The Menu System
The menu system is divided into a `tree’ structure with 8 “MENU LEVEL” main menus.
Consider these main menus to be at Menu Level 1 (refer to the Menu System Map on the next
page). Parameters contained in Menu Level 1 are the most frequently used, as you descend the
menu levels the parameters are less frequently used.
The Operator Station has selectable “viewing levels” which
can restrict the view of the menu system, refer to “
Menu
Viewing Levels”, page 5-
5.
Below is a simple description of the main menus:
• DIAGNOSTICS: a view of important diagnostic
parameters contained in the FUNCTION BLOCKS menu.
• SETUP PARAMETERS: contains all the function block
parameters for programming your application, including
parameters for tuning the Converter.
• PASSWORD: contains all the Password parameters
required for security.
• ALARM STATUS: a view of the alarm diagnostic
parameters contained in the FUNCTION BLOCKS menu.
• MENUS: allows full or reduced menu displays on the
Operator Station.
• PARAMETER SAVE: Save the application/parameters.
• SERIAL LINKS: contains all the parameters for external
communications set-up and operation.
• SYSTEM: contains all the parameters for I/O
configuration. Also contains the Reserved Menu.

Navigating the Menu System
On power-up, the MMI defaults into the Welcome screen.
Press the M key to skip the timeout and move immediately to the top of the menu system. Press
the M key again to display the first menu level.
The menu system can be thought of as map which
is navigated using the four keys shown opposite.
Keys E and M navigate through the menu levels.
The up (↑) and down (↓) keys scroll through the
Menu and Parameter lists.
The keys will repeat if you hold them down. This
is an easy way to step through and view a menu’s
contents.
Refer to “
The Menu System Map” to see how the menu is mapped.
HINT: Remember that because the Menu and Parameter lists are looped, the ↑ key can
quickly move you to the last Menu or Parameter in the loop.
