FR-F 740 EC/E1
Extended PID control
The FR-F 740 series supports extended PID
control. This feature makes it possible to
connect the process status signal to the fre
-
quency inverter as a voltage signal
(0–10 V DC) or a current signal
(0/4–20 mA DC) and then use the analog
input calibration function of the inverter to
compensate minor controller-related fluc
-
tuations.
In addition to this the frequency inverter
can also control up to four motors succes
-
sively. This function is programmable; for
example, you can program it so that only
one motor is frequency-controlled and the
others are switched on and off under direct
mains power as required, or you can alter
-
nate between direct mains power and
frequency control for all four motors.
The graph on the right illustrates this multi-
motor switching function with a typical ex
-
ample.
When implementing an application like
this you must plan the necessary number
of magnetic power contactors and the re-
quired number of output signal terminals
on the inverter. Care must also be taken to
ensure that the mains power is never swit-
ched to the inverter output.

Intelligent Motor Control Functions
Flexible 5-point V /f curve
The integrated flexible 5-point V/f curve
enables you to match the torque curve
perfectly to the characteristics of your
machine.
Together, the optimum excitation control
feature and the 5-point V/f curve achieve
significantly increased power savings.
Automatic restart after instantane
-
ous power failures
In pump and fan applications normal ope

ration can be continued automatically af
-
ter brief power failures. The system simply
reactivates the coasting motor and auto
-
matically accelerates it back up to its
setpoint speed.
The graphic on the right shows how the
frequency inverter can respond to a brief
power outage. Instead of coasting down
completely and stopping, the motor is au

tomatically “caught” by the frequency in

verter and re-accelerated back up to its
previous speed.
