Control panel
The ACS-AP-W is the user interface of the drive. It provides the essential controls such as
Start/Stop/Direction/Reset/Reference, and the parameter settings for the inverter control
program.
The control panel can be removed by pulling it forward by the top edge and reinstalled in
reverse order. For the use of the control panel, see ACX-AP-x assistant control panel

drive. When a PC is connected to the control panel, the control panel keypad is disabled.
