5.5 Programming
5.5.1 Accessing Parameters
When PROG (or SHIFT+PROG) is pressed after application of power or a fault reset, parameter 201,
Input Mode, is always the first parameter displayed. Figure 5-3 shows a typical programming
display.
Figure 5-3: Typical Programming Display
If a different parameter is accessed and Program mode is exited, that parameter is the first one
displayed the next time Program mode is entered. The drive remembers a different “last parameter
accessed” for Levels 1 and 2.
5.5.2 Changing the Display Scroll Rate
Pressing the INC or DEC (up or down arrow) keys causes the display to scroll at a slow rate. To
increase the scroll rate, hold the SHIFT key at the same time that you press the INC key. Release
the SHIFT key to return to the slow scroll rate. This procedure works in all programming and
operation modes.
5.5.3 Programming Procedure
To program the value of a parameter, follow these steps:
1. Press the Program (PROG) key to enter Level 1 Program mode. To enter Level 2, press
SHIFT+PROG. The P indicator will appear on the display. You must enter one level of
programming or the other; you cannot switch between levels without exiting Program mode.
Note that some parameters cannot be changed in Run mode. For example, if you wish to program
parameter 201, Input Mode, you must stop the drive before beginning programming. Refer to the
Parameter Summary table at the front of this manual to see which parameters cannot be changed in
Run mode (they appear as shaded entries in the table).
2. Press the INC or DEC (up or down arrow) keys to access the desired parameter.
3. Press the SHIFT key to allow the value to be changed. The P indicator starts to blink.
4. Press the INC or DEC key to select the new value.
5. Press the ENTER key to store the new value. The display shows “Stored” for one second.
6. Press PROG to exit Program mode, or the INC or DEC keys to select a new parameter.
To program a text parameter, follow these steps:
1. Like other parameters, text parameters use the INC/DEC (up/down arrow) and SHIFT keys
for editing. A line appears under the character that you are changing.
2. Press SHIFT to advance to the next character that you want to change.
3. Use the INC or DEC keys to change the character value.
4. Press ENTER to store the edited text.
