LS ELECTRIC H100 Variable Speed Drive User Guide
Introduction
This quick start reference is meant to be a supplement to the User Manual included in the VFD packaging. This reference is a continuation to the H100+ “Basic Setup” quick start. It assumes proper motor and VFD protection features have been setup.
PID is a process loop used to control a process variable froma sensor(transducer) such as pressure or temperature. This reference guides the installer through the wiring and programming needed for a PID loop.
CAUTION!
Improper wiring and operation may result in serious personal injury or
death.
Follow the recommended wiring practices suggested in this document as well as the User Manual. The minimum size of the protective earth (ground) conductor shall comply with local safety regulations and applicable codes.
Please review all H100+ relateddocuments included with the product before proceeding with any installation and wiring.
Step 1 – Transducer Identification and Wiring
Most transducers utilize a 4-20mA output and require a DC power source to
work. Identify the specs on the transducers label or spec sheet to proceed.
This is also important for verifying the range of the transducer.
Wiring
2 wire transducers (4-20mA)
“24V” is used to power the transducer.
“I2” is used for the 4-20mA input terminal from the transducer.
Polarity MUST be correct.
0-10VDC and 0-5VDC transducers
Utilize the “V1” terminal or “I2”.
Note: If using I2 for a voltage input set SW4 to the right. This sets
“I2” up as “V2”.
Step 2 – Basic PID Parameter Setup
At initial power up the VFDs keypad will prompt the operator to go through the EZ Start. If “Yes” is selected, the first question is macro selection. “Pressure Control” is recommended for PID setup. If the EZ Start is bypassed, you may also set the macro at CNF43.
EZ Start
The Pressure Control macro enables PID and sets up a special User Group. Press
the “Mode” key to get to the “U&M” display.
Review and adjust any necessary parameters listed below to get the basic PID loop setup.
MACRO Code| **Group| ****No| ****Description|
****Default| ****Setting options| Recommended Setting
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
17| ** PID| 1| PID Selection ( Enables PID )| Yes|
Yes/No| 1 – Yes
18| PID| 10| PID Reference selection| Keypad|

Adjust as needed to improve performance.
22| PID| 26| PID I-Time 1| 2.00 Sec.| 0 – 200
Sec.| Adjust as needed to improve performance.

example, 100PSI
H100+ Step 3 – Commonly Set Parameters and Functions
Listed below are commonly set parameters related to PID operation. These parameters are listed in both the U&M mode and standard PAR mode. Set accordingly based on the application requirements.
Sleep
- PID-59 Sleep Level type
The following sleep level types can be selected:
Setting
- Frequency (Factory Default)
- Output Current
- PID Feedback Value
- RPM
- Flow Rate
-
PID-62 PID Sleep 0 DT
-
PID-63 PID Sleep 0 Lev
If the operating frequency stays below the frequencies set at PID-63 for the set times at PID-62, the VFD enters standby mode. -
PID-56 Pump Minimum Speed
Pump minimum speed sets the low limit on the command frequency. Minimum Limit operates based on the greatest value of following:- AP2 40 Thrust Frequency, PID 56 Pump Minimum Speed, ADV 25 Freq Limit Lo
Wake-up
-
PID-57 Wake UpLev type
0. Absolute or 1. Deviation (Factory default) can be selected for the Wake-up level
-
PID-64 PID Wake Up 0 DT
-
PID-65 PID Wake Up 0Lev
Sets the reference for PID operation in PID sleep mode. PID operation resumes when PID feedback variation (from the PID reference) exceeds the values set in PID-65 for more than the time set in PID-64.
Lost Feedback Detection
Lost Feedback Detection shuts the pump down when the feedback is lost. The VFD can be set to take the action programmed in AP2-75.
- AP2-75 LostFbkMode
Setting
- None
- Warning
- Trip & Coast
- Lost Preset
- PRT-14 Lost Cmd Time
- PRT-15 Lost Preset Frequency
High/Low Feedback Detection
Low/High feedback detection detects whether PID feedback is higher than high feedback level or lower than low feedback level to trigger Warning or Trip&Coast stop.
-
AP2-48 High Feedback Detection Mode
-
AP2-49 High Feedback Level Fault Delay Time
-
AP2-50 High Feedback Level
-
AP2-51 Low Feedback Mode
-
AP2-52 Low Feedback Level Fault Delay Time
-
AP2-53 Low Feedback Level
-
AP2-54 Hysteresis Level
Thrust Bearing Control
Thrust bearing control is commonly required on submersible pumps in order to
protect the thrust bearing. This provides a fast accel and decel at lower
speeds and applies to HAND and AUTO modes.
- AP2-40 Thrust Frequency
- AP2-41 Thrust Bearing Acceleration Time
- AP2-42 Thrust Bearing Deceleration Time
Step 4 –Verifying Operation
The VFD must be in AUTO mode for PID to operate. Additionally, an active run
command must be present. This is dependent on DRV06. The Pressure Control
macro “pins” feedback and setpoint to the main monitor screen for easy
viewing. Compare the Feedback monitor on the main screen to a mechanical
gauge. See below examples.
Step 5 –PID Troubleshooting
VFD is not running
- Check run command
- Check that feedback is below the setpoint
- Check sleep and wakeup levels
Feedback is always at “0”.
- Check that PID20 matches physical terminal used for feedback.
- Check transducer polarity.
- Check analog input monitor to verify signal. IN05(V1), IN35(V2), or IN50(I2).
The VFD keeps starting and stopping
- Check that sleep delay time is longer than accel time to prevent “sleep cycling”
Slow response to feedback changes.
- Gradually increase P gain and decrease I-Time.
