CONTROL PARAMETERS
Parameters are divided into two classifications; Control Parameters (CP) and Monitor
Parameters (MP). The numbered code that represents the Parameter is the Parameter
Code. The operational data is the Parameter's value.

This section is about Control Parameters. Monitor Parameters are explained in
Operation: Monitor Parameters .
The MLP–Drive comes factory pre-loaded with a complete set of default Control
Parameters values. The majority of these default settings are suitable for most
applications and do not require modification.
Control Parameters allow you to enter data that is unique to your system (e.g., encoder
resolution, Lead to Follower ratios) and modify the MLP–Drive for your specific needs
(e.g., maximum RPMs, setpoints, acceleration/deceleration ramp rates) by entering a
parameter value.
The MLP–Drive is designed to execute either the Direct mode of operation, the Master
(stand-alone) mode of operation or the Follower mode of operation. The values that
you enter in the relevant Control Parameters, as well as the manner in which you wire
and calibrate your MLP–Drive, determine which of the modes of operation your MLP–
Drive is set up for. The mode of operation that you use is determined by your systems
operational requirements.
The following subsections demonstrate how to enter Control Parameters for the Direct
mode, Master (stand-alone) mode or the Follower mode of operation. In addition,
Control Parameters for speed change, stability, warning methods and fast forward are
addressed in the subsections on Acceleration/Deceleration, Tuning, Alarms, and Jog.
