3 Operation Procedure for Drive Programming

Drive Programming User’s Manual (I580-E2)
Download compiled programs to the inverter and save them in the EEPROM of the inverter.
You can start programs saved in the EEPROM after turning on the power supply, without using the tool
(CX-Drive).
Set Drive Programming Function Selection (A017) to Enabled (01 or 02) to use the Drive Programming
function. You can change the Drive Programming Function Selection (A017) even when the operation is
in progress.
*1. Multi-function input terminals for MX2 are S1 to S7, and for RX are S1 to S8.
When the Drive Programming Function Selection (A017) is set to 01 (Enabled: Start/stop via multi-func-
tion input PRG terminal), set one of Multi-function Input S1 to S7/S8 Selection to 82 (PRG). The pro-
gram is started when the multi-function input terminal set to PRG is turned ON. The program execution
continues while the PRG terminal is ON and stops when the terminal is turned OFF.
When the Drive Programming Function Selection (A017) is set to 02, the program is started right after
the setting is completed. The program will also be started automatically at next power on.
Once the program reaches “end” command after it was started and a series of processes was com-
pleted, the program is not executed unless it is restarted.
To repeat the program, create a loop program so that the program does not reach “end” command.
The downloaded Drive Programming program is saved in the EEPROM of the inverter. Therefore, after
downloading, you can start the program without using the support tool.

Function Selection
00: Disabled (default
setting)
Disables the Drive Programming function.
Programs are not executed.
If you change the setting to 00 (Disabled) during
program execution, the program will be stopped.
01: Enabled
(Start/stop via
multi-function input
PRG terminal)

multi-function input terminal
*1
which is set to 82
(PRG) is turned ON.
02: Enabled
(Start/stop at
power on/off)
Starts the Drive Programming program automati-
cally after the inverter power supply is turned on.
If you change the setting to 02 (Enabled) while the
program is stopped, the program will be started.
