The keypad display of this drive has two modes: Drive Mode and Programming Mode.

  • Drive Mode

    Use this mode to operate the drive. These operations are available:

    • Monitor operation statuses (for example, output frequency, output current, and output voltage)

    • Set the parameters that you can change while the drive is operating (for example, d1-01 to d1-17). Refer to Parameter Details for more information.

  • Programming Mode

    Parameter Setting Mode These operations are available:

    • Examine and set the parameters that are not at default settings (Verify Mode)

    • See and set the basic parameters necessary for the drive operation (Setup Mode)

    • See and set all parameters (Parameter Setting Mode)

    • Automatically set motor parameters (Auto-Tuning Mode)

Table 1 gives information about the functions you can access when you push [Up arrow key] / [Down arrow key].

Note:

Set b1-08 [Run Command Select in PRG Mode] to accept or reject the Run command from an external source when in Programming Mode.

  • Set b1-08 = 1 [Accept RUN while Programming] to accept the Run command from an external source while in Programming Mode.

  • Set b1-08 = 2 [Allow Programming Only at Stop] to prevent changes from Drive Mode to Programming Mode.
