12.3 FREQUENCY INPUT
A frequency input consists of a fast digital input able to convert the frequency of the pulses in the input into a
proportional signal with 10-bit resolution. After the conversion, this signal is used as an analog signal for speed
reference, process variable, use of SoftPLC, etc.
According to the block diagram of Figure 12.4: Block diagram of frequency input – FI (DI2) on page 12-10 , the signal in
frequency is converted into a digital quantity in 10 bits by means of the block “calc. Hz%”, where parameters P0248
and P0250 define the input signal frequency band, while parameter P0022 shows the frequency of the pulses in
Hz. From this conversion step, the signal in frequency receives a treatment similar to that of a regular analog input;
compare to
Figure 12.2: Block diagram of the analog inputs – Aix on page 12-5 .
NOTE!
The frequency input signal at DI2 must be NPN regardless the setting in P0271 and it must not
exceed the limit of 20 KHz.

Digital input DI2 is pre-defined for frequency input with operating capacity in a wide band from 10 to 20.000 Hz.
The frequency input filter is the same as the one used for input AI3, that is, parameter P0245.
