User Level
The User Level setting is a filter for the parameters that are seen in the Select Drive Parameters list. If set to Easy, the
parameters used in most basic applications will be seen while the more advanced parameters are hidden. If set to Detailed,
the parameters used in more advanced applications will be added to the list. If set to Too Much, then all parameters available
in the system will be seen in the list. This allows the user to select the User Level they are most comfortable with to avoid
confusion. If a parameter has been selected and the User Level is changed, then the selected parameter will remain selected.
Write Parameter
Within the Select Parameters window the user can change the value of parameters in the drive’s RAM memory. Click on a
parameter in the Parameters Displayed in Watch Window pane. Just below the pane the parameter that was selected will be
shown along with either a check box, text box or list box. The type of box is depended on the parameter selected. Enter the
new parameter value and press the
Write button.The data should change in the watch window to the new value.

status. Pressing the
Where Am I button on the PowerTools Pro toolbar creates a blue triangle that appears on the line of the
program currently being executed.
The Global Where Am I can be used for diagnostics. When the user needs to know where in a complicated program the drive
is or when the user wishes to follow the logical flow of the program.
7.4.3 Motion Status
While the drive is online, the name of the program currently running or the motion type currently running will appear in the
status bar at the bottom left corner of the PowerTools Pro window.
7.5 Diagnostic Analog Output Test Points
The drive has two 10 bit Analog Outputs which may be used for diagnostics, monitoring or control purposes. These outputs
are referred to as Channel 1 and Channel 2. With the Epsilon EP-P drive the Analog Outputs are accessed from the Analog/
Sync Output connector (J5).
The Analog Output source is assigned to the outputs on the Analog Outputs view.
