YASKAWA TM.iQp.07 iQpump Controller Programming Manual 9
Introduction
This Section describes the applicability of this manual.
The iQpump (P7U) is a Pulse Width Modulated drive for 3-Phase AC induction motors. This type of drive is also known as an
Adjustable Frequency Drive, Variable Frequency Drive, AC Drive, AFD, ASD, VFD, and Inverter.
The iQpump (P7U) is a variable torque AC drive, designed specifically for Simplex and Multiplex pumping applications. The
pump applications include Booster Systems, Submersible Deep Well, Fluid Storage Tanks, Metering Pumps, Commercial and
Residential Irrigation Systems.
The iQpump (P7U) sets a new benchmark for size, cost, performance, ease-of-use benefits, comprehensive pump, motor
protection features, and quality. The iQpump includes numerous built-in features such as H/O/A Operation, Selectable Pump
Control Engineering Units, PI Control, Pump Basic Control, Pump Protection, Multi-Pump Control (Lead/Lag), and Pump
Messaging Terminology.
The LCD keypad/operator is equipped with Hand/Off/Auto functions, copy feature, and 5 lines of display with 16 characters
per line.
Built-in PI and pump-specific functions and parameters allow the operator to setup specific control values for a wide range of
applications. The iQpump (P7U) will optimize the pump performance by automatically adjusting the pump controller based on
operating conditions of the pump, such as process variable changes and pump protection requirements. The P Group
programming parameters are dedicated for pumping applications and help facilitate setup.
The iQpump (P7U) drive offers energy savings by controlling the flow rate and the number of operating pumps on the system.
The iQpump (P7U) can be configured using the most popular system control configurations including Simplex, Duplex, and
Triplex pumps systems. The iQpump is the master controller with the ability to add additional pumps on-line by controlling
the digital I/O to each individual motor starter.
The iQpump (P7U) has an optional feature to replace the motors starters with additional drives for a more precise pump
control system.
This manual is applicable to the iQpump (P7U) Drives defined by models CIMR-P7U - 107.
