Two 4 - 20 mA feedback transmitters connection:

When two feedback signals are used, the VLT requires

that they both be connected to its analog voltage

inputs, terminals 53 and 54. Transmitters that produce

a current signal can be used by adding two resistors.

If the transmitter is capable of producing 10V at 20

mA, the value of the resistor to use is:

The input scaling of the VLT analog inputs in this

case would have to be 2 - 10 Volt.

Two feedback signals and two setpoints:

Similar to two feedback signals and one setpoint, the

need for two feedback signals with two setpoints is

frequently encountered. Whenever two critical zones

do not have the same setpoint value, two feedback

with two setpoint control is required. Many pumping

systems require the monitoring and control of two

loads that differ in size and pressure drop. Or this

can be effective when controlling different temperature

zones in cooling or heating applications.

To enable this setup, the feedback function in

parameter 417,

Feedback Function

, is selected. When

selecting

2-zone Minimum

in parameter 417, the drive

will regulate the system so the feedbacks are equal to

or greater than their associated setpoints. If

2-zone

Maximum

is selected, the feedbacks will be equal

to or less than their associated setpoints.

Feedback 1 is associated with Setpoint 1 and

Feedback 2 is associated with Setpoint 2. The two

independent groupings are continuously monitored

to satisfy both zones requirements.

Transmitter connection to the VLT:

The transmitters are connected to the VLT in the

same way as shown above with 1 setpoint and 2

feedbacks. The feedback connected to terminal 53

is assigned to setpoint 1 and the one connected to

terminal 54 to setpoint 2. Both transmitters must

have the same output signal and range.

2 setpoint controls:
