Status line
The top line of the LCD display shows the basic status information of the drive. 
 Operation
You operate the control panel with menus and keys. The keys include two context-
sensitive soft keys, whose current function is indicated by the text shown in the 
display above each key.
You select an option, eg operation mode or parameter, by scrolling the   and 
 arrow keys until the option is highlighted (in reverse video) and then pressing 
the relevant soft key. With the right soft key 
 you usually enter a mode, accept an 
option or save the changes. The left soft key 
 is used to cancel the made changes 
and return to the previous operation level.
The Assistant control panel has nine panel modes: Output mode, Parameter mode, 
Assistants mode, Changed parameters mode, Fault logger mode, Time and date 
mode, Parameter backup mode, IO settings mode and Fault mode. The operation in 
the first eight modes is described in this chapter. When a fault or alarm occurs, the 
panel goes automatically to the Fault mode showing the fault or alarm. You can reset 
it in the Output or Fault mode (see chapter Fault tracing on page 311).
