22 Operation principle and hardware description
One control panel can be used to control several inverter units through a panel link provided
that each unit is equipped with panel holder or an FDPI-02 module.
Note: A control panel is required for the commissioning of an ACS880 drive system, even
if the Drive composer PC tool is used.
For details on the control panel, see ACX-AP-x Assistant control panels User's manual

Control by PC tools
There is a USB connector on the front of the panel that can be used to connect a PC to the
drive. When a PC is connected to the control panel, the control panel keypad is disabled.
