Motorized potentiometer as setpoint source

The 'motorized potentiometer' (MOP) function simulates an electromechanical potentiometer
for entering setpoints. You can continuously adjust the motorized potentiometer (MOP) using
the control signals "raise" and "lower". The control signals are received via the digital inputs
of the inverter or from the operator panel that has been inserted.
Typical applications
● Entering the speed setpoint during the commissioning phase.
● Manual operation of the motor should the higher-level control fail.
● Entering the speed setpoint after changeover from automatic operation to manual
● Applications with largely constant setpoint and without higher-level control.
