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.

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:
 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 Drive.
