Can I use 2 potentiometers in parallel to control the speed of the drive from 2 different locations?
Issue:
Is it possible to control speed of drive using 2 potentiometers in different locations?
Product Line:
All Altivar drive products.
Environment:
All models, All serial numbers
Cause:
Customer needs to be able to control the speed of the drive from 2 different locations at the same time.
Resolution:
No, this is not possible by using parallel potentiometers. The drive will only follow a single speed reference at any given time.
The drive can be switched between two different potentiometers via a logic input but it can not follow two different potentiometers at once.
Some drives allow 2 separate analog input signals to be summed or added together to set the speed reference.
