•

the I/O of the AC drive.

A sleep mode function that automatically enables and disables the operation of the drive

•

to save energy.

A 2-zone PID controller with 2 different feedback signals: minimum and maximum

•

control.

2 setpoint sources for the PID control. You can make the selection with a digital input.

•

A function for PID setpoint boost.

•

A feedforward function to make the response to the process changes better.

•

A. The BACK/RESET button. Use it to move

back in the menu, exit the Edit mode,

reset a fault.
B. The arrow button UP. Use it to scroll the

menu up and to increase a value.
C. The FUNCT button. Use it to change the

rotation direction of the motor, access

the control page, and change the control

place. See more in Table 38 Frequency

reference parameters.

D. The arrow button RIGHT.
E. The START button.
F. The arrow button DOWN. Use it to scroll

the menu down and to decrease a value.
G. The STOP button.
H. The arrow button LEFT. Use it to move

the cursor left.
I. The OK button. Go into an active level or

item, accept a selection.

1.2 THE DISPLAYS

There are 2 display types: the graphical display and the text display. The control panel always
has the same keypad and buttons.

The display shows this data.

The status of the motor and the drive.

After these selections, the Start-up wizard is completed. To start the Start-up wizard again,
you have 2 alternatives. Go to the parameter P6.5.1 Restore Factory Defaults or to the
parameter B1.1.2 Start-up Wizard. Then set the value to Activate.

1.4 DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICATIONS

Use the parameter P1.2 (Application) to make a selection of an application for the drive.
Immediately when the parameter P1.2 changes, a group of parameters get their preset
values.

1.4.1 STANDARD APPLICATION

You can use the Standard application in speed-controlled processes where no special
functions are necessary, for example pumps, fans, or conveyors.

It is possible to control the drive from the keypad, Fieldbus or I/O terminal.
When you control the drive with the I/O terminal, the frequency reference signal is connected

to AI1 (0…10V) or AI2 (4…20mA). The connection depends the type of the signal. There are
also 3 preset frequency references available. You can activate the preset frequency
references with DI4 and DI5. The start/stop signals of the drive are connected to DI1 (start
forward) and DI2 (start reverse).

It is possible to configure all the drive outputs freely in all the applications. There are 1
analogue output (Output Frequency) and 3 relay outputs (Run, Fault, Ready) available on the
basic I/O board.

1.4.2 LOCAL/REMOTE APPLICATION

Use the Local/Remote application when, for example, it is necessary to switch between 2
different control places.

To change between the Local and the Remote control place, use DI6. When Remote control is
active, you can give the start/stop commands from Fieldbus or from I/O terminal (DI1 and
DI2). When Local control is active, you can give the start/stop commands from the keypad,
Fieldbus or I/O terminal (DI4 and DI5).

For each control place, you can make a selection of the frequency reference from the
keypad, Fieldbus or I/O terminal (AI1 or AI2).

It is possible to configure all the drive outputs freely in all the applications. There are 1
analogue output (Output Frequency) and 3 relay outputs (Run, Fault, Ready) available on the
basic I/O board.

1.4.4 PID CONTROL APPLICATION

You can use the PID control application with processes where you control the process
variable (for example pressure) through control of the speed of the motor.

In this application, the internal PID controller of the drive is configured for 1 setpoint and 1
feedback signal.

It is possible to use 2 control places. Make the selection of the control place A or B with DI6.
When control place A is active, the start/stop commands are given by DI1, and the PID
controller gives the frequency reference. When control place B is active, start/stop
commands are given by DI4, and AI1 gives the frequency reference.

1.4.5 MULTI-PURPOSE APPLICATION

You can use the Multi-purpose application for different processes (for example conveyors)
where a wide range of motor control functions is necessary.

It is possible to control the drive from the keypad, Fieldbus or I/O terminal. When you use I/O
terminal control, the start/stop commands are given through DI1 and DI2, and the frequency
reference from AI1 or AI2.

There are 2 acceleration/deceleration ramps available. The selection between Ramp1 and
Ramp2 is made by DI6.

It is possible to configure all the drive outputs freely in all the applications. There are 1
analogue output (Output Frequency) and 3 relay outputs (Run, Fault, Ready) available on the
basic I/O board.

In this application, the I/O terminal is set to the default control place. the start/stop
commands are given with DI1 and DI2. The frequency reference of the motor is increased
with DI5 and decreased with DI6.

It is possible to configure all the drive outputs freely in all the applications. There are 1
analogue output (Output Frequency) and 3 relay outputs (Run, Fault, Ready) available on the
basic I/O board.

3.2.2 RESETTING A FAULT

To reset a fault, you can use the Reset button or the parameter Reset Faults. See the
instructions in 10.1 A fault comes into view.

3.2.3 THE FUNCT BUTTON

You can use the FUNCT button for 4 functions.

To have an access to the Control page.

•

To easily change between the Local and Remote control places.

•

To change the rotation direction.

•

To quickly edit a parameter value.

•

The selection of the control place determines from where the AC drive takes the start and
stop commands. All the control places have a parameter for the selection of the frequency
reference source. The Local control place is always the keypad. The Remote control place is
I/O or Fieldbus. You can see the current control place on the status bar of the display.

It is possible to use I/O A, I/O B and Fieldbus as Remote control places. I/O A and Fieldbus
have the lowest priority. You can make a selection of them with P3.2.1 (Remote Control
Place). I/O B can bypass the Remote control places I/O A and Fieldbus with a digital input.
You can make a selection of the digital input with parameter P3.5.1.7 (I/O B Control Force).

The keypad is always used as a control place when the control place is Local. Local control
has higher priority than Remote control. For example, when you are in Remote control, if
parameter P3.5.1.7 bypasses the control place with a digital input, and you make a selection
of Local, Keypad becomes the control place. Use the FUNCT button or P3.2.2 Local/Remote
to change between the Local and Remote control.

The selection of the control place determines from where the AC drive takes the start and
stop commands. All the control places have a parameter for the selection of the frequency
reference source. The Local control place is always the keypad. The Remote control place is
I/O or Fieldbus. You can see the current control place on the status bar of the display.

It is possible to use I/O A, I/O B and Fieldbus as Remote control places. I/O A and Fieldbus
have the lowest priority. You can make a selection of them with P3.2.1 (Remote Control
Place). I/O B can bypass the Remote control places I/O A and Fieldbus with a digital input.
You can make a selection of the digital input with parameter P3.5.1.7 (I/O B Control Force).

The keypad is always used as a control place when the control place is Local. Local control
has higher priority than Remote control. For example, when you are in Remote control, if
parameter P3.5.1.7 bypasses the control place with a digital input, and you make a selection
of Local, Keypad becomes the control place. Use the FUNCT button or P3.2.2 Local/Remote
to change between the Local and Remote control.

CHANGING THE CONTROL PLACE

1 Anywhere in the menu structure, push the FUNCT

button.

2 To make a selection of the Local/Remote, use the

arrow buttons Up and Down. Push the OK button.

3 To make a selection of Local or Remote, use the

arrow buttons Up and Down again. To accept the
selection, push the OK button.
