = 4096, 2 times Base Speed
= 8192, 2048 times 4 = 8192). Parameter 359 (Offset) will remain at the
default value of zero, allowing the input range to be –10V to +10V. The
range of the offset parameter is
±
20V DC as shown in Figure 4.8.

For 10V Input, a 0 to 10 volt potentiometer will be used to adjust the Torque
Reference from –100% to +100%. To accomplish this, both the scale and
offset parameters will need to be adjusted. By linking Parameter 355 to
Parameter 162, Torque Reference, the potentiometer connected to Analog
Input becomes the Torque Reference Signal. This signal must be scaled and
offset in order to get the entire
±
100% in the 0-10 volt range. A digital
range of 8192 (
±
4096) must now be scaled for an analog range of 10 volts,
and must be offset so 5 volts on the potentiometer will indicate 0% Torque.
