5.1 Introduction

The frequency converter is programmed for its application
functions using parameters. Parameters are accessed by
pressing either [Quick Menu] or [Main Menu] on the
keypad. (See 4 User Interface for details on using the
keypad function keys.) Parameters may also be accessed
through a PC using the DCT-10.
The quick menu is intended for initial start up and detailed
instructions for common frequency converter applications .

Step-by-step instructions are provided. These instructions
enable the user to walk through the parameters used for
programming applications in their proper sequence. Data
entered in a parameter can change the options available in
the parameters following that entry. The quick menu
presents easy guidelines for getting most systems up and
running.
The main menu accesses all parameters and allows for
advanced frequency converter applications.

5.2 Programming Example

Here is an example for programming the frequency
converter for a common application in open loop using
the quick menu.
•
This procedure programs the frequency converter
to receive a 0-10 V DC analog control signal on
input terminal 53
•
The frequency converter will respond by
providing 20 to 50 Hz output to the motor
proportional to the input signal (0-10 V DC =20
to 50 Hz)
Select the following parameters using the navigation keys
to scroll to the titles and press [OK] after each action.

F-52 Minimum Reference. Set minimum internal
frequency converter reference to 0 Hz. (This sets
the minimum frequency converter speed at 0 Hz.)
F-53 Maximum Reference. Set maximum internal
frequency converter reference to 50 Hz. (This sets
the maximum frequency converter speed at 60
Hz. Note that 50 Hz is a regional variation.)
