Examples of speed controller settings

Examples of speed controller settings for vector control with encoders
A number of examples of speed controller settings with vector control without encoders
(p1300 = 20) are provided below. These should not be considered to be generally valid and
must be checked in terms of the control response required.
● Fans (large centrifugal masses) and pumps
● Stone mills, separators (large centrifugal masses)
● Kneader drives

Kp (p1470) = 2 ... 10
Tn (p1472) = 250 ... 500 ms
The Kp = 2 and Tn = 500 ms settings result in asymptotic approximation of the actual
speed to the setpoint speed after a setpoint step change. During many simple control
procedures, this is satisfactory for pumps and fans.
Kp (p1470) = 12 ... 20
Tn (p1472) = 500 ... 1000 ms
Kp (p1470) = 10
Tn (p1472) = 200 ... 400 ms
Note
We recommend checking the effective speed control gain (r1468) during operation. If this
value changes during operation, Kp adaptation is being used (p1400.5 = 1). Kp
adaptation can, if necessary, be deactivated or its behavior changed.
Kp (p1460) = 10 ... 15
Tn (p1462) = 200 ... 400 ms (values <= 200 ms are useful for positioning tasks in order to
avoid overshooting the limit position.)
Actual value smoothing (p1442) = 4 ... 10 ms
Kp (p1460) = 15 ... 22
Tn (p1462) = 500 ... 1000 ms
Actual value smoothing (p1442) = 50 ms
