Appendix A.2 Handling the BOP 2 operator panel A.2.1 Changing settings using BOP-2 Changing settings using BOP-2 You can modify the settings of your inverter by changing the values of the its parameters. The inverter only permits changes to "write" parameters. Write parameters begin with a "P", e.g. P45.
Appendix A.2 Handling the BOP 2 operator panel A.2.2 Changing indexed parameters Changing indexed parameters For indexed parameters, several parameter values are assigned to a parameter number. Each of the parameter values has its own index. Procedure To change an indexed parameter, proceed as follows: 1.
Appendix A.2 Handling the BOP 2 operator panel A.2.3 Directly entering the parameter number and value Directly select the parameter number The BOP‑2 offers the possibility of setting the parameter number digit by digit. Precondition The parameter number is flashing in the BOP-2 display. Procedure To select the parameter number directly, proceed as follows: 1.
Appendix A.2 Handling the BOP 2 operator panel A.2.4 A parameter cannot be changed When cannot you change a parameter? The inverter indicates why it currently does not permit a parameter to be changed: Read parameters cannot The parameter can only be adjusted A parameter can only be adjusted be adjusted during quick commissioning.
Appendix A.3 The device trace in STARTER The device trace in STARTER Description The device trace graphically displays inverter signals with respect to time. Signals In two settings that are independent of one another, using you can interconnect eight signals each.

Appendix A.3 The device trace in STARTER If you require more than two settings for your measurements, you can either save the individual settings in the project or export them in *.clg format, and load or import them, if necessary. You can record individual bits of a parameter (e.g.
Page 491
Appendix A.3 The device trace in STARTER In the example, the trace starts if digital inputs DI 0 and DI 3 are high, and DI 2 is low. The state of the other digital inputs is not relevant for the trigger condition. Further, you can either set an alarm or fault as start condition.
