4.2.1 Default Function Changes for Digital Inputs and Outputs   
Default settings for some of H1- and H2- parameters have been modified for the A1000 drive for crane applications. The 
changes are summarized in the following tables. Shaded cells show changes from standard A1000 drive. 
Digital Inputs 
Parameter No.  Description  A1000 Standard Drive    A1000 Crane Drive   
H1-03  Terminal S3 Function  24 – External Fault  24 – External Fault 
H1-04  Terminal S4 Function  14 – Fault Reset  14 – Fault Reset 
H1-05  Terminal S5 Function  3 – Multi-Step Speed Reference 1  0 – Brake release Check 
H1-06  Terminal S6 Function  4 – Multi-Step Speed Reference 2  3 – Multi-Step Speed Reference 1 
H1-07  Terminal S7 Function  6 – Jog Frequency Reference Select  4 – Multi-Step Speed Reference 2 
H1-08  Terminal S8 Function  8 – External Baseblock N.O.  9 – External Baseblock N.C. 
Digital Outputs 
Parameter No.  Description  A1000 Standard Drive    A1000 Crane Drive 
H2-01  Terminal M1-M2 Function  0 – During RUN  21 – Brake Release Command 
H2-02  Terminal M3-M4 Function  1 – Zero Speed  0 – During RUN 
H2-03  Terminal M5-M6 Function  2 – Speed Agree  2 – Speed Agree 
Some digital input, digital output, and analog input functions were replaced with new ones or deleted. For a complete list 
of the I/O functions that are available in the A1000 crane drive see section 5.6. 
4.3 Operating Without a Brake Sequence
The A1000 crane drive is configured by default to operate with an external brake sequence. If you wish to operate the 
drive without an external brake sequence, the following parameters should be changed from their default values to those 
listed below. 
Parameter No.  Description (units)  Default  New Value  Comments 
S1-03  Brake Delay Frequency (Hz)  3.0  0.0  Closed Loop Vector default: 0.0 Hz 
S1-04  Brake Delay Time (s)  0.30  0.00  Closed Loop Vector default: 0.00 s 
S1-09  FWD Torque Compensation (%)  50  0 
Parameter in OLV and CLV only. 
Closed Loop Vector default: 0 % 
S1-14  Slip Prevention Frequency (Hz)  3.0  0.0  Closed Loop Vector default: 0.0 Hz 
S1-15  Slip Prevention Time (s)  0.30  0.00  Closed Loop Vector default: 0.00 s 
S1-16 
SE1 Detection Time (s) 
0.30  0.00 
S1-17  SE2 Detection Time (s)  1.00  0.00 
S1-18  SE3 Detection Time (s)  0.50  0.00 
S1-19  SE4 Detection Time (s)  0.50  0.00 
See Section 7.1.6 
Note: 
Although the Dwell function was deleted from the A1000 crane drive software, it is possible to implement it using the 
parameters in the S1 group as listed below. Be aware that it may be necessary to modify other parameters in the S1 
group in addition to those listed below in order to avoid an oPE22 parameter setting fault. For more information on this 
fault see section 8 of this manual. 
S1-03  Dwell Reference at Start 
S1-04  Dwell Time at Start 
S1-14  Dwell Reference at Stop 
S1-15  Dwell Time at Stop 
When implementing the Dwell function in this manner, the Brake Release Check function should not be set to any of the 
multi-function digital inputs. It is also important to note that if the output frequency is less than the level set in S1-14, the
