AF-600 FP High Power Operating Instructions
Function
Parameters used to program the keypad including: selection of language; selection of which
variables are displayed at each position in the display (e.g. static duct pressure or condenser
water return temperature can be displayed with the setpoint in small digits in the top row and
feedback in large digits in the centre of the dispay); enabling/disabling of the keypad keys/
buttons; passwords for the keypad; upload and download of commissioned parameters to/from
the keypad and setting the built in clock.
Parameters used to configure the basic setup of the drive, including basic accel/decel times,
frequency and speed limits, maximum and minimum reference etc.
Parameters used to program the functions of all digital inputs, digital outputs, relay outputs,
pulse inputs and pulse outputs for terminals on the control card and all option cards.
Parameters used to configure drive frequency settings, including jump frequencies and jog
speed.
Parameters used to configure the frequency converter for the specific application and motor
including: open or closed loop operation; type of application such as compressor, fan or
centrifual pump; motor nameplate data; auto-tuning of the drive to the motor for optimum
performance; flying start (typically used for fan applications) and motor thermal protection.
Parameters used to configure additional drive functions. Infrequently used parameters can be
found here.
Parameters used to program the functions associated with all analog inputs and analog outputs
for the terminals on the control card and General Purpose I/O option (OPCGPIO) (note: For
Analog I/O option OPCAIO, see parameter group AO-00) including: analog input live zero
timeout function (which for example can be used to command a cooling tower fan to operate at
full speed if the condenser water return sensor fails); scaling of the analog input signals (for
example to match the analog input to the mA and pressure range of a static duct pressure
sensor); filter time constant to filter out electrical noise on the analog signal which can
sometimes occur when long cables are installed; function and scaling of the analog outputs (for
example to provide an analog output representing motor current or kW to an analog input of a
DDC controller) and to configure the analog outputs to be controlled by the BMS via a high
level interface (HLI) (e.g. to control a chilled water valve) including ability to define a default
value of these outputs in the event of the HLI failing.
Parameters used to configure special functions of the frequency converter including: kinetic
back-up function (especially useful for critical applications in semi-conductor installations where
performance under mains dip/mains loss is important); mains imbalance protection; automatic
reset (to avoid the need for a manual reset of Alarms); energy optimisation parameters (which
typically do not need changing but enable fine tuning of this automatic function (if necessary)
ensuring the frequency converter and motor combination operate at their optimum efficiency at
full and partial load conditions) and auto-derating functions (which enable the frequency
converter to continue operation at reduced performance under extreme operating conditions
ensuring maximum up time).
Parameters used for configuring and monitoring functions associated with the serial communi-
cations / high level interface to the frequency converter
Parameters used to configure the Analog I/O option (OPCAIO) including: definition of the analog
input types (e.g. voltage, Pt1000 or Ni1000) and scaling and definition of the analog output
functions and scaling.
Parameters only applicable when a DeviceNet option is installed.
Parameters only applicable when a Profibus option is installed.
