Speed compensation can be restricted to forward or reverse rotating direction. Speed
compensation is supported in both vector and scalar motor control.

Process PID control
There is a built-in process PID controller in the drive. The controller can be used to
control process such as pressure or flow in the pipe or fluid level in the container.
In process PID control, a process reference (setpoint) is connected to the drive
instead of a speed reference. An actual value (process feedback) is also brought
back to the drive. The process PID control adjusts the drive speed in order to keep
the measured process quantity (actual value) at the desired level (setpoint). This
means that user does not need to set a frequency/speed/torque reference to the drive
but the drive adjust its operation according to the process PID.
The simplified block diagram below illustrates the process PID control.
The drive contains two complete sets of process PID controller settings that can be
alternated whenever necessary; see parameter
.
