ABOUT THE HMI
Using the HMI, it is possible to command the inverter, view and adjust all of its parameters. The HMI presents the
following functions:

When inverter is powered-up, the initial state of the HMI remains in the start-up mode as long as no faults, alarms,
undervoltages occur or no keys are pressed.
The setting mode is composed of two levels: Level 1 allows browsing the parameters. Level 2 allows the
modification of the parameter selected in level 1. At the end of this level, the modified value is saved when the
key is pressed.
A Figure 4.2 on page 4-1 illustrates the basic browsing of the operating modes of the HMI.

COMMAND AND REFERENCES
The drive of the electric motor connected to the inverter depends on the logical command and on the reference
defined by one of the several possible sources, such as: HMI keys, digital inputs (DIx), analog inputs (AIx), Serial/
USB interface, CANopen/DeviceNet interface, SoftPLC, etc.
The command via HMI is limited to a set of functions pre-defined for the keys according to Chapter 5 HMI on page
5-1, similarly to the digital inputs (DIx), with the functions implemented in parameter P263 to P266. On the other
hand, the command via digital interfaces, such as communication network and SoftPLC, act directly on the inverter
control word by means of control parameters and system markers of the SoftPLC, respectively.
The frequency reference, in turn, is processed inside the frequency inverter in 16 bits with signal (-32768 to +32767)
for a range of -400.0 Hz to +400.0 Hz. On the other hand, the unit factor, range and resolution of the reference
depend on the used source, as described in Section 7.2 SPEED REFERENCE on page 7-6.
The inverter command and reference source is defined by the inverter parameters for two different situations: Local
and Remote, which can be switched dynamically during the inverter operation. Thus, for a certain parameterization,
the inverter has two sets for command and reference, according to block diagram of Figure 7.1 on page 7-2.
Parameter P220 determines the source of commands for Local and Remote situations.
Parameters P223, P224 and P225 define the commands in the Local situation; parameters P226, P227 and P228
define the commands in the Remote situation, and parameter P105 determines the source for selection between
1st and 2nd Ramp. This structure for the selection of the command source is shown in Figure 7.1 on page 7-2.
Parameters P221 and P222 define the frequency reference in the Local and Remote situations. This structure for
the selection of the reference source is shown in Figure 7.2 on page 7-3.

COMMAND AND REFERENCES
✓
NOTE!
When the Coast Stop mode is programmed and the Flying Start function is disabled, only activate
the motor if it is stopped.
✓
NOTE!
This parameter is applied to all the inverter command sources, but it was created aiming at allowing
the command via HMI to be able to disable the motor by inertia instead of deceleration ramp. In this
way, when P229 = 1, Bit 0 of the control word (Ramp Enable) has a function similar to Bit 1 (General
Enable). The same way, the digital input functions such as: Run/Stop, Forward/Reverse Run stop
the motor by inertia in this condition of P229.
The frequency reference is the value applied to the input of the acceleration ramp module (P001) to control the
frequency applied to the inverter output (P002) and consequently the motor shaft speed.
Inside the CPU, the inverter uses signed 16 bit variables to treat the frequency references. Besides, the full scale of
the reference, output frequency and related variables are defined in 400.0 Hz. On the other hand, depending on the
source, this scale is conveniently modified considering the interface with the user by standardization or application
requirements.
In general, the digital references defined by parameters such as: HMI keys (P121), Multispeed (P124 to P131) and
7-6 | CFW300
COMMAND AND REFERENCES
E.P. have a scale from 0.0 to 400.0 Hz with resolution of 0.1 Hz.
In digital inputs (DIx), on the other hand, the reference is defined according to the function predefined for P263 to
P266.
The frequency reference applied to the inverter output via frequency input follows the behavior of the parameters
related to it (P230 to P250).
The full scale of the reference is always by P134, that is, maximum value in AIx is equivalent to the frequency
reference equal to P134.
The digital references Serial/USB, CANopen/DeviceNet, Profibus DP, Ethernet and SoftPLC act on a standardized
scale called “13-bit speed”, where the value 8192 (213 ) is equivalent to the motor rated frequency (P403).
Those references are accessed by parameters P683 and P685.
The digital references, though, have a different scale and the frequency reference parameters with their range from
0.0 to 400.0 Hz, according to previous descriptions, the frequency value on the ramp input (P001) is always limited
by P133 and P134.
For example, the JOG reference is given by P122, this parameter may be set in up to 400.0 Hz, but the value
applied to the ramp input as reference will be limited by P134 when the function is executed.
Table 7.2: Summary of the scales and resolutions of the frequency references
Reference Full Scale Resolution
Analog input (AIx) -P134 to P134 10 bits or (P134/1024)
Communication Networks and SoftPLC -400.0 Hz to 400.0 Hz 13-Bit Speed (P403/8192)
HMI Parameter -400.0 Hz to 400.0 Hz 0.1 Hz
If P120 = Inactive, the inverter will not save the speed reference value when it is disabled. Thus, when the inverter
is enabled again, the speed reference value will become the frequency minimum limit value (P133).
If P120 = Active, the value set in the reference is not lost when the inverter is disabled or powered down.
If P120 = Backup by P121, the reference initial value is fixed by P121 at the enabling or power-up of the inverter.
Besides, the P121 is used as input for the reference backup function.

