Restoring the factory settings
When must you reset the converter to the factory settings?
Reset the converter to the factory settings in the following cases:
• The line voltage was interrupted during commissioning and you were not able to complete
commissioning.
• You can no longer trace the settings that you made during commissioning.
• You do not know whether the converter was already operational.
Restoring the factory settings when the safety functions are enabled
If you are using the integrated safety functions of the converter, e.g. "Safe Torque Off", you must
reset the safety functions separately from the remaining converter settings.
The settings of the safety functions are protected by a password.
Settings that are not changed when restoring the factory setting
The communication settings and the settings of the motor standard (IEC/NEMA) are kept when
restoring the factory setting.
5.5.1
Saving motor data for non-standard motors
Overview
When performing a factory reset on the converter, all parameter data is reset to the factory
default settings. The default settings for the motor data assumes you are using a Siemens
standard 4-pole motor.
If you are not using a Siemens standard 4-pole motor with a motor which has the same rating
as the converter, for example, a 1.5 kW converter and a 1.5 kW motor, then your application will
not work correctly after a factory reset.
When using a non-standard motor, the motor data must be saved to the converter's non-volatile
memory (EEPROM), this will ensure that even after a factory reset, your unique motor data will
not be overwritten and will remain intact.
Procedure
To save your unique motor data to the converter's EEPROM, the following procedure should be
performed:
1. Commission the converter using a Quick Commissioning wizard.
2. Ensure that a motor data identification is performed, at the completion of the commissioning
procedure.
