Figure 31. 2.
Chapter 5 - Basic Functions Managing Parameter Sets A parameter set is a file that contains parameter numbers with corresponding parameter values. A parameter set can contain all SED2 parameters or just some of the SED2 parameters. In offline mode, parameter values can be read from and written to a parameter set, similar to programming parameters for a drive that is connected in online mode.
SED2 EasyComm Startup and Operating Instructions NOTE: The valid limit values (minimum and maximum values) for certain parameters depend on the maximum output of the drive (such as rated current and voltage). In offline mode, EasyComm does not of know the maximum output of the drive. Therefore, for these parameters, you must observe the limit values that must be maintained. For example: Scroll to Parameter P0700[001]. Double-click anywhere in the P0700 row.
Chapter 5 - Basic Functions Generating Parameter Sets Based on the Factory Setting A parameter set based on the factory settings contains all of the parameters and values that are set in a drive at the factory. This also includes parameters that cannot be changed (read-only parameters). If you work with a parameter set file in the offline mode, you will see the parameter values on the EasyComm screen, which were set when the drive was shipped or a drive where the factory setting were re-established.
SED2 EasyComm Startup and Operating Instructions Free Parameterization/Direct to Parameter List Free parameterization allows you to create a list of parameters for manipulation. An example of this feature would be to make a list of parameters for a typical start-up or an application. The values are not saved, just the list. When connected during start-up, free parameterization allows you to view only those parameters you wish to change.
Chapter 5 - Basic Functions 2. In the drop down list box, select New. 3. Enter a name for the free parameterization list. 4. Enter the desired parameter numbers in the P No. column and press ENTER after each entry. Figure 33. NOTE: When entering parameter numbers, do not enter leading zeroes. For example, for parameter r0002, enter 2; for parameter P0100, enter 100. To delete a parameter, use the DELETE key. Comments can be added by simply typing text into the P No. co,umn.
SED2 EasyComm Startup and Operating Instructions Modifying a Free Parameterization Set To open an existing free parameter set, click on the name in the drop-down box.
