Initial Checks - Parker 590+ DRV Product Manual

Introduction
The DC590+ DRV Digital drive is shipped with a default configuration designed to control a shunt or permanent magnet field DC motor. You can
adjust the drive's parameters or change its configuration to achieve optimum performance and perform specific control applications.
The drive can be tuned or configured using the drive's keypad, or by using a computer running the software package DSELite. This chapter guides the
user through the start up procedure using the keypad.
Follow these procedures only after installing and wiring your DC590+ DRV Digital drive (refer to Chapter 3). Review Chapter 6 to become familiar
with the keypad before proceeding.
When an instruction refers to a keypad procedure, the menu levels are shown as a path with double colons "::" separating each lower menu level, for
example, the parameter RAMP ACCEL TIME is shown as:
SETUP PARAMETERS::RAMPS::RAMP ACCEL TIME