The minimum and maximum values of parameter setting are limited by P134 and P133, respectively.

MOTOR CONTROL
8 MOTOR CONTROL
The inverter feeds the motor with variable voltage, current and frequency, providing control of the motor speed.
The values applied to the motor follow a control strategy, which depends on the selected type of motor control and
on the inverter parameter settings.
The selection of the proper control type for the application depends on the static and dynamic requirements of torque
and speed of the driven load, that is, the control type is directly connected to the required performance. Additionally,
proper configuration of the selected control mode parameters is essential to reach maximum performance.
The inverter is equipped with three control modes for the three-phase induction motor, that is:
V/f Scalar Control: for basic applications without output speed control.
Quadratic V/f Scalar Control: for applications that reduce motor and inverter losses without regulation of the
output speed.
VVW Control: for applications that need high performance in the control of the output speed.
Section 8.2 CONTROLE ESCALAR V/f on page 8-18 and Section 8.3 CONTROLE VVW on page 8-26, each of
these kinds of control, related parameters and directions regarding the use of each of these modes are described
in details.
This chapter describes the functions common to all inverter control modes V/f and VVW and that interfere in the
drive performance.
8.1.1 Ramps
The inverter ramp functions allow the motor to accelerate or decelerate faster or slower. They are adjusted by
parameters that define the linear acceleration time between zero and the maximum frequency (P134) and the time
for a linear deceleration from the maximum frequency zero.
In the inverter, three ramps with different functions were implemented:
2nd Ramp - it may be activated by the user, according to the drive requirement, by means of the inverter command
word or by a digital input.
emergency ramp - it is used for the inverter internal protection functions, such as: current limitation, DC link
regulation, etc. The Emergency Ramp has priority over the other ramps.
✓
NOTE!
The setting with too short ramp time may cause overcurrent in the output (F070), undervoltage (F021)
or overvoltage (F022) of the DC link.

MOTOR CONTROL
8.1.2 Regulation
The DC link voltage and output current limitation are protection functions of the inverter which act on the ramp
control, aiming at containing the rise of voltage on the DC link and of the output current. In this way, the following
of the reference by the ramp is blocked and the output frequency follows the emergency ramp for a preset safety
value.
When the DC link voltage is too high, the inverter may freeze the deceleration ramp. On the other hand, when
the output current is too high, the inverter may decelerate or freeze the acceleration ramp in order to reduce this
current. Those actions prevent the occurrence of faults F022 and F070, respectively.
Both protections normally occur at different moments of the inverter operation, but in case of occurrence at the
same time, by definition, the DC link limitation has higher priority than the output current limitation.
The voltage limitation on the DC link during braking actuates limiting the braking power and torque, so as to prevent
the shutting down of the inverter for overvoltage (F022). This situation often occurs when a load with high moment 8
of inertia is decelerated or when short deceleration time is programmed.
Use recommended in the drive of loads with high moment of inertia referred to the motor shaft or loads that
require short deceleration ramps.
Actuation: when the DC link voltage reaches the level set in P151, a command is sent to the ramp block to
accelerate the motor.
Use recommended for the drive of loads that require braking torques at constant frequency in the inverter output.
For example, the drive of loads with eccentric shaft as in sucker rod pumps; another application is the handling
of loads with balance like in the translation in overhead cranes.
Another condition that prevents the output voltage from reaching its maximum value is internal losses of the inverter.
Such losses are associated to the dead time of the switching and losses in the components, being aggravated by
the increase of the switching frequency.
8-4 | CFW300
MOTOR CONTROL
Such conditions, variations in the DC Link voltage and internal losses can be compensated with variations in the
modulation index; however, with specific characteristics as presented in each of the options below:
P149 = 0 (Disabled): The DC link compensation is disabled. The DC link voltage oscillations will reflected in the
output voltage.
P149 = 1 (Standard): In this mode, the output voltage will be generated according to the ideal V/f profile,
parameterized in P142, P143, P145 and P146, but not reaching the maximum available voltage at the output
and also not generating distortions in the output voltage.
P149 = 2 (Overmodulation): When selecting this option the output voltage will also be generated according to
the ideal V/f profile, parameterized in P142, P143, P145 and P146, but the maximum available voltage can be
generated. On the other hand, distortions in the output voltage may occur.
P149 = 3 (Extended): This option works similarly to option 2 (overmodulation). However, in the event of a DC
link voltage drop of approximately 20 % of the rated voltage, the function may take two different actions:
1. If the torque demand is low, it reduces the voltage applied to the motor, also reducing the motor current,
allowing to maintain the application, or;
2. If the torque demand is high, it reduces the output frequency until it is possible to generate a voltage according
to the V/f profile.
Both cases have restrictions of use according to the final application, and the user is responsible for validating the
application.
✓
NOTE!
It is recommended to use extended DC link voltage compensation mode (P149 = 3) for quadratic
torque applications (blowers, fans, pumps and compressors).
WARNING! 8
! The use of the DC link voltage compensation options does not compensates for all internal losses of
the inverter, and it is not intended to increase the performance in installations that do not observe the
recommendations in the product user’s manual.

