Programming and Parameters

This chapter provides a complete listing and description of the PowerFlex Active
Front End parameters. The parameters can be programmed (viewed or edited)
using an LCD HIM (Human Interface Module). Alternatively, programming can
be performed using a personal computer with a configuration tool such as
Connected Components Workbench™ software, DriveExecutive™ software, or
DriveExplorer™ software.

About Parameters

To configure the AFE to operate in a specific way, certain AFE parameters may
have to be configured appropriately. Three types of parameters exist:

• Numeric Parameters

These parameters have a single numeric value (such as 1V AC).

• ENUM Parameters

These parameters allow a selection from 2 or more items. The LCD HIM
displays a text message for each item.

• Bit Parameters

These parameters have individual bits associated with features or
conditions. If the bit is 0, the feature is off or the condition is false. If the
bit is 1, the feature is on or the condition is true.

The following example table shows how each parameter type is presented in this
manual.
