Programming 6-1MN792
Overview The shipping configuration allows the user to start up and run a DC motor in simple speed control. The flexibility
is having the ability to change configuration and to tune the control for optimum performance. The parameters
most frequently adjusted for tuning and performance are in the Setup Parameters menu. They are categorized
by submenus within the overall software block diagram.
This chapter describes each of these parameters.
You can set the parameter values within the Setup Parameters submenu (keypad) or by using a Workbench D
(see Manual MN794). You can also configure the drive or connect and reconnect signals between drive function
blocks and I/O terminals from the keypad or Workbench D. Parameters in this section are in the order of the
keypad submenu.
The drive’s parameters and function block inputs and outputs are defined as either a percentage if they are
continuous, or as boolean value (1 or 0) if they are discrete. Depending on how the drive is configured, these
parameters can represent physical entities such as motor speed or current. Connecting inputs or outputs to
software function blocks or to real world signals defines what the function block inputs or outputs represent. For
example, the output (Destination Tag) from Raise/Lower can represent current demand if sent to the current
loop or a speed setpoint if sent to the speed loop.
Menu System The menu system is divided into nine major selections, shown in Table 6-1. Each selection has a structure of
menus (Figure 6-1). At the keypad, press “M” to access the menus. Then press the Y or B key to scroll
through the menus. Refer to section 7 for more information on the keypad and menus.
