1-1 Overview of DriveProgramming
The DriveProgramming is the simple sequence function built into the inverter.
To create sequence programs and check their status, you use the Inverter/Servo supporting tool,
CX-Drive.
Transfer (download) the created programs to the 3G3RX2 Series Inverter so that the stand-alone
inverter can perform simple sequence control.
The DriveProgramming has the following features.
• The DriveProgramming supports both flowchart and text language method programming.
• You can create a program divided into up to five tasks.
• Five tasks can be processed in parallel.
• It is possible to execute user programs externally by settings of input terminals.
• You can use the I/O terminals by allocating them to the parameters.
• The LCD Operator enables you to change the settings of the frequency, acceleration/deceleration
time, and other parameters (variables) that require on-site adjustment by specifying the user parame-
ters (UE-10 to UE-73, UF-02 to UF-32), without connecting the computer.
• Because user programs are stored in the internal EEPROM of the inverter, you can start a program
immediately after the inverter power supply is turned on.
• The LCD Operator has a built-in clock function. Therefore, you can create programs that use the LCD
Operator’s clock function. When a clock function is used, batteries (option: CR2032, 3V) are
required.
If the clock command is used in DriveProgramming, an unexpected operation may occur due to
weak battery. Take measures such as detecting a weak battery by [E042]RTC Error and stop-
ping the inverter or programs. When the LCD Operator is removed or disconnected, DrivePro-
gramming is in a waiting status by the clock command.
When the LCD Operator is removed or disconnected, DriveProgramming is in a waiting status
by the clock command.
The following table shows the main functions of the DriveProgramming Editor available in CX-Drive.
