The diagram below shows a generalised representation of the frequency controller. The controller includes a feed forward proportional gain (Kp), a feed forward integral gain (Ki), and a differential feedback gain (Kd).
The drive holds two sets of these gains and either set may be selected for use by the frequency controller with Frequency Controller Gain Select (03.016). If Frequency Controller Gain Select (03.016) = 0, gains Kp1, Ki1 and Kd1 are used, and if Frequency Controller Gain Select (03.016) = 1, gains Kp2, Ki2 and Kd2 are used.
If Frequency Controller Gain Select (03.016) = 2, Kp1 etc are used while the modulus of the frequency demand is less than the value held by Gain Change Threshold (03.017), else Kp2 etc will be used.
If Frequency Controller Gain Select (03.016) is changed when the drive is enabled, the controller output is kept constant by modifying the level of the integral term accumulator so that the transient produced is minimised.
Proportional gain (Kp)
If Kp is non-zero and Ki is zero the controller will only have a proportional term, and there must be a frequency error to produce a torque reference. Therefore as the motor load increases there will be a difference between the reference and actual frequencies. This effect, called regulation, depends on the level of the proportional gain, the higher the gain the smaller the frequency error for a given load. If the proportional gain is too high the closed-loop stability limit may be reached.
Integral gain (Ki)
The integral gain is provided to prevent frequency regulation. The error is accumulated over a period of time and used to produce the necessary torque reference without any frequency error. Increasing the integral gain reduces the time taken for the frequency to reach the correct level and increases the stiffness of the system, i.e. it reduces the positional displacement produced by applying a load torque to the motor. Unfortunately increasing the integral gain also reduces the system damping giving overshoot after a transient. For a given integral gain the damping can be improved by increasing the proportional gain. A compromise must be reached where the system response, stiffness and damping are all adequate for the application. The integral term is implemented in the form of ?(Ki x error), and so the integral gain can be changed when the controller is active without causing large transients on the torque reference.
Differential gain (Kd)
The differential gain is provided in the feedback of the frequency controller to give additional damping. The differential term is implemented in a way that does not introduce excessive noise normally associated with this type of function. Increasing the differential term reduces the overshoot produced by under-damping, however for most applications the proportional and integral gains alone are sufficient.
It should be noted that the differential term is limited internally so that it is ineffective if frequency in Hz x Kd x Ki is greater than 170.
To analyse the performance of the frequency controller it may be represented as an s-domain model as shown below.
Kc' is the conversion between the frequency controller output and the torque producing current reference. A value of unity at the output of the frequency controller gives a torque producing current equal to Kc'. The drive automatically compensates the torque producing current reference for flux variations in field weakening, and so Kc' can be assumed to have a constant value even in field weakening. Kc' = Full Scale Current Kc (11.061) x 0.45.
Kt is the torque constant of the motor (i.e. torque in Nm per amp of torque producing current). For induction motors the value must be calculated from the motor parameters. In RFC-A mode this calculation is performed by the drive and the result is stored in Torque Per Amp (05.032).
L(s) is the transfer function of the load.

A filter with a 4ms time constant is always applied to the output of the frequency estimator system used for sensorless operation in closed loop mode. This time constant may be extended by increasing Sensorless Mode Filter (03.079) above 0. The output of the frequency estimator can include some ripple, which increases as the drive passes into field weakening and the filter can be used to remove this ripple. This is particularly useful when using standard ramp or spinning start with a low friction high inertia load, and can prevent over voltage trips when the drive has no braking resistor.
