When to connect and/or add motors:
•
The feedback value is not in the bandwidth area.
•
The regulating motor operates at a close to maximum frequency (-2 Hz).
•
The conditions above are true for longer than the bandwidth delay.
•
There are more motors available
When to disconnect and/or remove motors:
•
The feedback value is not in the bandwidth area.
•
The regulating motor operates at a close to minimum frequency (+2 Hz).
•
The conditions above are true for longer than the bandwidth delay.
•
There are more motors that operate than the regulating one.
P3.15.1 NUMBER OF MOTORS (ID 1001)
Use this parameter to set the total number of motors/pumps used with the Multi-Pump
system.
P3.15.2 INTERLOCK FUNCTION (ID 1032)
Use this parameter to enable or disable the interlocks.
The interlocks tell the Multi-pump system that a motor is not available. This can occur when
the motor is removed from the system for maintenance or bypassed for manual control.
To use the interlocks, enable the parameter P3.15.2. Make a selection of the status for each
motor with a digital input (the parameters from P3.5.1.34 to P3.5.1.39). If the value of the
input is CLOSED, that is, active, the motor is available for the Multi-pump system. If not, the
Multi-pump logic will not connect it.

A. Starting order of motors
The sequence of the motors is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
If you remove the interlock of Motor 3, that is, you set the value of P3.5.1.36 is set to OPEN,
the sequence changes to 1, 2, 4, 5.
