Basic Features
This section details some of the basic features available in Menu 0 for the F600 to assist with a Pump
application. For a complete feature list please see the F600 User Guide.
Auto Reset Attempts
In the event of a drive trip during operation e.g. Dry Well trip, the drive can automatically reset itself a
user defined number of times after a delay period. The trip log parameters in Pr 0.078 to Pr 0.080
may be used to see which trip has occurred.
Pipe Filling
In a pump application, when starting the drive in Auto mode but prior to automatic running, the drive
may optionally run a fixed reference pipe filling routine. The routine has a time limit, (maximum time),
to run which can be superseded by either reaching a PID feedback threshold or if flow is indicated
from a hardware flow switch. When the routine completes, the system moves to Auto Run where the
PID controls the motor speed.
Dry Well / Low load detection
In a pump application, e.g. pumping from a well or tank, the level of liquid being pumped may drop
below the level of the pump suction pipe. In this situation the pump should be slowed down or
stopped to prevent pump wear. Dry Well Low Load detection automatically checks for this condition
and can respond in a user selected way.
Parameter Description
Pr 0.044 Number of Auto-reset Attempts.
Pr 0.045 Auto-reset Delay. This is the time in seconds after a trip to action an auto-reset.
Parameter Description
Pr 0.046
Pipe Fill Mode. Disabled (0), pipe filling is disabled. Feedback Level (1), pipe filling is
stopped when the main process PID level is reached. Flow Switch (2), pipe filling is
stopped when Flow Switch Input Pr 29.066 = On(1) indicating flow.
Pr 0.047 Pipe Fill Reference. The frequency or speed used while pipe filling.
Pr 0.048
Pipe Fill Maximum Time. The maximum time in seconds that the pipe fill routine will run for.
If the feedback level or flow switch indicates liquid in the pipe, the drive switches to auto
run.
Pr 0.049
Pipe Fill Threshold. This is the PID feedback level that must be reached to terminate the
pipe fill routine and not wait for Pipe Fill Maximum Time Pr 0.048 to elapse.
Parameter Description
Pr 0.050
Dry Well Low Load Threshold. This is the load percentage below which a Dry Well
condition is detected. This is typically set 10% above the percentage load value seen in
Percentage Load Pr 0.070 when the pump runs dry. Dry well is detected when the load
threshold is reached and the drive has reached the maximum reference, as indicated by
At Maximum Drive Reference Pr 29.084.
