4. Basic Settings

You can implement the functions of parameter setting, display, monitoring, alarm, adjustment, etc. of the Drive in the following two ways.
 Use the Panel Operator of the Drive
 Use the ESView V4 (Recommended)

4.1 Panel Operator
4.1.1 Key Names and Functions
There is a Panel Operator on the front of the Drive, as is shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1 Diagram of Panel Operator

The names and functions of the keys on the Panel Operator are as follows

4.1.2 Basic Mode Selection
The basic modes include: Status Display Mode, Parameter Setting Mode, Utility Function Mode, and Monitor Mode.
Select a basic mode with [M] key to display the operation status, set parameters and operation references, as is shown in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2 Select a basic mode

4.1.3 Status Display Mode
Power ON the Drive and wait for a while, the Panel Operator will initially display the Servo Status.
The information displayed by the status is divided into two parts asFigure 4-3:
 The first two digits are called Bit Data, what indicates the signal states during the operation of Drive.
 The last three digits are called Code, what indicates the operation states of Driv.

Figure 4-3 Status Display

The display meaning of each segment on Bit Data are shown in Table 4-1 , and they have different meanings under Speed or Torque Control Mode and Position Control Mode

Table 4-1 Display meaning of each segment on Bit Data

The display meanings of Code are shown inTable 4-2.

Table 4-2 Display meanings of Code

NOTE: When the Drive is in Servo Alarm State, you shall check and correct the fault according to the Alarm Number Display, and then, you can press [◄] key to try to clear the current alarm.

4.1.4 Parameter Setting Mode
Functions can be selected or adjusted by setting parameters. There are two types of parameters.
 Function Parameters: the functions allocated to each digit of the Panel Operator can be selected.
 Adjustment Parameters: a parameter is set to a value within the specified range of the parameter.
For a description of the parameter settings, please refer to the section Chapter 11Parameters.
