The following parameters are relevant for the Speed Control:
Parameter
Description of function
Par. 7-00
Speed PID Feedback
Source
Select from which input the speed PID should get its feedback.
Par. 7-02
Speed PID Proportional
Gain
The higher the value, the quicker the control. However, too high value may lead to oscillations.
Par. 7-03
Speed PID Integral Time
Eliminates steady state speed error. Lower value means quick reaction. However, too high value may lead to
oscillations.
Par. 7-04
Speed PID Differentiation
Time
Provides a gain proportional to the rate of change of the feedback. A setting of zero disables the differentiator.
Par. 7-05
Speed PID Diff. Gain Limit
If there are quick changes in reference or feedback in a given application - which means that the error changes
swiftly - the differentiator may soon become too dominant. This is because it reacts to changes in the error.
The quicker the error changes, the stronger the differentiator gain is. The differentiator gain can thus be limited
to allow setting of the reasonable differentiation time for slow changes and a suitably quick gain for quick
changes.
Par. 7-06
Speed PID Lowpass Filter
Time
A low-pass filter that dampens oscillations on the feedback signal and improves steady state performance.
However, a filter time that is too long will deteriorate the dynamic performance of the speed PID control.
Practical settings of 7-06 taken from the number of pulses per revolution on from encoder (PPR):

Below is an example of how to program the speed control:
In this case, speed PID control is used to maintain a constant motor speed regardless of the changing load on the motor.
The required motor speed is set via a potentiometer connected to terminal 53. The speed range is 0–1500 RPM, which corresponds to 0–10 V over the
potentiometer.
Starting and stopping is controlled by a switch connected to terminal 18.
The Speed PID monitors the actual RPM of the motor by using a 24V (HTL) incremental encoder as feedback. The feedback sensor is an encoder (1024
pulses per revolution) connected to terminals 32 and 33.
