Linking Parameters

PowerFlex drives are capable of communicating in 7 languages; English, Spanish,
German, Italian, French, Portuguese and Dutch. All drive functions and
information displayed on an LCD HIM are shown in the selected language. The
desired language can be selected several different ways:
• On initial drive power-up, a language choice screen appears.
• The language choice screen can also be recalled at any time to change to a new
language. This is accomplished by pressing the "Alt" key followed by the
"Lang" key.
• The language can also be changed by selecting the [Language] parameter
(201). Note that this parameter is not functional when using an LED HIM.
(Vector Control Option Only)
Most parameter values are entered directly by the user. However, certain
parameters can be "linked, " so the value of one parameter becomes the value of
another. For Example: the value of an analog input can be linked to [Accel Time
2]. Rather than entering an acceleration time directly (via HIM), the link allows
the value to change by varying the analog signal. This can provide additional
flexibility for advanced applications.
Each link has 2 components:
• Source parameter – sender of information.
• Destination parameter – receiver of information.
Most parameters can be a source of data for a link, except parameter values that
contain an integer representing an ENUM (text choice). These are not allowed,
since the integer is not actual data (it represents a value).
parameters that can be destinations. All links must be established between equal
data types (parameter value formatted in floating point can only source data to a
destination parameter value that is also floating point).
Establishing A Link
Step
1. Select a valid destination parameter (see
be linked. The parameter value screen will appear.
2. Press Enter to edit the parameter. The cursor will
move to the value line.
3. Press ALT and then View (Sel). Next, press the Up or
Down Arrow to change "Present Value" to "Define
Link." Press Enter.
4. Enter the Source Parameter Number and press Enter.
The linked parameter can now be viewed two
different ways by repeating steps 1-4 and
selecting "Present Value" or "Define Link." If
an attempt is made to edit the value of a
linked parameter, "Parameter is Linked!" will
be displayed, indicating that the value is
coming from a source parameter and can not
be edited.
5. To remove a link, repeat steps 1-5 and change the
source parameter number to zero (0).
6. Press Esc to return to the group list.
