8.3 Local Control vs. Remote Control
The ACS880+N5350 is designed so that it can be run via keypad control (Local) or via the terminal strip or network
communications (Remote). The Local/Remote Control can be changed by using the Local/Remote key on the keypad.

8.3.1 Local Control
The control commands are given from the control panel keypad or from a PC equipped with Drive composer when the drive
is set to local control. Speed control is available for local control.
Local control is mainly used during commissioning and maintenance. The control panel always overrides the external control
signal sources when used in local control. Thermal and Vibration signals are still active.
By default the drive will fault if there is a control panel or PC tool communication break. See software manual if desired
function is to be changed in parameter 49.05 (communication loss action).
8.3.2 Remote Control
When the drive is in remote control, control commands are given through:
• the I/O terminals (digital and analog inputs), or optional I/O extension modules
or
• an optional eldbus adapter module
The source for the Start/Stop and Speed Reference commands is selected using control operating modes. See Chapter 9
for available operating mode congurations.
