What are the Functions of VFD Control Circuits?

AI Thread Summary
Understanding the functions of VFD control circuits is crucial for effectively programming a new drive, especially when transitioning from an old model. The user seeks guidance on reconnecting control circuits for a duplex control panel in a water booster system. It is recommended to obtain the drive manual for both the old and new drives, as they contain essential information on I/O terminals and parameters. While the motor performance parameters may be similar, control and I/O configurations can vary significantly between different manufacturers. Accessing the old drive's manual will aid in programming the new drive accurately.

Hi,

I,m Novice on VFDs and I was called to reconnect control circuits and program one of them for a duplex control panel(water booster system). I figured out the I/O terminals on the new drive but don't know it functions. Where I can get those function from since the only source is the old drive from other manufacture next to it?

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks

You should have the drive manual for both the old and the new- Google it, I am sure it is out there somewhere. Otherwise your question is too general for us to be much help.
The parameters for each drive will be similar for the motor performance, but the control and IO can be different. For the old one look for some method to make a copy (file) of the program / parameters.
 
Thanks , I already have the old drive manual. I guess looking at its function I will be able to program the new one.

Thanks again
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
