For inverse control; modification of the setpoint and
feedback signal is required.
Example:
A transmitter has a 0-15 foot span equal to 0-20mA. The
PID set-point must be set at 12 feet for inverse control.
• Enter 20-0 mA in parameter 413. The normal signal in
figure A is converted to an inverse signal as shown in
figure B.
• Calculate the set point for inverse control.
Setpoint = 100 – (4/5 x 100) = 20%
It can be seen in figure C how the set point is calculated.
• If the internal set-point is used, ensure that parameter
412 (voltage input) is set to no operation.
• The values in parameter 115 & 116 must be reversed.
The display at min. feedback in parameter 115 becomes
display at max. feedback and parameter 116 becomes
display at min. feedback.
• Connections and set-up are identical to normal control.
External Manual Control Over-ride
For the VLT Series 3500 special parameters are available
for external manual over-ride. Refer to parameter group 4
of this instruction manual.
