Adaptive Programming using the function blocks

Conventionally, the user can control the operation of the drive by parameters. Each
parameter has a fixed set of choices or a setting range. The parameters make the
programming easy, but the choices are limited. The user cannot customize the
operation any further. The Adaptive Program makes freer customizing possible
without the need of a special programming tool or language:
• The program is built of standard function blocks included in the drive control
program.
• The control panel is the programming tool.
• The user can document the program by drawing it on block diagram template
sheets.
The maximum size of the Adaptive Program is 15 function blocks. The program may
consist of several separate functions.

DriveAP

DriveAP is a Windows based tool for Adaptive Programming. With DriveAP it is
possible to upload the Adaptive Program from the drive and edit it on a PC.
