Operational Data Indicator (Operational)
The start release is done by actuating one of the digital inputs 
with +24V:
●
Terminal 8: FWD = Clockwise rotating field (Forward Run)
●
Terminal 9: REV = Counterclockwise rotating field 
(Reverse Run)
The control commands are interlocked (exclusive OR) and 
require a rising voltage edge.
The start release (FWD, REV) is shown in the top status line 
(LCD display) by the arrow ( ) switching from STOP to RUN.
The frequency is shown with a minus sign with a start 
release with a left rotating field (REV).
A controlled run-down can be set using parameter P6.8 
(STOP function) (P6.8 = 1).
The relevant deceleration time is set in parameter P6.6. The 
acceleration time are set in parameter P6.5.
Information on settings and the description of the 
parameters used here are provided in “Drives Control (P6)” 
on Page 82.
Operation (RUN) via Control Signal Terminal (I/O) with 
Left Rotating Field (REV) (for example, –12.34 Hz)
You can now set the output frequency (0–60 Hz) and 
therefore the speed of the connected AC motor (0–n
motor
) 
with the setpoint value potentiometer via terminal 2 
(proportional voltage signal 0–10V). The change in output 
frequency here is delayed based on the specified 
acceleration and deceleration ramps. In the factory settings, 
these times are set to 3 seconds.
The acceleration and deceleration ramps specify the 
time change for the output frequency: from zero to 
f
max 
(FS = 60 Hz) or from f
max
 back to zero.
The figure on Page 54 shows a good example of the 
process, if the release signal (FWD/REV) is switched on and 
the maximum setpoint voltage (+10V) is applied. The speed 
of the motor follows the output frequency depending on the 
load and moment of inertia (slip), from zero to n
max
.
If the release signal (FWD, REV) is switched off during 
operation, the inverter is blocked immediately (STOP). The 
motor comes to an uncontrolled stop (see [1] in the figure on 
Page 54).

By actuating the OK button, you can set the display 
mode to stay on the value for the output frequency 
(0.00 Hz).
OK
The stop command can also be given via the STOP 
button on the operating unit. The STOP button is 
active in all operating modes. It can be disabled with 
parameter (P6.16 = 0).
