6. USING MACRO MODE AND GETTING A QUICK START
A special Macro programming mode is available with the Vacon 500X series of AC drives. The Macro
programming mode allows you to customize quickly the most common parameters for your application in
the Level 1 group. Macro mode provides special parameters for activating modes of operation by macros,
program sequencer, or serial communications.
Parameters important to the drive’s operation are also included in Macro mode. Although these
parameters are also available with standard programming, the Macro mode allows you to easily configure
the drive with essential parameters.
Macros configure what advanced functions will be active in the drive. A macro can also change the default
or visibility of a parameter within the programming levels. Parameter 490 (Appl Macro) configures what
macro will be active in the drive. Parameter 491 (Seq Appl) configures the visibility of sequencer
parameters and the time base of the sequencer. Parameter 492 (SIO Visible) configures whether or not SIO
parameters are visible. (See
page 53 .)
6.1 Entering Macro Mode
To enter the Macro mode, press and hold the PROGram key for more than three seconds. The drive then
enters Macro mode and displays “Hold PROG for Macro Mode.” Following is a list of the different macros
available and their features. A description of parameters used in Macro mode begins on page 53.
Factory The Factory macro provides a simple way to restore the factory default parameter listings.
Fan The Fan macro provides a basic set-up for Fan applications. Parameters such as the V/Hz curve and
terminal strip operation are available in Level 1 programming.
Fan w/ PI The Fan w/ PI macro allows for a simple set-up for Fan applications requiring process control.
Parameters such as the V/Hz curve, terminal strip operation, and PI configuration parameters are
available in Level 1 programming.
Pump The Pump macro provides a basic set-up for Pump applications. Parameters such as the V/Hz
curve and terminal strip operation are available in Level 1 programming.
Pump w/ PI The Pump w/ PI macro allows for a simple set-up for Pump applications requiring process control.
Parameters such as the V/Hz curve, terminal strip operation, and PI configuration parameters are
available in Level 1 programming.
Vector The Vector macro activates the sensorless vector control algorithm. When an operation requires
low speed and high torque, this macro should be activated.
6.2 Description of Parameters Used in Macro Mode
Parameters 490, 491, and 492 are used only in the Macro mode. Parameters 509, 510, 511, 801, and 810
are used in both Macro and Level 2 programming. Vacon 500x parameters are described in “Vacon 500X
Parameters” on page 61 of this manual.
490 Appl Macro Default: Factory
Range: n/a
Macro
This parameter configures what macro will be active in the drive. A macro will change a default or visibility of
a parameter.
The following data values may be assigned to this parameter:
Macro Description
Factory Provides a simple way to restore factory default parameter listings.
Fan Provides a basic set-up for Fan applications, including V/Hz curve and terminal
strip operation in Level 1 programming.
Fan w/PI
Provides a simple set-up for Fan applications that require process control.
Parameters such as V/Hz curve, terminal strip operation, and PI
configuration are available in Level 1 programming.
Pump
Provides a basic set-up for Pump applications, including V/Hz curve and
terminal strip operation in Level 1 programming.
Pump w/PI
Provides a simple set-up for Pump applications requiring process control.
Parameters such as V/Hz curve, terminal strip operation, and PI
configuration are available in Level 1 programming.
Vector
Activates the sensorless vector control algorithm. When an operation requires low
speed and high torque, this macro should be activated. Note that when you select
Vector mode, the drive automatically runs the Motor RS Measurements
when leaving Program mode.
491 Seq Appl
Default: Disabled
Range: n/a