Like in the DC Link voltage regulation, the output current regulation also has two operating modes: “Ramp Holding”
(P150 = 2 or 3) and “Decelerate Ramp” (P150 = 0 or 1). Both actuate limiting the torque and power delivered to the
motor, so as to prevent the shutting down of the inverter by overcurrent (F070). This situation often occurs when a
load with high moment of inertia is accelerated or when short acceleration time is programmed.
Actuation: if the motor current exceeds the value set in P135 during acceleration or deceleration, the frequency
will not be incremented (acceleration) or decremented (deceleration). When the motor current reaches a value
below P135 the motor accelerates or decelerates again. Refer to Figure 8.6 on page 8-8.
Actuation: if the motor current exceeds the value set in P135, a null value is forced for the frequency ramp input
forcing the motor deceleration. When the motor current reaches a value below P135 the motor accelerates again.

NOTE!
Both the function related to P219 and the function controlled by P397 (bit 3) act by reducing the
switching frequency. As the function related to P219 is intended to improve the reading of the inverter
current, that function has priority of action over the function controlled by P397 (bit 3).
The Flying Start function allows driving a motor that is in free running, accelerating it from the rotation in which it is.
The Ride-Through function allows recovering the inverter, with no locking by undervoltage, when there is an instant
drop in the power supply.
Both functions assume the special case in which the motor is running in the same direction and at a frequency close 8
to the frequency reference, thus, by immediately applying the frequency reference to the output and increasing the
output voltage in ramp, the slip and the starting torque are minimized.
Flying Start Function (FS): In order to activate this function, just program P320 in 1 or 2; thus the inverter will
impose a fixed frequency at the start, defined by the frequency reference, and apply the voltage ramp defined in
parameter P331. In this way, the start current is reduced. On the other hand, if the motor is at rest, the frequency
reference and the real frequency of the motor are very different or the direction of rotation is inverted; the result in
such cases may be worse than the conventional start without Flying Start.
The Flying Start function is applied on loads with high inertia or systems that require start with the motor spinning.
Besides, the function may be deactivated dynamically by a digital input P263 to P266 programmed for “24
= Disable Flying Start”. In this way, the user may activate the function in a convenient way according to the
application.
Ride-Through Function (RT): The Ride-Through function will disable the inverter output pulses (IGBT) as soon
as the supply voltage reaches a value below the undervoltage value. A fault due to undervoltage (F021) does not

occur and the DC link voltage will slowly drop until the supply voltage returns. In case it takes the supply voltage
too long to return (over 2 seconds), the inverter may indicate F021 (undervoltage on the DC link). If the supply
voltage returns before, the inverter will enable the pulses again, imposing the frequency reference instantly (like
in the Flying Start function) and making a voltage ramp with time defined by parameter P331. Refer to Figure 8.7
on page 8-10.

8.1.4 DC Braking
The DC Braking allows stopping the motor by applying direct current to it. The current applied at the DC Braking is
proportional to the braking torque and may be set in P302. It is set in percentage (%) of the inverter rated current

! The DC Braking can continue acting even if the motor has already stopped. Be careful with the
thermal dimensioning of the motor for short-period cyclic braking.
This parameter establishes the initial point to apply the DC Braking at the stop when the inverter is disabled by
ramp, according to Figure 8.9 on page 8-11.
✓
NOTE!
A value too high in P302 may cause overcurrent faults on the inverter and even damages to the
connected motor by overcurrent on the windings.
The braking torque that can be obtained through the application of frequency inverters without dynamic braking
resistors varies from 10 % to 35 % of the motor rated torque.
In order to obtain higher braking torques, resistors for dynamic braking are used. In this case the regenerated
8 energy is dissipated on the resistor mounted externally to the inverter.
This type of braking is used in the cases when short deceleration times are wished or when high inertia loads are
driven.
✓
NOTE!
The Dynamic Braking function can only be used if a braking resistor has been connected to the
inverter, and if the parameters related to it have been adjusted properly.

