Home view
The main view of the control panel is called the Home view. In the Home view, you
can monitor the status of the drive, such as its speed, torque or power. The Home
view has one or more pages, each of which can display up to three signals.
The number of pages and the signals shown on each page are customizable, and the
Home view configuration is saved to the drive whenever you change it. The maximum
total number of signals displayed varies from 9 to 21, depending on the drive. In the
example below, three Home view pages are used, showing different display formats.
Each application macro and user set has a default Home view configuration. When
you select an application macro or restore a user set, the Home view configuration
changes accordingly. There is a default Home view configuration in each drive, which
can be restored in the
Primary settings (page 45 ) or Settings (page 44 ) menu.
Note: The Menu varies based on the drive/device to which the panel is connected.
The Home view opens automatically when you power up the drive. The Home view is
also displayed from the Options menu or the main Menu if no key is pressed for
10 minutes.
Tip: You can return to the Home view from any view except special screens by
holding down the left softkey
.
