Operating instructions
Basics of operation
You operate the control panel with menus and keys. The keys include two contextsensitive soft keys, whose current function is indicated by the text shown in the
display above each key.
You select an option, e.g. operation mode or parameter, by entering the MENU state
using soft key 2, and then by scrolling the and arrow keys until the
option is highlighted and then pressing the relevant soft key. With the right soft key
you usually enter a mode, accept an option or save the changes. The left soft key is
used to cancel the made changes and return to the previous operation level.
The Control Panel has ten options in the Main menu: Parameters, Assistants,
Changed Par, Fault Logger, Time & Date, Parameter Backup, I/O Settings, Reference
Edit, Drive Info and Parameter Change Log. In addition, the control panel has an
Output mode, which is used as default. Also, when a fault or alarm occurs, the panel
goes automatically to the Fault mode showing the fault or alarm. You can reset the
fault in the Output or Fault mode. The operation in these modes and options is
described in this chapter.
Initially, the panel is in the Output mode, where you
can start, stop, change the direction, switch between
local and remote control, modify the reference value
and monitor up to three actual values. To do other
tasks, go first to the Main menu and select the
appropriate option on the menu. The status line (see
section Status line on page 18) shows the name of
the current menu, mode, item or state.

How to find out the panel version
StepActionDisplay
1.If the power is switched on, switch it off.
- If the panel cable can be disconnected easily, unplug
the panel cable from the control panel, OR
- if the panel cable can not be disconnected easily, switch
off the control board or the drive.
2.Keep key depressed while you switch on the power
and read the information. The display shows the
following panel information:
Panel SW: Panel firmware version
ROM CRC: Panel ROM check sum
Flash Rev: Flash content version
Flash content comment.
When you release the key, the panel goes to the

How to start, stop and switch between local and remote control
You can start, stop and switch between local and remote control in any mode. To be
able to start or stop the drive by using the control panel, the drive must be in local
control.
StepActionDisplay
1.To switch between remote control (REM shown on the
status line) and local control (LOC shown on the status
line), press .
Note: Switching to local control can be prevented with
parameter 16.01Local lock.
The very first time the drive is powered up, it is in remote
control (REM) and controlled through the drive I/O
terminals. To switch to local control (LOC) and control the
drive using the control panel, press . The result
depends on how long you press the key:
If you release the key immediately (the display flashes
“Switching to the local control mode”), the drive stops.
Set the local control reference as instructed on page 23.
If you press the key until the text “Keep running” appears,
the drive continues running as before. The drive copies
the current remote values for the run/stop status and the
reference, and uses them as the initial local control
settings.
To stop the drive in local control, press .The arrow ( or ) on the status line
stops rotating.
To start the drive in local control, press .The arrow ( or ) on the status line
starts rotating. It is dotted until the
drive reaches the setpoint.
