Function
Parameters used to program the Keypad including: selection of language; selection of which variables are
displayed at each position in the display (e.g. static duct pressure or condenser water return temperature can
be displayed with the setpoint in small digits in the top row and feedback in large digits in the centre of the
dispay); enabling/disabling of the Keypad keys/buttons; passwords for the Keypad; upload and download of
commissioned parameters to/from the Keypad and setting the built in clock.
Parameters used to configure the basic setup of the drive, including basic accel/decel times, frequency and
speed limits, maximum and minimum reference etc.
Parameters used to program the functions of all digital inputs, digital outputs, relay outputs, pulse inputs and
pulse outputs for terminals on the control card and all option cards.
Parameters used to configure drive frequency settings, including jump frequencies and jog speed.
Parameters used to configure the frequency converter for the specific application and motor including: open
or closed loop operation; type of application such as compressor, fan or centrifual pump; motor nameplate
data; auto-tuning of the drive to the motor for optimum performance; flying start (typically used for fan ap-
plications) and motor thermal protection.
Parameters used to configure additional drive functions. Infrequently used parameters can be found here.
Parameters used to program the functions associated with all analog inputs and analog outputs for the
terminals on the control card and General Purpose I/O option (OPCGPIO) (note: For Analog I/O option OPCAIO,
see parameter group AO-00) including: analog input live zero timeout function (which for example can be used
to command a cooling tower fan to operate at full speed if the condenser water return sensor fails); scaling
of the analog input signals (for example to match the analog input to the mA and pressure range of a static
duct pressure sensor); filter time constant to filter out electrical noise on the analog signal which can sometimes
occur when long cables are installed; function and scaling of the analog outputs (for example to provide an
analog output representing motor current or kW to an analog input of a DDC controller) and to configure the
analog outputs to be controlled by the BMS via a high level interface (HLI) (e.g. to control a chilled water valve)
including ability to define a default value of these outputs in the event of the HLI failing.
Parameters used to configure special functions of the frequency converter including: kinetic back-up function
(especially useful for critical applications in semi-conductor installations where performance under mains dip/
mains loss is important); mains imbalance protection; automatic reset (to avoid the need for a manual reset
of Alarms); energy optimisation parameters (which typically do not need changing but enable fine tuning of
this automatic function (if necessary) ensuring the frequency converter and motor combination operate at
their optimum efficiency at full and partial load conditions) and auto-derating functions (which enable the
frequency converter to continue operation at reduced performance under extreme operating conditions en-
suring maximum up time).
Parameters used for configuring and monitoring functions associated with the serial communications / high
level interface to the frequency converter
