Basics of Configuring the Drive
Using the OIM
Configuring the drive customizes it for your application. You can use the OIM ,
WebPak CS software, or network to configure the drive. This chapter describes how to
use the
OIM to configure the drive, including:
• access parameters and make changes to them
• restore factory default values for the parameters
• self-tune the drive (which lets the drive configure some parameters for you)
• use a password to protect your configuration
• save changes to parameters
Appendix A of this manual lists full menu paths for accessing parameters. For
parameter descriptions, see the software manual.
4.1 Types of Parameters
Parameters can be inputs or outputs, tunable or configurable, and retentive or
non-retentive.
• Input: You can change the value of the parameter through the OIM .
• Output: Provides output information. Value cannot be changed through the OIM .
• Tunable: Parameter value can be changed when the drive is running.
• Configurable: Parameter value cannot be changed when the drive is running.
• Retentive: Parameter value is stored in the drive even when power is off. To save
changes to the values, a Memory Save must be performed before removing power.
• Non-retentive: Changes to the parameter value are not saved when power is
removed.
