Direct Mode
In the Direct mode of operation, the drive output from the ML-Drive to the motor can be
set directly. Direct mode is an open-loop mode of operation. Scaling, Acceleration/
Deceleration, and closed loop compensation (PID) software are not involved in the
Direct mode. The Direct mode is used in conjunction with the Run and Stop controls.
The Direct Setpoint (CP-06) is entered as a percentage of the ML-Drive's drive output.
To enable or disable Direct mode, use the Direct Enable (CP-61).
The factory default Control Parameters for the Direct mode are found in Table 3-2. To
modify the default parameters, refer to Table 3-3. If you are uncertain how to enter a
Control Parameter, review the
Operations: Keypad section, page 3-3.
