78 Process PID Loop
When the PID is disabled the commanded speed is the ramped speed reference.
When the PID is enabled, the output of the PID Controller is added to the ramped
speed reference.
Exclusive Mode
In this mode, the output of PID regulator is the speed reference, and does not “trim”
a master speed reference. This mode is appropriate when speed is unimportant and
the only thing that matters is satisfying the control loop. In the pumping application
example below, the reference or setpoint is the required pressure in the system. The
input from the transducer is the PID feedback and changes as the pressure changes.
The drive output frequency is then increased or decreased as needed to maintain
system pressure regardless of flow changes. With the drive turning the pump at the
required speed, the pressure is maintained in the system.
