Optidrive E3 Advanced Technical Manual Issue 05.Docx 2.6.2 Overview Optidrive E3 uses a Macro approach to simplify the configuration of the Analog and Digital Inputs. There are two key parameters which determine the input functions and drive behaviour:- P-12 – Selects the main drive control source and determines how the output frequency of the drive is primarily controlled. ...
Optidrive E3 includes an embedded function to allow the user to create their own “default” parameters. This means that if a factory reset is carried out, the drive will return to these parameters, as opposed to the Invertek Drive factory default parameters. This feature is accessed using Optitools Studio PC software only, which may be freely downloaded from the Invertek Drives website. 2.7.2.1 Creating the default parameter set In order to create the User Default settings, the following process should be used.