Figure 8.10 on page 8-13 shows an example of typical dynamic braking actuation, where the hypothetical wave
shapes of the voltage on the braking resistor and the DC link voltage can be observed. Thus, when the braking

8.1.7 Fire Mode
The “Fire Mode” function is intended to make the frequency inverter continue to drive the motor even under adverse
conditions, inhibiting most faults generated by the frequency inverter. The “Fire Mode” is activated by driving a digital
input previously set to “Fire Mode” with logic level “0” at the input terminals. When the drive enters the “Fire Mode”,
the alarm “A211” will be generated on the HMI (keypad) and the status of the operation mode will be updated in

NOTE!
When activating the “Fire Mode” function, the user acknowledges that the protection functions of
the frequency inverter are disabled, which may result in damages to the frequency inverter, to the
components connected to it, to the environment in which it is installed and to the people present in
such environment. Therefore, the user takes full liability for the resulting risks. The operation of the
inverter with the “Fire Mode” function enabled voids the warranty of the product. The operation under
such condition is internally registered by the frequency inverter and must be validated by an engineer
and occupational safety professional duly qualified. If the user presses the key, the message will
disappear from the display (A211), but the operation mode will continue to be shown in parameter
P006. It is also possible to indicate this condition in a digital output (DOx) previously programmed for
“Fire Mode”. During the operation in “Fire Mode”, all the stop commands are ignored (even General
Enable). Some Faults (considered critical) that may damage the inverter will not be disabled, but they
can be infinitely reset automatically (define this condition in parameter P582): Overvoltage on the DC

MOTOR CONTROL
8.2 V/F
This is the classical control method for three-phase induction motors, based on a curve that relates output frequency
and voltage. The inverter works as a variable frequency and voltage source, generating a combination of voltage
and frequency according to the configured curve. It is possible to adjust this curve for standard 50 Hz, 60 Hz or
special motors.
According to the block diagram of Figure 8.12 on page 8-19, the frequency reference f* is limited by P133 and
P134 and applied to the input of “V/f Curve” block, where the output voltage amplitude and frequency imposed to
the motor are obtained. For further details on the frequency reference, refer to Section 7.2 SPEED REFERENCE
on page 7-6.
By monitoring the total and active output current, and the DC link voltage, compensators and regulators are
implanted so as to help in the protection and performance of the V/f control. The operation and parameterization
of those blocks are detailed in Section 8.1 COMMON FUNCTIONS on page 8-1.
The advantage of the V/f control is its simplicity and the need of few settings. The start-up is quick and simple
and the factory default, in general, requires little or no modification. In cases whose objective is to reduce losses
on the motor and inverter, the “Quadratic V/f” may be used, where the flow in the motor air-gap is proportional to
the output frequency up to the field weakening point (also defined by P142 and P145). Thus, the result is a torque
capacity as a quadratic function of the frequency. The great advantage of such control is the capacity to save
energy when driving loads with variable resistant torque, due to the reduction of motor losses (especially losses in
the air-gar, magnetic losses).
The V/f or scalar control is recommended for the following cases:
Motor rated current lower than 1/3 of the inverter rated current.
For test purposes, the inverter is turned on without motor or with a small motor with no load.
8 Applications where the load connected to the inverter is not a three-phase induction motor.
Applications that aim at reducing losses on the motor and inverter (Quadratic V/f).

The V/f curve is completely adjustable in four different points as according to Figure 8.13 on page 8-20, although
the factory default set a curve pre-adjusted for motors 50 Hz or 60 Hz, as options for P204. This format, point P0
defines the amplitude applied at 0 Hz, while P2 defines the rated amplitude and frequency and beginning of field
weakening. Intermediate points P1 allow the setting of the curve for a non-linear relationship between torque and
frequency, for instance, in fans where the load torque is quadratic in relation to the frequency. The field weakening
region is determined between P2 and P3 , where the amplitude is maintained in 100 %.

The factory default setting of the frequency inverter defines a linear relation of the torque with the frequency by

The points P0 [P136, 0 Hz], P1 [P143, P146], P2 [P142, P145] and P3 [100 %, P134] can be set so that the voltage
and frequency relation imposed to the output approximates the ideal curve for the load. Therefore, for loads in
which the torque behavior is quadratic in relation to the frequency, such as in centrifugal pumps and fans, the
points of the curve can be set or the Quadratic V/f control mode can be used so as to save energy. This Quadratic

The efficiency of a machine is defined as being the ratio between the output mechanical power and the input
electrical power. Remember that the mechanical power is the product between torque and rotor speed, and that
the input electric power is the sum of the output mechanical power and the motor losses.
In the case of the three-phase induction motor, the optimized efficiency is achieved with ¾ of the rated load. In the
region below this point, the Energy Saving function has its best performance.
The Energy Saving function acts directly on the voltage applied on the inverter output; thus, the flux relationship
delivered to the motor is changed so as to reduce the motor losses and enhance the efficiency, consequently
reducing consumption and noise.

