When a keypad is installed, this parameter enables the forward/reverse 
key.
This parameter shows the number of the data block last transferred from 
a SMARTCARD to the drive.
* Modes 1 and 2 are not user saved, Modes 0, 3 and 4 are user saved.
N
If Pr 0.30 is equal to 1 or 2 this value is not transferred to the EEPROM 
or the drive. If Pr 0.30 is set to a 3 or 4 the value is transferred.
For further information, please refer to Chapter 11 SMARTCARD 
operation on page 149.
Pr 0.31 indicates the voltage rating of the drive.
Pr 0.32 indicates the maximum continuous Heavy Duty current rating.
Open-loop
When the drive is enabled with Pr 0.33 = 0, the output frequency starts at 
zero and ramps to the required reference. When the drive is enabled 
when Pr 0.33 has a non-zero value, the drive performs a start-up test to 
determine the motor speed and then sets the initial output frequency to 
the synchronous frequency of the motor. Restrictions may be placed on 
the frequencies detected by the drive as follows:
Closed-loop vector
The motor rated full load rpm parameter (Pr 0.45) in conjunction with the 
motor rated frequency parameter (Pr 0.46) defines the full load slip of the 
motor. The slip is used in the motor model for closed-loop vector control. 
The full load slip of the motor varies with rotor resistance which can vary 
significantly with motor temperature. When Pr 0.33 is set to 1 or 2, the 
drive can automatically sense if the value of slip defined by Pr 0.45 and 
Pr 0.46 has been set incorrectly or has varied with motor temperature. If 
the value is incorrect parameter Pr 0.45 is automatically adjusted. The 
adjusted value in Pr 0.45 is not saved at power-down. If the new value is 
required at the next power-up it must be saved by the user. 
Automatic optimisation is only enabled when the speed is above 12.5% 
of rated speed, and when the load on the motor load rises above 62.5% 
rated load. Optimisation is disabled again if the load falls below 50% of 
rated load.
For best optimisation results the correct values of stator resistance (Pr 
5.17), transient inductance (Pr 5.24), stator inductance (Pr 5.25) and 
saturation breakpoints (Pr 5.29, Pr 5.30) should be stored in the relevant 
parameters. These values can be obtained by the drive during an 
autotune (see Pr 0.40 for further details).
Rated rpm auto-tune is not available if the drive is not using external 
position/speed feedback.
The gain of the optimiser, and hence the speed with which it converges, 
can be set at a normal low level when Pr 0.33 is set to 1. If this 
parameter is set to 2 the gain is increased by a factor of 16 to give faster 
convergence.
If any number other than 0 is programmed into this parameter, user 
security is applied so that no parameters except parameter 0.49 can be 
adjusted with the keypad. When this parameter is read via a keypad it 
appears as zero.
For further details refer to section 7.9.3 User Security on page 106.
This parameter defines the communications protocol used by the 
EIA485 comms port on the drive. This parameter can be changed via the 
drive keypad, via a Solutions Module or via the comms interface itself. If 
it is changed via the comms interface, the response to the command 
uses the original protocol. The master should wait at least 20ms before 
send a new message using the new protocol. (Note: ANSI uses 7 data 
bits, 1 stop bit and even parity; Modbus RTU uses 8 data bits, 2 stops 
bits and no parity.)
