PI control
The firmware program performs the main control functions, including position,
speed and torque control, drive logic (start/stop), I/O, feedback, communication
and protection functions. Firmware functions are configured and programmed
with parameters. The application program calculates position profiles for
movements and sends a reference to position control in the firmware for execution.
■
Programming via parameters
Parameters configure all of the standard drive operations and can be set through
• the control panel, as described in chapter Using the control panel
• the Drive Composer PC tool, as described in
Drive Composer start-up and
maintenance PC tool user’s manual
(3AUA0000094606 [English]), or
• the fieldbus interface, as described in chapters Fieldbus control through the
embedded fieldbus interface (EFB) and Fieldbus control through a fieldbus
adapter.
All parameter settings are stored automatically to the permanent memory of the
drive. However, if an external +24 V DC power supply is used for the drive control
unit, it is highly recommended to force a save by using parameter 96.7 before
powering down the control unit after any parameter changes have been made.
If necessary, the default parameter values can be restored by parameter 96.6.
■
Adaptive programming
Conventionally, the user can control the operation of the drive by parameters.
However, the standard parameters have a fixed set of choices or a setting range.
To further customize the operation of the drive, an adaptive program can be
constructed out of a set of function blocks.