8.3 VVW
The VVW vector control mode (Voltage Vector WEG) uses a control method with a much higher performance than
the V/f control because of the load torque estimation and of the control of the magnetic flux in the air gap, as per
scheme of Figure 8.20 on page 8-27. In this control strategy, losses, efficiency, rated slip and power factor of the
motor are considered in order to improve the control performance.
The main advantage compared to the V/f control is the best frequency regulation with greater torque capacity
at low speeds (frequencies below 5 Hz), allowing a relevant improvement in the drive performance in permanent
duty. Besides, the VVW control has a quick and simple setting and it is suitable for most medium-performance
applications in the control of three-phase induction motor.
By just measuring the output current, the VVW control instantly obtains the motor torque and slip. Thus, the VVW
actuates in the output voltage compensation and slip compensation. Therefore, the VVW controller action replaces
the classical V/f functions in P137 and P138, but with a calculation model much more sophisticated and accurate,
meeting several load conditions or operation points of the application.
In order to achieve a good frequency regulation in permanent duty with a good operation of the VVW control, the
parameter setting in the range P399 to P407, and the stator resistance in P409 are essential for the good operation
of the VVW control. These parameters can be easily obtained on the motor nameplate.

Opposite to the V/f scalar control, the VVW control requires a series of data from the motor nameplate and a self-
tuning for its proper operation. Besides, it is recommended that the driven motor match the inverter, that is, the
motor and inverter power be as close as possible.
Below are described the parameters to configure the VVW vector control setting. This data is easily obtained on
WEG standard motor nameplates, however in older motors or motors made by other manufacturers, the data may
not be readily available.
In those cases, it is recommended first contact the motor manufacturer, measure or calculate the desired parameter.
As a last resort, the user always can make a relationship with Table 8.6 on page 8-29 and use the equivalent or
approximate WEG standard motor parameter.

I/O
A frequency input consists of a fast digital input able to convert the frequency of the pulses in the input into a
proportional signal with 15-bit resolution. After the conversion, this signal is used as an analog signal for frequency
reference, process variable, for example.
According to the block diagram of Figure 9.5 on page 9-10, the signal in frequency is converted into a digital
quantity in 15 bits by means of the block “Calc. Hz / %”, where parameters P248 and P250 define the input signal
frequency band, while parameter P022 shows the frequency of the pulses in Hz.

Digital input DIx is pre-defined for frequency input via parameter P246, with operating capacity in a wide band from
1 to 3000 Hz.
Parameters P248 and P250 determine the operation range of the frequency input (FI), while parameters P249 and
P247 determine the offset and gain, respectively, according to with the equation:
9 (( ) )
FI (Hz) - P248
FI = x (100 %) + P249 x P247
P250 - P248
For example, FI = 2000 Hz, P248 = 1000 Hz, P250 = 3000 Hz, P249 = -70.0 % and P247 = 1.000, thus:
(( ) )
2000 - 1000
FI = x (100 %) - 70 % x 1.000 = -20.0 %
3000 - 1000
The value FI = -20.0 % means that the motor will run in the opposite direction with a reference in module equal
20.0 % of P134, with the function of the FI signal for “Frequency Reference” (P221 = 4).
When P246 = 3, the digital input DI3 is defined for frequency input, regardless the value of P265, with operating
capacity in the band from 0 to 3000 Hz in 10 Vpp.
The time constant of the digital filter for the frequency input is defined by means of parameter P245.

Description:
By means of this parameter it is possible to check if the frequency inverter is receiving any valid command from
the infrared control. The use of the remote control depends on the logic implanted on the LADDER of the WPS
software via system markers (bits). For further details, refer to the help menu of the WPS software.

FAULTS AND ALARMS
The problem detection structure in the inverter is based on the fault and alarm indication.
In case of fault, the locking the IGBTs and motor stop by inertia will occur.
The alarm works as a warning for the user of critical operating conditions and that may cause a fault if the situation
is not corrected.
The inverter is able to store a set of data on the last three faults occurred, such as: fault number, current (P003),
DC link voltage (P004), output frequency (P005), power module temperature (P030).

10.3 PROTECTIONS
This section contains information on the internal protections of the inverters and the motors. Refer to the user’s
manual for further information.
10.3.1 Inverter
The inverter has several levels of internal protection. Among them, we can point out:
The DC link voltage is constantly compared to the maximum and minimum values according to the inverter power
supply, as shown in Table 10.1 on page 10-3.
The temperature of the power module is read via internal temperature sensor and displayed in parameter P030
(more information on Chapter 11 READ on page 11-1. The temperature controlled by a fan according to parameter
P352.
10.3.2 Motor
The inverter has a function to protect the motor from overtemperature by indicating fault F078. The motor must
have a triple PTC type temperature sensor. The sensor can be read through the analog inputs.
For the reading of the PTC, it is necessary to configure it for current input and select the option “4 = PTC” in P231
or P236. Connect the PTC between the supply +10 Vdc and the analog input.
CFW300 | 10-3
FAULTS AND ALARMS
The analog input reads the PTC resistance and compares it to the limits for the fault. When those values are
exceeded, fault F078 is indicated. As shown in Table 10.3 on page 10-4.
WARNING!
! The PTC must have reinforced insulation of the live parts of the motor and other installations.
✓
NOTE!
For this function to work properly, it is important to keep the gain(s) and offset(s) of the analog inputs
at the factory setting values.
Figure 10.1 on page 10-4 shows the connection of the PTC to the inverter terminals via analog input.

