Break-away torque

VLT

The efficiency of the adjustable frequency drive is defined as the ratio between the power output

and the power input.

Start-disable command

A stop command belonging to the group 1 control commands - see this group.

Stop command

See Control commands.

References:

Analog Reference

A signal transmitted to the analog inputs 53 or 54 can be voltage or current.

Bus Reference

A signal transmitted to the serial communication port (FC port).

Preset Reference

A defined preset reference to be set from -100% to +100% of the reference range. Selection of

eight preset references via the digital terminals.

Pulse Reference

A pulse frequency signal transmitted to the digital inputs (terminal 29 or 33).

Ref

MAX

Determines the relationship between the reference input at 100% full scale value (typically 10 V,

20 mA) and the resulting reference. The maximum reference value set in par. 3-03.

Ref

MIN

Determines the relationship between the reference input at 0% value (typically 0 V, 0 mA, 4 mA)

and the resulting reference. The minimum reference value set in par. 3-02.

Miscellaneous:

Analog Inputs

The analog inputs are used for controlling various functions of the adjustable frequency drive.

VLT

HVAC Drive Design Guide 1. How to Read this Design Guide

There are two types of analog inputs:

Current input, 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA

Voltage input, 0-10 V DC.

Analog Outputs

The analog outputs can supply a signal of 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, or a digital signal.

Automatic Motor Adaptation, AMA

AMA algorithm determines the electrical parameters for the connected motor at standstill.

Brake Resistor

The brake resistor is a module capable of absorbing the braking energy generated in regenerative

braking. This regenerative braking energy increases the intermediate circuit voltage, while a brake

chopper ensures that the energy is transmitted to the brake resistor.

CT Characteristics

Constant torque characteristics used for screw and scroll refrigeration compressors.

Digital Inputs

The digital inputs can be used for controlling various functions of the adjustable frequency drive.

Digital Outputs

The drive features two solid state outputs that can supply a 24 V DC (max. 40 mA) signal.

DSP

Digital Signal Processor.

Relay Outputs:

The adjustable frequency drive features two programmable relay outputs.

ETR

Electronic Thermal Relay is a thermal load calculation based on present load and time. Its purpose

is to estimate the motor temperature.

GLCP:

Graphical Local Control Panel (LCP102)

Initializing

If initializing is carried out (par. 14-22), the programmable parameters of the adjustable frequency

drive return to their default settings.

Intermittent Duty Cycle

An intermittent duty rating refers to a sequence of duty cycles. Each cycle consists of an on-load

and an off-load period. The operation can be either a periodic or non-periodic duty.
