Accessing the DRIVE SETUP Menu To help guard against access to the drive setup programming parameters by
untrained personnel, a special key combination is required to access the
DRIVE SETUP menu. To access this menu, simultaneously press and hold
the Mode, Scroll + and Scroll – keys for about 3 seconds. The DRIVE
SETUP menu and a second bar at character 3 of line 1 will be displayed.
This menu allows access to all of the drive setup parameters that are
needed to integrate the motor and drive to the machine. The programmer
will be able to:
- Select and define gear ranges
- Select the motor
- Select the drive and set basic configuration parameters
- Dynamically tune the drive
- Setup spindle orient
- Configure the analog outputs
Exiting the DRIVE SETUP Menu
Upon completion of setup, pressing and holding the Mode and Scroll –
keys will return the display to the DISPLAY TYPE menu.
Important: Exiting DRIVE SETUP and returning to the DISPLAY TYPE
menu is the only way to cause all parameter value changes to be written to
EEPROM for permanent storage.
Default Data
When the drive is shipped from the factory, default values are programmed
for most of the drive configuration data. The values that are chosen will
result in relatively low performance operation up to about half speed with
most types of systems.
Important: There are three parameters that have no default value assigned.
Two of these parameters must be programmed by the user before trying to
enable the drive or the drive will fault. These parameters are l) MOTOR
SELECT– Catalog Num and 2) PARAMETER SET – ELECT CONFIG –
Drive Cat Num. The third parameter, ORIENT SETUP – FEEDBACK
DEFN – Encoder Lines, must be programmed before attempting to use the
drive to perform spindle orient.
