Question:

How should the reference speed be configured for an ATV320 Solar drive that is powered only by a solar panel and needs to operate at the maximum possible speed?

Answer:

Method 1:

Set maximum speed reference via terminal AI1:

Method 2:

Configure LSP (Low Speed) = HSP (High Speed):

The drive’s integrated MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm will then automatically adjust the motor speed based on the available solar energy.
