Operation What this chapter contains The chapter describes the operation of the control panel. Basics of operation You operate the control panel with menus and keys. The keys include two context- sensitive soft keys, whose current function is indicated by the text shown in the display above each key.
Initially, the panel is in the Output mode, where you can 30.00rpm 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 00:00 MENU...

Basic operations – Any mode 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.
Output mode In the Output mode, you can: • monitor actual values of up to three signals • change the direction of the motor rotation • set the speed, frequency, torque or position reference • adjust the display contrast • start, stop, change the direction and switch between local and remote control. You get to the Output mode by pressing EXIT repeatedly.

How to change the value of value pointer parameters In addition to the parameters shown above, there are two kinds of pointer parameters; value pointer parameters and bit pointer parameters. The value pointer parameter points to the value of another parameter/signal. The source parameter is given in format P.xx.yy, where xx = Parameter group;...
How to change the value of bit pointer parameter to point to the value of a bit in another signal The bit pointer parameter points to the value of a bit in another signal, or can be fixed to 0 (FALSE) or 1 (TRUE). For the latter option, see page 26. The bit pointer parameter points to a bit value (0 or 1) of one bit in a 32-bit signal.

Parameter Backup The Parameter Backup option is used to export parameters from one drive to another or to make a backup of the drive parameters. Uploading to the panel stores all drive parameters, including up to four user sets, to the Control Panel. Selectable subsets of the backup file can then be restored/downloaded from the control panel to the same drive or another drive of the same type (e.g.
