Basics of operation

You operate the control panel with menus and keys. The keys include two context-
sensitive soft keys, whose current function is indicated by the text shown in the
display above each key.
You select an option, e.g. operation mode or parameter, by entering the MENU state
using soft key 2, and then by scrolling the
option is highlighted and then pressing the relevant soft key. With the right soft key
you usually enter a mode, accept an option or save the changes. The left soft key is
used to cancel the made changes and return to the previous operation level.
The Control Panel has ten options in the Main menu: Parameters, Assistants,
Changed Par, Fault Logger, Time & Date, Parameter Backup, I/O Settings, Reference
Edit, Drive Info and Parameter Change Log. In addition, the control panel has an
Output mode, which is used as default. Also, when a fault or alarm occurs, the panel
goes automatically to the Fault mode showing the fault or alarm. You can reset the
fault in the Output or Fault mode. The operation in these modes and options is
described in this chapter.
Initially, the panel is in the Output mode, where you
can start, stop, change the direction, switch between
local and remote control, modify the reference value
and monitor up to three actual values. To do other
tasks, go first to the Main menu and select the
appropriate option on the menu. The status line (see
section Status line
