Application 4 –
Pump and Fan
The main application areas of Pump and Fan Control (PFC) are pumping and
ventilation systems where speed regulation of a drive motor and automatic
start/stop of a maximum of three constant speed motors are beneficial. PFC
can easily be connected to a custom made automatic motor alternation system
for controlled changing of drive motors. In this way, all the motors run equal
duty times. This Application macro allows you to choose between manual and
automatic control. A reference (setpoint) value can be given either internally
through a LCD panel or externally through screw terminals. A maximum of
two actual values can be connected through the screw terminals. Actual
values can perform different mathematical operations (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, minimum, maximum, and square root) to get a correct final
actual value for the PI-controller.
The PI-controller can also be bypassed and actual value used as the speed
reference.