Description:
It indicates the present motor overload percentage or overload intergrator level. When this parameter reaches 6.3
% the inverter will indicate the motor overload alarm (A046). Or when this parameter reaches 100.0 % the “Motor
Overload” fault (F072) will occur (F072).
Figure 10.2 on page 10-5 shows the actuation time of the overload as a function of the output current (P003)
normalized in relation to the overload current (P156, P157 or P158).
For example, for a constant ratio with 150 % of overload, Fault F072 occurs in 60 seconds. On the other hand, for
output current values below P156, P157 or P158 according to the output frequency, fault F0072 does not occur.
For ratio values above 150 % the fault actuation time is below 60 s.

APPLICATIONS
14 APPLICATIONS
Using the SoftPLC function of the inverter, it is possible to develop an application (or functionality) in ladder language
and include it in the inverter software.
Parameter P903 allows selecting the application and uploading it to the SoftPLC execution area of the inverter.
The frequency inverter has the following application already implanted:
PID Controller.
The PID controller application can be used to control a process in closed loop. This application adds a proportional,
integral and derivative controller superimposed to the regular speed control of the frequency inverter having selection
options:
Basically, the PID controller application compares the control setpoint to the process variable and controls the
motor speed to try to eliminate any errors so as to keep the process variable equal to the control setpoint required
by the user. The setting of the gains P, I and D determine the speed at which the inverter will respond to eliminate
that error. See the PID controller block diagram below.

APPLICATIONS
An electric pump used in a water pumping system in which the pressure must be controlled at the pump output pipe.
A pressure transducer is installed on the pipe and provides an analog feedback signal to the inverter proportional to
the water pressure. That signal is called process variable and can be viewed in parameter P916. A control setpoint
is programmed in the inverter via HMI (P911), or via analog input (AI1 or AI2), or via electronic potentiometer
function (DI3 and DI4), or via logical combination of digital inputs DI3 and DI4 according to the control setpoint
source defined in P920. The control setpoint is the water pressure which the pump must produce regardless of
the demand variations in the pump output at any moment.
In order to enable the operation of the PID controller application, it is necessary to program the speed reference
for the SoftPLC function, that is, parameter P221 or P222 in 12 = SoftPLC, and select the PID controller control
action in P928 for direct action (=1) or reverse action (=2), thus enabling the PID operation. Otherwise, the alarm
message “A790: Speed reference source (P221 or P222) not programmed for the SoftPLC (12)” will be generated.
The functionalities that can be programmed in the analog and digital inputs and outputs are shown in the Table
14.1 on page 14-2.

The control setpoint source of the PID controller is defined in parameter P920, and it may be: via parameter P911,
which can be changed via HMI (or communication networks); via analog input AI1 or AI2, being parameter P231
(AI1) or P236 (AI2) previously programmed to 16 = Control Setpoint so that it is enabled for operation; via Electronic
Potentiometer (EP) through increase and decrease commands in digital inputs DI3 and DI4, being parameter P265
(DI3) previously programmed to 51 = Increase Setpoint Command (EP) and P266 (DI4) to 52 = Decrease Setpoint
Command (EP); via logical combination of digital inputs, with the selection of up to four control setpoints, being
parameter P265 (DI3) previously programmed to 53 = 1st DI for Control Setpoint and P266 (DI4) to 54 = 2nd DI for
Control Setpoint.
The value of the present control setpoint of the PID controller (P911) can be indicated via analog output AO1 or
AO2, being necessary to program P251 (AO1) or P254 (AO2) to 29 = Control Setpoint. The variable full scale is
100.0 % and corresponds to 10 V or 20 mA.
The source of the PID controller process variable is defined in parameter P921, and it can be via analog input AI1
and/or AI2, being then parameter P231 (AI1) and/or P236 (AI2) previously programmed to 17 = Process Variable.
The value of the PID controller process variable (P916) can be indicated via analog output AO1 or AO2, being
necessary to program P251 (AO1) or P254 (AO2) to 30 = Process Variable. The variable full scale is 100.0 % and
corresponds to 10 V or 20 mA.
The PID controller operation mode is defined in parameter P929, which can be manual, always automatic or via a
Manual/Automatic command through digital input DI2, being then parameter P264 (DI2) previously programmed
to 50 = Man/Auto PID Selection. Digital input DI2 programmed to PID in Manual/Automatic is active while it is at
logical level “1”, indicating automatic command, and inactive at logical level “0”, indicating manual command.
14
Digital outputs DO1 to DO4 can be programmed to indicated alarm/fault conditions for low level or high level of the
process variable (PV), seeing that one of the respective parameters (P275 to P278) must be programmed to 46 =
Process Variable Low Level (equivalent to PV<PVy) or 47 = Process Variable High Level (equivalent to PV>PVx).

