What this chapter contains
The chapter describes the operation of the control panel.
Basics of operation
You operate the control panel with menus and keys. The keys include two context-
sensitive soft keys, whose current function is indicated by the text shown in the
display above each key.
You select an option, e.g. operation mode or parameter, by entering the MENU state
using soft key 2, and then by scrolling the
and arrow keys until the option
is highlighted and then pressing the relevant soft key. With the right soft key you
usually enter a mode, accept an option or save the changes. The left soft key is used
to cancel the made changes and return to the previous operation level.
The Control Panel has ten options in the Main menu: Parameters, Assistants,
Changed Par, Fault Logger, Time & Date, Parameter Backup, I/O Settings,
Reference Edit, Drive Info and Parameter Change Log. In addition, the control panel
has an Output mode, which is used as default. Also, when a fault or alarm occurs,
the panel goes automatically to the Fault mode showing the fault or alarm. You can
reset the fault in the Output or Fault mode. The operation in these modes and
options is described in this chapter.
