Table 4.F Reference Registers
The Reference value is a scaled engineering value; it is NOT in Hertz or
RPM. The Reference uses a “32767” scale. The “32767” endpoint of the
scale is equal to the value of parameter 55 - [Maximum Freq], which has a
default value of 130 Hz. For all PowerFlex 70/700 drives, default scaling is
0…15123 which is equal to 0…60.0 Hz. This is based on the formula
shown below. Reference scaling is limited by drive parameter 82 -
[Maximum Speed]. If the default value of 60 Hz. for parameter 82 -
[Maximum Speed] is changed, the speed Reference scaling also changes. To
determine Reference scaling, use:
(Parameter 82 / Parameter 55) * 32767 = Scaling
Using parameter 82 and 55 default values, speed Reference scaling is:
(60 Hz / 130 Hz) * 32767 = 15123
Therefore, 0…15123 = 0…60.0 Hz.
If parameter 82 - [Maximum Speed] is changed to 90 Hz, then:
(90 Hz / 130 Hz) * 32767 = 22685
Therefore, 0…22685 = 0…90.0 Hz.
A graphic representation of this Reference scaling is shown below:
For PowerFlex 70 EC drives (firmware v2.xxx or higher) or PowerFlex 700
VC drives (firmware v3.xxx or higher), parameter 298 - [DPI Ref Select]
was added to simplify scaling for the speed Reference. When parameter 298
- [DPI Ref Select] is set to its default “0” (Max Freq), the speed Reference
scaling is as shown above. However, when parameter 298 - [DPI Ref Select]
is set to “1” (Max Speed), the speed Reference scaling is equal to parameter
82 - [Max Speed]:
Parameter 82 = Scaling
Therefore, 0…32767 = 0…60.0 Hz.
If parameter 82 - [Maximum Speed] is changed to 90 Hz, then:
90 Hz = 32767
