The Keypad
6-1
DC590+ Series DC Digital Drive
Connecting the 6911 Keypad
The Keypad is a plug-in MMI (Man-Machine Interface) option that allows full use of the drive’s features.
It provides local control of the drive, monitoring, and complete access for application programming.
Insert the Keypad into the front of the drive (replacing the blank cover and plugging into the RS232 programming port); or mount it up to 3 metres
away using the optional panel mounting kit with connecting lead.
Refer to Chapter 3: “Installing the Drive” - Remote Mounting the Keypad.
On power-up, a calibration message is displayed. This is quickly replaced by a default
Welcome screen showing the product description and
Product Code.
The Welcome screen is at the top of the menu system.
The drive can operate in one of two modes:
Remote Control Mode : Allowing complete access for application programming
Local Control Mode : Providing local control and monitoring of the drive
Local control keys are inactive when Remote control mode is selected and vice versa,
with one exception; the
L/R key toggles Local or Remote control modes and so is always
operative.
The drive always initialises in Remote control mode, and with the Local control keys
inactive, it is unlikely that the motor could be started accidentally.