APPLICATIONS
14.1.1 Start-Up
See below the required steps to put the PID controller application into operation.
✓
NOTE!
For the PID controller application to work properly, it essential to check if the inverter is configured
properly to drive the motor at the desired speed. In order to do so, check the following settings:
Acceleration and deceleration ramps (P100 to P101).
Current limit (P135) for V/f and VVW control modes.
Torque boost (P136 and P137) and slip compensation (P138) if in the V/f control mode.
Configuring the PID Controller Application The PID controller application will be configured according to the
example shown below, where:
Digital input DI1 will be used for the Run/Stop command in local mode.
The PID controller process variable (PV) will be connected to analog input AI1 in the scale of 4-20 mA, where 4
mA is equal to 0 bar and 20 mA is equal to 4.0 bar.
The PID controller control setpoint (SP) will be via HMI (keys).

APPLICATIONS
Parameters P931, P932, P933 and P934 must be set according to the response of the process to be controlled.
See below suggestions for initial values of sampling time and gain setting for the PID controller according to the
process to be controlled.
14-4 | CFW300
APPLICATIONS
Putting into Operation Check the state of the PID controller application in parameter P900. Value equal to 4
indicates the application is already in operation. Value equal to 3 indicates the application is stopped; therefore, it
is necessary to change the command value for the SoftPLC in parameter P901 to 1 (execute application). Value
different from 3 or 4 indicates the application cannot go into operation. For further details, refer to the inverter
SoftPLC manual.
1. Manual Operation (DI2 open): keeping DI2 open (Manual), check the indication of the process variable on the
HMI (P916) based on an external measurement of the sensor signal (transducer) in analog input AI1.
Then, changes the manual setpoint value of the PID controller (P918) until reaching the desired process
variable value. Check if the control setpoint value (P911) is set to this value, and then put the PID controller
into the automatic mode.
✓
NOTE!
The PID controller only begins the speed regulation when the motor reaches the minimum speed
programmed in P133, as it was configured to operate from 0.0 to 100.0 %, where 0.0 %
corresponds to the minimum speed programmed in P133, and 100.0 % corresponds to the
maximum speed programmed in P134.
2. Automatic Operation (DI2 closed): close DI2 and make the dynamic adjustment of the PID controller, that
is, of the proportional (P931), integral (P932) and derivative (P933) gains, checking if the regulation is being
done correctly. In order to do so, just compare the control setpoint and the process variable and check if the
values are close. Also check how fast the motor responds to the oscillations of the process variable.
It is important to point out that the setting of the PID controller gains is a step that requires some attempt
and error procedure to reach the desired response time. If the system responds quickly and oscillates close
to the control setpoint, then the proportional gain is too high. If the system responds slowly and it takes a
long time to reach the control setpoint, the proportional gain is too low and must be increased. In case the
process variable does not reach the required value (control setpoint), the integral gain must be set then.
The PID controller implemented on the inverter is academic. See below the equations that characterize the
Academic PID controller, which is the base of this function algorithm.
The transfer function in the frequency domain of the Academic PID controller is:
[ ]
1
y(s) = Kp x e(s) x 1 + + sTd
sTi
Replacing the integrator by a sum and the derivative by the incremental quotient, we obtain the approximation for
the discrete (recursive) transfer equation presented below:
[ ]
y(k) = i(k − 1) + Kp (1 + Ki Ta + Kd /Ta )e(k) − (Kd /T a)E(k − 1) x 10
Where:
y(k): present output of the PID controller; it may vary from 0.0 to 100.0 %.
i(k-1): integral value in the previous state of the PID controller.
Kp : Proportional gain = P931.
Ki : Integral gain = P932 = [1 / Ti (s)].
Kd : Differential gain = P933 = [Td (s)].
Ta : sampling period of the PID controller = P934.
e(k): present error, being [SP(k) - PV(k)] for direct action, and [PV(k)] - SP(k)] for reverse action.
e(k-1): previous error, being [SP(k-1) - PV(k-1)] for direct action, and [PV(k-1)] - SP(k-1)] for reverse action.
SP: present control setpoint of the PID controller.
PV: process variable of the PID controller, read through the analog inputs (AI1 and AI2).

When the control setpoint is via Electronic Potentiometer (EP) function (P920 = 3), the control setpoint of the PID
controller is adjusted by means of digital inputs DI3 and DI4, being DI3 to increase it and DI4 to decrease it.
Figure 14.3 on page 14-9 shows the operation of the EP function: when digital input DI3 is activated, the control
setpoint value (P911) is incremented, and when digital input DI4 is activated, the control setpoint value (P911) is
decremented. In case both digital inputs are activated at the same time, the value remains the same.

