Example 6: Remote Start/Stop (2-wire) & Speed Changes via external source with 3
Present Speeds
This configuration is generally used when the inverter is controlled via a remote source such as a PLC. It can also
be used with a maintained switch when it is desirable to have the drive restart on restoration of power. It should not
be used where the safety of the attending personnel might be threatened by automatic restart. Up to three speeds
can be selected by using the switches SW1-SW2 to select the desired speed.
Operation
Close (K1) to run in the forward direction.
Close (K2) to run in the reverse direction.
When both relays are closed, the inverter will fault on a External Fault and stop operation of the
motor.
The frequency of the inverter will be proportional to the signal level on terminal FV or FI
( 0Vdc=0Hz, 5Vdc=30Hz & 10Vdc =60Hz).
By closing any of the switches (SW1-SW2) and closing either (K1) or( K2) to determine the direction,
the inverter will run at a present speed.
When the LOCAL/REMOTE key is pressed, the inverter will act as Example 1.
