ACS550 User’s Manual 27
Start-Up
Start-Up
Start-up configures the drive. This process sets parameters that define how the drive
operates and communicates. Depending on the control and communication
requirements, the start-up process may require any or all of the following:
• The Start-up Assistant (requires the Assistant Control Panel) steps you through
the default configuration. The Start-up Assistant runs automatically at the first
power up, or can be accessed at any time using the main menu.
• Application macros can be selected to define common, alternate system
configurations, using the default settings. See
"Application Macros" on page 42.
• Additional refinements can be made using the control panel to manually select
and set individual parameters. See
"Complete Parameter Descriptions" on page
65.
Control Panels
Use a control panel to control the ACS550, to read status data, and to adjust
parameters. The ACS550 works with either of two different control panel types:
• Assistant Control Panel – This panel (described below) includes pre-programmed
assistants to automate the most common parameter setups.
• Basic control panel – This panel (described in a later section) provides basic tools
for manual entry of parameter values.