When enabling the PID controller, that is, changing the content of parameter P928 from 0 to 1 or
2 (with application running), the following parameters related to the PID controller application will be
loaded: P100, P101, P133, P134, P205, P207, P208, P209, P210, P213, P220, P221, P224, P231,

✓
NOTE!
The control action of the PID controller must be selected for direct mode when it is necessary to
increase the PID controller output in order to increase the process variable value. E.g.: Pump driven
by an inverter and filling a tank. For the level of the tank (process variable) to increase, it is necessary
that the flow increase, which is accomplished by increasing the speed of the motor.
The control action of the PID controller must be selected for reverse mode when it is necessary to
decrease the PID controller output in order to increase the process variable value. E.g.: Fan driven by
inverter cooling a refrigeration tower. When an increase in temperature is desired (process variable),
it is necessary to reduce the ventilation by reducing the motor speed.

APPLICATIONS
✓
NOTE!
The change from an operation mode to another with the motor running may cause disturbances
on the system control. That can be optimized according to the automatic adjustment mode of the
PID controller setpoint defined in parameter P930 together with the bumpless transfer characteristic
from the manual mode to the automatic mode of the PID block of the SoftPLC function. Bumpless
transfer is merely making the transfer from the manual mode to the automatic mode without causing
variation in the PID controller output. In other words, when the transition from the manual mode to the
automatic mode occurs, the PID controller output value in manual mode is used to start the integral
part of the PID controller in automatic mode. That ensures that the output will start from this value.
✓
NOTE!
The adjustment of the control setpoint in automatic mode is only valid when the control setpoint
14
source is HMI or communication networks (P920 = 0) or via the Electronic Potentiometer Function
(P920 = 3). For other control setpoint sources, the automatic adjustment is not executed.

Table 14.3 on page 14-4 suggests setting values for the sampling time according to the process to

This parameter group allows the user to set the operation conditions of the sleep mode.
Sleep Mode is a controlled system state in which the control demand is zero or almost zero, and, at this moment,
the motor driven by the frequency inverter may be switched off. That prevents the motor from running at a low
speed, doing little or nothing for the controlled system. Even if the motor is apparently OFF, the process variable
continues to be monitored so that, when necessary, the controlled system can start the motor again according to
the conditions of the wake up mode.
Wake Up Mode switches on the motor when the difference between the control process variable and the control
setpoint is greater than a certain programmed value.
14
✓
NOTE!
The sleep mode only actuates if the PID controller is enabled and in the automatic mode.
14-14 | CFW300
APPLICATIONS
DANGER!
! When the inverter is in the sleep mode, the motor may spin at any moment because of the process
conditions. If you wish to handle the motor or execute any kind of maintenance, power down the
inverter.
✓
NOTE!
This parameter will be viewed according to the selection of the parameters for the SoftPLC engineering
unit (P510 and P511).
✓
NOTE!
If, in the energization of the inverter, the “Run/Stop” command is active and the condition to Wake
Up is active, the time programmed in P937 will not be waited for, and thus the motor will be started
instantly.
✓
NOTE!
Setting it to “0.0 Hz” disables the sleep mode; that means the motor will be switched on or off
according to the state of the “Run/Stop” command.

P939 - Time to activate de Sleep Mode
Description:
This parameter defines the time the motor speed should remain below the value set in P938 for the motor to be
switched off and go into the sleep mode.

NOTE!
The alarm message “A750: Sleep Mode Active” will be shown on the HMI of the frequency inverter
warning that the motor is in the sleep mode.

direct mode and configured for the Sleep Mode.
PROCESS VARIABLE
Figure 14.4: Operation of the PID controller with the sleep mode enabled
1. The Run/Stop command via digital input DI1 enables the starting of the motor. As the wake up condition was
not detected, it remains in sleep mode, and the motor remains stopped.
2. The process variable starts to decrease and becomes smaller than the deviation of the process variable
programmed to wake up (P936); at this moment, the time count to wake up (P937) begins.
3. The process variable remains smaller than the process variable deviation to wake up (P936), and the time to
wake up (P937) elapses; at this moment, the command to start the motor and control the system with its
speed variation is executed.
4. The inverter accelerates the motor up to the minimum speed (P133). After that, the PID controller is enabled
and starts controlling the motor speed.
5. Then it is possible to control the process variable so that it reaches the control setpoint required by the user.
To that end, the PID controller output is incremented, making the motor speed increase until reaching the
control stabilization.
14 6. The value of the process variable remains above the required control setpoint due to a decrease in demand,
and the motor speed starts slowing down.
7. The value of the motor speed falls below the value to sleep (P938); the time count to activate the sleep mode
(P939) begins.

8. The motor speed remains below the value to sleep (P938), and the time to activate the sleep mode (P939)
