Programming Parameters
Chapter Objectives This chapter provides the following information so that you can
program your 8720MC drive operating in analog mode:
• Understanding the Parameter Files, Groups and Elements
• Parameter Files, Groups, and Elements (Group Listing)
• 8720MC Parameters (Alphabetical Listing)
• Parameter Descriptions (Numerical Listing)
Understanding the
Parameter Files, Groups
and Elements The 8720MC Parameters are divided into 7 files to help organize the
parameters into logical groupings that simplify programming and
operator access. Each of the 7 files are divided into groups, and each
parameter is an element in a specific group. Parameters may be used
as elements in more than one group. When using the file/group/
element navigation method, searching is accomplished by first finding
a file, then a group within the file, and then a specific element within
the group. Once finding the element or “parameter” it may be read,
modified or linked depending on the type of parameter. The tables in
this chapter provide a cross reference between the 8720MC parameter
name/description and parameter numbers.
You can also view the parameters in a linear mode. This lets you view
the entire parameter table in numerical order. You can access the
linear mode from the bottom of any group. The parameter numbers
range from 0 to 999. The list of parameters used is far less than 1,000
since there are reserved spaces provided for future product growth.
The current tools available to read, modify, or link the 8720MC
parameters are:
• (1) an integral HIM module - SCANport interface
• (2) a remote HIM module - DPI or SCANport
• (3) DriveExplorer - DPI interface (and 1203 SSS adapter)
