by a frequency converter or connected to a contactor or a
soft starter.
Additional frequency converters in the system (follower
drives) do not need any Cascade Controller option card.
They are operated in open loop mode and receive their
speed reference from the master drive. Pumps connected
to follower drives are referred to as variable speed pumps.
Pumps connected to mains through a contactor or
through a soft starter are referred to as fixed speed
pumps.
Each pump, variable speed or fixed speed, is controlled by
a relay in the master drive.
The Cascade Controller options can control a mix of
variable speed and fixed speed pumps.
Other resources are available to understand advanced
functions and programming.
