Understanding Links A link is a software connection between two parameters that lets one
parameter receive information from another parameter. The
parameter receiving the information is called a destination parameter.
Throughout this manual, destination parameters are identified by the
following symbol:
The parameter providing the information is called a source parameter.
Throughout this manual, source parameters are identified by the
following symbol:
Each destination parameter can only have one source parameter.
However, source parameters may be linked to multiple destination
parameters. The information from the link always flows from the
source parameter to the destination parameter:
Creating a Link
You create links at the destination parameter. To create a link:
1. Go to the parameter that you want to receive the information.
2. Enter the number of the source parameter.
The following example uses a Human Interface Module (HIM) to
create a link. For this example, SP An Output (parameter 139) is the
destination parameter that is linked to Motor Torque % (parameter
86), which is the source parameter. To create this link:
1. From the Choose Mode prompt, use INC or DEC to select Links.
2. Press INC or DEC to select Set Links. The HIM automatically
scrolls through the linear parameter list until it finds a parameter
that you can link.
3. Use INC or DEC to scroll through the parameter list until you
come to the destination parameter that you want to link. In this
example, you would use INC or DEC until you reach
parameter 139. The display should be similar to the following:
4. Press SEL. The display should now be similar to the following:
5. Press INC or DEC to go to the parameter that you want to provide
the information. In this case, parameter 8 — Motor Torque %.
6. Press ENTER.
7. Press ESC when you have finished to exit the Set Links mode.
