Drive Parameters

7.1

Serial Link

The serial link is used to set or monitor drive parameters stored in non-volatile memory
using the configuration program.
This program allows the user to:
• set all user adjustable parameters
• monitor inputs and fault status
• In a multi drive configuration it is possible to access all drives from a single PC
without having to transfer the serial cable from one drive to another.
With the serial link connected it is possible to monitor the position of the resolver (0-
1024) within one motor revolution.
Hardware:
A personal computer with either an RS422 adapter plus cable or an RS232 serial cable.
The choice depends upon how the drive has been configured.
