The ACS-AP-x control panel


The ACS-AP-x is the user interface of the inverter unit, providing the essential controls
such as Start/Stop/Direction/Reset/Reference, and the parameter settings for the control
program.
The control panel can be mounted on the cabinet door using a DPMP-01 mounting
platform (available separately). With frame R1i...R5i inverter modules, the panel can be
mounted on the panel holder on the cover of the module.
One control panel can be used to control several inverter units through a panel link
provided that each unit is equipped with panel holder or an FDPI-02 module (see page
167).
Note: A control panel is required for the commissioning of an ACS880 drive system, even
if the Drive composer PC tool is used.
For details on the control panel, see ACX-AP-x Assistant control panels User's manual
(3AUA0000085685 [English]).

Control by PC tools

There is a USB connector on the front of the panel that can be used to connect a PC to the
drive. When a PC is connected to the control panel, the control panel keypad is disabled.
