The selection of the control place determines from where the AC drive takes the start and
stop commands. All the control places have a parameter for the selection of the frequency
reference source. The Local control place is always the keypad. The Remote control place is
I/O or Fieldbus. You can see the current control place on the status bar of the display.
It is possible to use I/O A, I/O B and Fieldbus as Remote control places. I/O A and Fieldbus
have the lowest priority. You can make a selection of them with P3.2.1 (Remote Control
Place). I/O B can bypass the Remote control places I/O A and Fieldbus with a digital input.
You can make a selection of the digital input with parameter P3.5.1.7 (I/O B Control Force).
The keypad is always used as a control place when the control place is Local. Local control
has higher priority than Remote control. For example, when you are in Remote control, if
parameter P3.5.1.7 bypasses the control place with a digital input, and you make a selection
of Local, Keypad becomes the control place. Use the FUNCT button or P3.2.2 Local/Remote
to change between the Local and Remote control.
