2. Introduction 

 

The Parameter writer “PWU003Z” is a standalone tool for transferring configuration files to inverters with their power on 

or off. 

 

•The Parameter writer is used to set inverter parameters by loading a configuration file onto the inverter(s).   
(Inverters must have the same reference. If the reference is not the same, the fault occurs before the data is 

transfered.). The parameters can be set with them before they are powered up. 

 

 

 

 
Duplicating or generating configuration files

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A) The inverter's configuration file is copied to the Parameter writer's SD card. See the procedure on section 5.1. 

B) The configuration file is generated by PCM software then transferred to the Parameter writer's SD card. See the 

procedure on section 5.1. 

1) The user selects and then transfers the configuration file from the Parameter writer to the inverter. See the procedure 

on section 5.2. 

2) Once the initial transfer is complete, the user can use Quick Store mode, which allows the Parameter writer to load the 

same update file on several inverters in succession. (See section 5.3) 

 

 

 

All representations of the VF-nC3 inverter throughout this document are given by way of example only to symbolize an 

inverter.  

 

All bold text in the manual (e.g. 

"Main menu / Action"

) corresponds to the messages displayed on the Parameter writer 

screen.
