5 About Drive Programming

5.1 Introduction

The drive is programmed for its application functions using
parameters. Parameter are accessed by pressing either
[Quick Menu] or [Main Menu] on the keypad. (See 4 User
Interface for details on using the keypad function keys.)
Parameters may also be accessed through a PC using the
DCT-10 (see 5.6 Remote Programming with ).
The quick menu is intended for initial start up and detailed
instructions for common drive applications . Step-by-step
5 5
instructions are provided. These instructions enable the
user to walk through the parameters used for
programming applications in their proper sequence. Data
entered in a parameter can change the options available in
the parameters following that entry. The quick menu
presents easy guidelines for getting most systems up and
running.
The main menu accesses all parameters and allows for
advanced drive applications.

5.2 Programming Example

Here is an example for programming the drive for a
common application in open loop using the quick menu.
•
This procedure programs the drive to receive a
0-10V DC analog control signal on input terminal
53
•
The drive will respond by providing 20-50Hz
output to the motor proportional to the input
signal (0-10V DC = 20-50Hz)
This is a common pump or fan application.
Press [Main Menu] twice and select the following
parameters using the navigation keys to scroll to the titles
and press [OK] after each action.
