Drive configuration and programming

The drive control program is divided into two parts:
• firmware program
• application program.

block library
The firmware program performs the main control functions, including speed and
torque control, drive logic (start/stop), I/O, feedback, communication and protection
functions. Firmware functions are configured and programmed with parameters.


Programming via parameters

Parameters can be set via
• the control panel, as described in chapter
• the Drive composer PC tool, as described in Drive composer user's manual
(3AUA0000094606 [English]), or
• the fieldbus interface, as described in chapters
embedded fieldbus interface (EFB)
adapter.
All parameter settings are stored automatically to the permanent memory of the drive.
However, if an external +24 V DC power supply is used for the drive control unit, it is
highly recommended to force a save by using parameter
before powering down the control unit after any parameter changes.
If necessary, the default parameter values can be restored by parameter
Parameter restore.


Application programming

The functions of the firmware program can be extended with application
programming. (A standard drive delivery does not include an application program.)
