F-11 Remote Reference Gain (continued)
To calculate the scaled reference if you are using a 0 to 20 mA remote reference,
use the following equation:
To calculate the scaled reference if you are using a 0 to 10 VDC remote reference,
use the following equation:
:
Typically, the value of the minimum speed reference (the amount of reference at
minimum speed, F-03) is either 0 VDC or 0 mA. Enter the parameter value as a
percentage of the full scale reference to be offset from minimum speed.
To calculate the scaled minimum reference, use the following equation:
Example
If the remote speed reference is 0 to 20 mA and the maximum reference required is
19.2 mA, scale as follows:
Example
If the remote speed reference is 0 to 10VDC and the maximum reference required is
9.5 VDC, scale as follows:
Desired Maximum Reference (mA)
Reference Range (20)
x 100 = % gain (mA reference)

Scaling Examples
Example 1: If the remote analog input speed reference is 0 to 20 mA (J6 set on
terminals 2 and 3), and the available analog reference signal is 4 to 20 mA, use
F-12 to obtain minimum speed with minimum analog input as follows:
Example 2: If the remote analog input speed reference is 0 to 10 VDC (J6 set on
terminals 1 and 2), and the available signal is offset 0.4 VDC, use F-12 to obtain
minimum speed with minimum analog input as follows:
