Parameters
There are hundreds of parameters that determine how the drive functions. These parameters are
programmed into the drive’s software as measurable values or options - both of which will be
referred to in this manual as
settings . While some of these parameters are associated with one
setting, others are tied to a number of possible settings.
NOTE: The terms “constant” and “parameter” have the same meaning.
Before shipping the drive, Magnetek programmed initial settings in the drive’s software so that most,
if not all, of the crane system requirements are supported. However, if it is necessary to change the
initial settings, Magnetek recommends that only qualified crane system technicians program the
drive. This can be accomplished by using the
Password and Access Level features. For more
information on these security features, see “Initialization Set-Up” on page 4-9.
The drive can be programmed to allow personnel with limited crane system knowledge to program
only certain parameters, called
User Parameters . To select these parameters, see “User
Parameters (A02-01 through 32)” on page 4-16.
Two other features to be aware of are Initialize Parameters (A01-05) and User Defaults (O02-03).
Both of these features are related and revert back to previously saved parameter settings. This is
especially helpful when a number of programming changes were made, but the previous settings
may still be needed. To program these features, see “Initialize Parameters (A01-05)” on page 4-15
and “User Defaults (O02-03)” on page 5-124.
