Lead/Lag - Follow Lead
Control Mode for multiple drives where the Main drive is PI controlled all running Lag (Aux) drives/motors operate
at the same PID output frequency as the Main drive. During staging/de-staging, a shift of the Main PI controlled
drive occurs. With actual feedback wired to Drive 1 only, Drives 2 and 3 receive the feedback signal through Modbus
communications. Note that the Lead (+) drive (controlling communications) does not change, only the Main PI
controlled drive changes.
The following figure shows the basic operating sequence for Follow Lead operation for Drives 1, 2 and 3. In this
case the alternating sequence AP1-49 (ALT Sequence) is set to FILO (First In Last Out) and the run priority AP1-
45 (Curr. Prty 1) is 0321. Run priority means that Drive 1 is the first priority and Drives 2 and 3 are 2
nd
and 3rd
priority. With FILO, the motor starting order is Motor 1 (M1) -> Motor 2 (M2) -> Motor 3 (M3). Motor stopping order
is Motor 3 (M3) -> Motor 2 (M2) -> Motor 1 (M1).
9.1
Follow Lead - Conditions for Staging Lag Drives
1.
Feedback is below the setpoint PID-11 (PID Ref 2 Set) and below the deviation amount AP1-50 (Stage
Pres. Dv).
2.
Output Frequency of the Main Drive reached stage frequency AP1-61 (Stage Freq 1).
3.
The stage delay time AP1-53 (Stage DT) has expired.
Follow Lead - FIFO
9.2
Follow Lead - Staging Details
With the start of Drive 1 which is the Lead (+) and the Main drive, the speed ramps up. If the three staging conditions
are met, (feedback below setpoint, operating frequency reaches staging frequency and the delay time has expired),
Drive 2 (M2) starts
and now becomes the Main PI controlled drive. Drive 1 (M1) becomes the Lag (Aux) drive
and follows the output of Drive 2. There is a shift in the Main PI controlled drive from Drive 1 to Drive 2.
If
feedback still remains below the setpoint, Lag Drive 3 (M3) will start
and now
Drive 3 becomes the Main PI
controlled drive.
There is a shift in the Main PI controlled drive from Drive 2 to Drive 3. Drive 2 becomes
another Lag (Aux) drive,
the 2
nd
Lag drive in operation. Lag Drives 1 and 2 will still follow the Main PI controlled
Drive output, which is now Drive 3 (M3).
