Front Panels for the MICROMASTER 420 Front panels The front panels shown below are available for use with the MICROMASTER 420 Inverters. The panel on the left is supplied with the inverter as standard and is referred to as the Status Display Panel (SDP). The Basic Operator Panel (BOP) and Advanced Operator Panel (AOP) are available as options.
Commissioning with the Basic Operator Panel (BOP) The Basic Operator Panel (BOP), which is available as an option, provides access to the inverter parameters and enables you to customize the settings of your MICROMASTER 420. The BOP can be used to configure several MICROMASTER 420 150.00 Inverters.
To change the Frequency Setpoint via the BOP set P1000 = 1. Pressing this button decreases the displayed value. Decrease value To change the Frequency Setpoint via the BOP set P1000 = 1. Figure 3-3 Buttons on the Basic Operator Panel MICROMASTER 420 Operating Instructions 6SE6400-5AA00-0BP0...
Note - Busy Message In some cases - when changing parameter values - the display on the BOP shows " - - - -". This means the inverter is busy with tasks of higher priority. MICROMASTER 420 Operating Instructions 6SE6400-5AA00-0BP0...
(P0005 = 21) the corresponding setpoint is displayed approximately every 1.0 seconds while the inverter is stopped. 3. The inverter is programmed at the factory for standard applications on Siemens four- pole standard motors that have the same power rating as the inverters. When using other motors it is necessary to enter the specifications from the motor's rating plate.
