Operator panel
An operator panel is used to commission, troubleshoot and control the converter, as well as to
back up and transfer the converter settings.
The Intelligent Operator Panel (IOP‑2) can either be snapped onto a converter, or is available
as handheld device with a connecting cable to the converter. The graphics-capable plain text
display of the IOP‑2 enables intuitive converter operation.

converter against unauthorized operation or changes to the settings, you need to prevent
access to the operator panel:

● Install the converter in a control cabinet that can be locked and lock the control cabinet after
commissioning.
