Overview of Drive Programming

The Drive Programming is the simple sequence function built into the inverter.
To create sequence programs and check their status, you use the Inverter/Servo supporting tool,
CX-Drive.
Transfer (download) the created programs to the 3G3MX2/3G3RX Series Inverter so that the
stand-alone inverter can perform simple sequence control.
Features of Drive Programming
The Drive Programming has the following features.
• The Drive Programming supports both flowchart and text language method programming.
• You can create a program divided into up to five tasks.
• Five tasks can be processed in parallel.
• It is possible to execute user programs externally by settings of multi-function input terminals.
• You can use the multi-function I/O terminals by allocating them to the parameters.
• The Digital Operator enables you to change the settings of the frequency, acceleration/deceleration
time, and other parameters (variables) that require on-site adjustment by specifying the user parame-
ters (P100 to P131), without connecting the computer.
• Because user programs are stored in the internal EEPROM of the inverter, you can start a program
immediately after the inverter power supply is turned on.
• The optional LCD Digital Operator (Model: 3G3AX-OP05) has a built-in clock function. By purchasing
and connecting the LCD Digital Operator, you can create programs that use the LCD Digital Opera-
tor's clock function.
MX2
You cannot connect the 3G3MX2 Series Inverters with the LCD Digital Operator (Model:
3G3AX-OP05). Therefore, the clock function is not available.
Precautions for Safe Use
If the clock command is used in the Drive Programming, an unexpected operation may occur
due to weak battery of the LCD Digital Operator.
Take measures such as detecting a weak battery by a check that the clock data returns to the
initial setting and stopping the inverter or programs.
When the LCD Digital Operator is removed or disconnected, Drive Programming is in a waiting
status by the clock command.
The following table shows the main functions of the Drive Programming Editor available in CX-Drive.
