Connecting the Operator Station
The Operator Station is a plug-in MMI (Man-Machine Interface) option that allows full use of
the Converter’s features.
It provides local control of the Converter, monitoring, and complete access for application
programming.
Insert the Operator Station into the front of the Converter (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 Converter” - Fitting
the Remote 6901 Operator Station.
Controlling the Operator Station
On power-up, a calibration message is displayed. This is quickly replaced by a default Welcome
screen showing the product description and Product Code (an example code is shown in the
figure above). This 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.
