This document provides guidance on setting up PID control loops for Rockwell Automation's PowerFlex 523 and 525 AC drives. It explains that these drives have PID functionality for proportional, integral, and derivative control. It outlines the key parameter settings needed to enable the PID loop, select the PID reference and feedback, set the desired setpoint, and configure the drive for exclusive PID control. It recommends referring to the user manual for more details on setting up and tuning PID loops on these drives.

TECH TOPICS Q&As: PID Setup for

PowerFlex 523 and 525

This Tech Topic provides guidance for PID


setup for Rockwell Automation’s PowerFlex
523 Series and 525.

POWERFLEX 520 SERIES:


PID SETUP AND FUNCTIONALITY

Questions:

• Do PowerFlex 520 Series AC drives


have PID functionality?
• How do I set up PID loop with a PowerFlex
520 series drive?

Answer:

Both the PowerFlex 525 (2 PID inputs) and the


PowerFlex 523 (1 PID input) AC Drives have
the PID functionality (proportional, integral,
derivative) control loops. The PID loop is used
to maintain a process feedback (such as
pressure, flow or tension) at a desired set point. Setup
The PID loop works by subtracting the PID
feedback from a reference and generating an To enable the PID loop, Parameters P047, P049,
