3.4 Main Tab operation
The Main Tab is used to control the ASD and monitor the basic operating conditions. The user can start
and stop the motor, toggle between local and remote mode, select the motor direction of rotation, and
change the ASD speed reference.
Starting the motor – Press the RUN key. Initiating a Run command from the keypad is valid only
when the ASD keypad is in Local mode, and the display shows the Main Tab.
Stopping the motor – Press the STOP key. Initiating a Stop command can be performed from any
display tab while the ASD keypad is in Local mode.
Toggle between Local and Remote mode – LOCAL/REMOTE selection is performed from the Main
Tab with the motor stopped. Press and hold the LOCAL/REMOTE key for approximately 2 seconds.
Remote mode has been enabled when the LOCAL/REMOTE LED is no longer illuminated and the
status in the lower left corner of the Main Tab indicates Remote.
Change motor direction – Fwd/Rev rotation selection is performed from the Main Tab with the motor
stopped. To change the direction of rotation, press and hold the ENTER Key for approximately 2
seconds. If a non-zero speed reference has been applied, the text on the bottom center of the
display will change from FWD to REV or vice-versa, and the numeric reference will change sign. If
the speed reference is zero, the text will show FWD until a reference has been applied.
Change speed reference – The ASD speed reference is modified by pressing the UP or DOWN keys,
or turning the encoder either clockwise or counter clockwise. The speed reference will display a
negative number when reverse (REV) has been selected. The ASD speed reference can be modified
via the keypad in local mode only, however the display will indicate the speed reference in both local
and remote modes.
