Control macros

Contents of this chapter

This chapter describes the intended use, operation and default control connections of
the application. At the end of chapter there are tables showing those parameter
default values that are not the same for all macros.

General

Control macros are sets of default parameter values suitable for a certain control
configuration. When starting up the drive, the user typically selects the best-suited
control macro as a starting point, then makes any necessary changes to tailor the
settings to their purpose. This usually results in a much lower number of user edits
compared to the traditional way of programming a drive.
Control macros can be selected in the Primary settings menu: Menu - Primary
settings - Macro or with parameter
Note: All macros are made for scalar control
except ABB standard which exists in two
versions. If you want to use vector control, do
as follows:
• Select the macro.
• Check nominal values of the motor: Menu -
Primary settings - Motor - Nominal
values.
• Change motor control mode to vector: Menu
- Primary settings - Motor - Control mode, and follow the instructions (see the
figure on the right).
