Any time a parameter name is selected, the parameter value
that is initially shown on line 2 is the value that is currently
stored in RAM as the operating parameter value.
To speed system setup, it is possible to change the value of
any parameter while the drive is operating. When a parame-
ter value is changed and the Select key is pushed, there is a
time delay of about 0.75-1.0 second before the value is used
in drive operation. Changes to the specified motor or drive
type or to the analog output definition will only become ef-
fective when the value changes are actually stored in EE-
PROM the next time the Enable input is energized.
Important: When trying to change parameters while the
drive is operating and then observe the resultant operation,
verify that the actual operating gear range and motor winding
selected by the drive inputs (and shown in characters 1 & 2
of line 1 of the display) matches the programming gear range
and motor winding shown by characters 1 & 2 of line 2. If
they do not match, any parameter changes will be made to a
different gear range data set, resulting in no effect on current
drive operation and possible erratic operation when the other
data set is used.
ATTENTION: Changing certain parameter values can result in
significantly different drive operation characteristics, such as
reversing direction of rotation or changing the motor speed for a
specific input command level. If parameters are changed while
the drive is operating, the user is responsible for assuring that
the changes in operating characteristics that result from these
changes will not result in unsafe machine operating conditions
