Not a PLC question but still controls. I have an application with an ABB ACH550 that I will be adding a sensor to the drive and have the drive use PID to control motor speed using the feedback sensor. What I want to be able to do is to program one of the DIs so that when the DI triggers, the PID loop either freezes, or limits.
The actual application is controlling the room pressure to a slight vacuum with an exhaust fan. When a door opens, I don't want the fan to run away to full speed since this can cause the door to slam closed and I don't need anyone getting their hand smashed. So door switches will be used to hopefully trigger the VFD to either freeze the output or limit the output speed.
Anyone have thoughts?
