Chapter 6: Using Macro Mode and Getting a Quick Start

A special Macro programming mode is available with the X5 series of AC drives. The Macro
programming mode allows you to customize quickly the most common parameters for your
application in the Level 1 group. Macro mode provides special parameters for activating modes of
operation by macros, program sequencer, or serial communications.
Parameters important to the drive's operation are also included in Macro mode. Although these
parameters are also available with standard programming, the Macro mode allows you to easily
configure the drive with essential parameters.
Macros configure what advanced functions will be active in the drive. A macro can also change the
default or visibility of a parameter within the programming levels. Parameter 490 (Appl Macro)
configures what macro will be active in the drive. Parameter 491 (Seq Appl) configures the
visibility of sequencer parameters and the time base of the sequencer. Parameter 492 (SIO Visible)
configures whether or not SIO parameters are visible. (See
Note that all parameters can be addressed by adding 40000 to the parameter number. For
example, parameter 201 (Input Mode) can be addressed by Modbus address 40201.

Entering Macro Mode

To enter the Macro mode, press and hold the PROGram key for more than three seconds. The drive
then enters Macro mode and displays "Hold PROG for Macro Mode." Following is a list of the
different macros available and their features. A description of parameters used in Macro mode begins
on page 61.
Factory The Factory macro provides a simple way to restore the factory default parameter listings.
Fan The Fan macro provides a basic set-up for Fan applications. Parameters such as the V/Hz curve
and terminal strip operation are available in Level 1 programming.
Fan w/ PI The Fan w/ PI macro allows for a simple set-up for Fan applications requiring process control.
Parameters such as the V/Hz curve, terminal strip operation, and PI configuration parameters
are available in Level 1 programming.
Pump The Pump macro provides a basic set-up for Pump applications. Parameters such as the V/Hz
curve and terminal strip operation are available in Level 1 programming.
Pump w/ PI The Pump w/ PI macro allows for a simple set-up for Pump applications requiring process
control. Parameters such as the V/Hz curve, terminal strip operation, and PI configuration
parameters are available in Level 1 programming.
Vector The Vector macro activates the sensorless vector control algorithm. When an operation
requires low speed and high torque, this macro should be activated.
