6-47
1 PI-CONT GAIN
This parameter defines the gain of the PI-Controller included in the
Application macros of the ACH 500. Setting range is 3 – 800%. If you select
100%, a 10% change in error value causes controller output to change by 1.5
Hz.
If the parameter value is set to 3.0%, the PI-Controller operates as an
I-Controller.
Table 6-24 lists a few examples of gain settings, and the resulting output
frequency change to a 10% change in error and a 50% change in error.

2 PI-CONT I-TIME
If the parameter value is set to 320.00s, the PI-Controller operates as a
P-Controller. Time range is 0.02s – 320.00s, 0.01s step.
Figure 6-20 shows PI-Controller Gain, I-Time, and Error Value.
