General basics

Adapting the inverter to the drive task
By means of commissioning with prompting, the inverter is adapted to the motor and the
drive task so that the motor can be optimally operated and protected.
Functions extending beyond commissioning are activated and adapted by changing
parameters directly.
Both commissioning and the parameterization of functions may be undertaken with one of
the following operating units:
● Keyboard and display unit (Operator Panel) that is snapped onto the inverter.
● Software (STARTER commissioning tool) that allows the inverter to be parameterized
Inverters are especially used to improve and expand the starting and speed response of
motors.
Many standard applications can function with the default parameters set in the factory
Although inverters can be parameterized for very specific applications, many standard
applications can be configured by means of just a few parameters.
Use the factory settings (where possible)
For basic applications, commissioning can be carried out using just the factory settings (see
Commissioning with factory settings (Page 60)).
Use quick commissioning (for simple, standard applications)
In the majority of standard applications, commissioning can be carried out by entering or
changing just a few parameters during quick commissioning.
