StartĆUp
Introduction
This chapter will provide you with basic procedures for initial adjustments
and configuration of the Drive control. Procedures you will perform in this
chapter include the following:
S Verification of proper installation and wiring.
S Configuration of the Drive Control for Digital Reference Adapter I/O.
Terminology
Parameter – Memory location used to store Drive set-up data, or to
monitor real time input or output information. Each parameter is assigned a
name and number which does not change.
Set-Up Parameter – Parameter whose values do not change during normal
operation of the Drive. The Set-Up Parameters are used for scaling and
calibration of specific Drive functions which are application and/or
hardware dependent
Configuration Parameter – Parameter whose value may be changed
during normal operation of the Drive. The Configuration Parameters are
used to input reference and feedback information to the Drive, and to
provide monitoring points for control signals. The Configuration
Parameters are one of two types, termed Source or Sink parameters. Refer
to the Bulletin 1395 Installation and Maintenance manual for a detailed
description of Source and Sink parameters
Source – Parameter which may be used as a source of data for input
to a sink.
Sink – Parameter which acts as an input of data from a source.
Linking – The process of connecting a Sink parameter to a Source
parameter.
Parameter SetĆUp
After you hard wire the I/O to the Digital Reference Adapter Board
terminals, parameters in the Drive must be set up for data flow between the
Digital Reference Board and the Drive. Each input terminal has parameters
associated with it. Set-Up parameters are used to program the Adapter
Board functions, and consist of Parameters 550 through 599 for Port A,
and 500 through 549 for Port B. Variable parameters are used to monitor
and control the Drive, and must be linked to a parameter in the Drive (refer
to the 1395 Installation and Maintenance Manual for a complete
description of linking). Which Configuration parameters are used, is also
dependent on which port the board is in. Configuration parameters in the
400 series are used with Port A, and Configuration parameters in the 300
series are used with Port B. A detailed description of these parameters is
provided in Chapter 5, of this manual.
