1. Select an option, eg, operation mode or parameter, by entering the MENU state
using soft key 2.
2. Scroll the and arrow keys until the option is highlighted.
3. Press the relevant soft key.
4. Use the right soft key to enter a mode.
5. Accept an option or save the changes.
6. Use the left soft key to cancel the changes made and return to the previous
operation level.
Main menu
The panel provides ten options in the Main menu:
• Parameters
• Assistants
• Changed Par
• Fault Logger
• Time & Date
• Parameter Backup
• I/O Settings
• Reference Edit
• Drive Info
• Parameter Change Log.
In addition, the panel has an Output mode, which is used as default. In this mode, you
can start, stop, change the direction, switch between local and remote control, modify
the reference value and monitor up to three actual values.
For other tasks, first go to the Main menu and select the appropriate option on the
menu. The status line (see Status line on page 89) shows the name of the current
menu, mode, item or state.
