Drive Enable

Drive Enable activates the motor drive based on the
Ramped Reference (MP-46) and the feedback. The
Ramped Reference is the calculated setpoint that is output
from the Acceleration/Deceleration routine.
See Appendix C; CP-74.

Engineering Units (E.U.)

Master Engineering Units are the units of measure that
your system operates at, such as, RPMs, gallons per hour,
feet per minute. Follower Engineering Units is the number
that will represent the setpoint when the Lead and Follower
are operating at maximum capacity. See Appendix C; CP-
20 and CP-21.

EEPROM

The EEPROM is where the default Control Parameters are
stored. This is not to be confused with the PROM chip
(which is the software for the ML–Trim).

F–Stop

One of four operating states. F–Stop brings the ML–Trim's
speed command (analog output) to an immediate Zero.
F–Stop has priority over the other operating states.

Follower Mode

A complex multi-drive system. The scaling format allows
the operator to enter the setpoint as either a ratio or
percentage. The ML–Trim compares the setpoint ratio or
percentage to the Follower sensor shaft feedback and
Lead sensor shaft to calculate any speed error. When the
ML–Trim finds speed error, the control algorithm adjusts
the Speed Command analog output and reduces the error
to zero.

Gain

See Appendix C;CP-65.

Hardwired

Inputs that are wire shorted rather than using push buttons
or switches.

Input Monitoring

Lead Frequency (MP-41)
Feedback Frequency (MP-43)
Logic Inputs, Group A (MP-54)
Logic Inputs, Group B (MP-55)
