When the system is in “sleep” state, if the PID feedback value (showing the pressure
downstream of the pump) falls below a “wake up” threshold (UPP), the variable
pump is restarted.

PID feedback supervision
Once the variable pump is running at maximum speed and at the same time the PID
feedback is lower than the supervision threshold (LPI) at the end of a time delay
(tPI), the drive switches to fallback mode. There are two possible scenarios (see
graphs below):
v Thedriveperformsafreewheelstopanddisplaysaspecicfaultcode1.
v Congurablexedspeedoperationwithdisplayofaspecicfaultcode2.
The drive reverts to regulation mode when the PID feedback returns to the
supervision threshold (LPI).

In single variable mode with auxiliary pump, this function is active when both pumps
are operating.
No-load operation detection
Thisfunctionisusedinapplicationswherezeroowcannotbedetectedbythesleep
function alone. It is active when the auxiliary pump is stopped and the variable pump
motorfrequencyreferenceisbelowaconguredthreshold.
It consists of periodically forcing the motor frequency reference to a low value:
v If the request is still present, it results in an increase in the PID error and the drive
reverts to regulation in line with the previous reference.
v Iftherequestisnolongerpresent(zeroow),thePIDerrorwillnotchange,
which is characteristic of no-load operation. The variable pump motor is stopped.
