Programming and Parameters

This chapter provides a complete listing and description of the PowerFlex
DC drive parameters. The parameters can be programmed (viewed/edited)
using a Human Interface Module (HIM). As an alternative, programming
can also be performed using DriveExplorer™ or DriveTools™ SP
(1)
software and a personal computer. Refer to
description of the LCD HIM. Refer to
diagrams.

To configure a drive to operate in a specific way, certain parameters may
need to be changed from the default value. Three types of parameters exist:
• ENUM Parameters
ENUM parameters allow a selection from two or more items. The LCD
HIM will display a text message for each item.
• Bit Parameters
Bit parameters have individual bits associated with features or
conditions. If the bit is "0", the feature is off or the condition is false. If
the bit is "1", the feature is on or the condition is true.
• Numeric Parameters
These parameters have a single numerical value and unit (i.e. 0.1 Volts).
The example on the following page shows how each parameter type is
presented in this manual.

You must use DriveExplorer v5.02 or higher or DriveTools SP v4.01 or higher with a PowerFlex DC drive
specific software patch. The patch can be downloaded from
