User Level

The User Level setting is a filter for the parameters that are seen in the Select Drive Parameters list. If set to Easy, the

parameters used in most basic applications will be seen while the more advanced parameters are hidden. If set to Detailed,

the parameters used in more advanced applications will be added to the list. If set to Too Much, then all parameters available

in the system will be seen in the list. This allows the user to select the User Level they are most comfortable with to avoid

confusion. If a parameter has been selected and the User Level is changed, then the selected parameter will remain selected.

Write Parameter

Within the Select Parameters window the user can change the value of parameters in the drive’s RAM memory. Click on a

parameter in the Parameters Displayed in Watch Window pane. Just below the pane the parameter that was selected will be

shown along with either a check box, text box or list box. The type of box is depended on the parameter selected. Enter the

new parameter value and press the Write button.The data should change in the watch window to the new value.

7.4.2 Global Where Am I Button

In the Program View, when online and executing a program or sequence of programs, the user can display current program

status. Pressing the Where Am I button on the PowerTools Pro toolbar creates a blue triangle that appears on the line of the

program currently being executed.

The Global Where Am I can be used for diagnostics. When the user needs to know where in a complicated program the drive

is or when the user wishes to follow the logical flow of the program.

7.4.3 Motion Status

While the drive is online, the name of the program currently running or the motion type currently running will appear in the

status bar at the bottom left corner of the PowerTools Pro window.

7.5 Diagnostic Analog Output Test Points

The drive has two 10 bit Analog Outputs which may be used for diagnostics, monitoring or control purposes. These outputs

are referred to as Channel 1 and Channel 2. With the Epsilon EP-P drive the Analog Outputs are accessed from the Analog/

Sync Output connector (J5).

The Analog Output source is assigned to the outputs on the Analog Outputs view.
