Cpcs Motor Speed Control; Two-Step Purge Control; Motor Stop/Restart Control - Hitachi NEXT Series Instruction Manual

8. STANDARD COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS [Capacity Control System]

① CPCS Motor Speed Control

Based on the pressure signals detected by the pressure
sensor, the built in circuit board's CPU performs PID
operations or calculates the motor speed that meets the
compressed air consumption rate, and then inputs the
calculated results to the inverter. The inverter outputs
the instructions of the corresponding frequency to the
motor. The discharge pressure is controlled within a
targeted range due to the increasing and decreasing
speeds of the motor.
Pressure

② Two-Step Purge Control

Two-Step Purge Control is activated if the following
conditions occur at the same time:
・ T he operating frequency drops to 35 Hz (equivalent
to 45% of the air consumption).
・ T he pressure detected by the pressure sensor rises
to an upper (purge-start) pressure point.
The blowoff solenoid valve (1) operates to start purging
the compressed air (contained between the airend and
the check valve) to atmosphere. The system decreases
the operating frequency to its lowest operating
frequency, 27 Hz, thus saving power. When the
pressure detected by the pressure sensor drops to a
cut-in (purge-stop) pressure, the system increases the
frequency to 35 Hz and the blowoff solenoid valve (1)
operates to stop the purging, returning the system
control back to CPCS Motor Speed Control.

③ Motor Stop/Restart Control

Motor Stop/Restart Control is activated under one of the
following conditions:
・Air consumption decreases to 4 %
・ P urge operating continues for 3 minutes.
The system then automatically stops the motor. For
protection, the motor can only be stopped once every 10
operating minutes. When the pressure detected by the
pressure sensor drops to a cut-out (purge-stop) pressure,
the system automatically restarts the motor, returning
the system control to CPCS Motor Speed Control.
IMPORTANT
(1) Once the motor has stopped, it cannot restart for 15
seconds.
(2) The plant's system pressure may drop drastically before the
motor will restart, 15 seconds later. To avoid such problems,
install an air receiver tank of 620 USgal (2.26 m
