StartĆUp
Chapter Objectives
This chapter will provide basic procedures that include initial adjustments
and configuration of drive control. Procedures you will perform in this
chapter include the following:
S Establish Configuration Links between Drive and Discrete Board.
S Program Discrete Adapter Set-Up Parameters.
Terminology
Parameter – Memory location used to store drive set-up data, or to
monitor real time input or output information. Each parameter is assigned a
name and number which does not change.
Set-Up Parameter – Parameter whose values do not change during normal
operation of the drive. The Set-Up Parameters are used for scaling and
calibration of specific drive functions which are application and/or
hardware dependent.
Configuration Parameter – Parameter whose value may be changed
during normal operation of the drive. The Configuration Parameters are
used to input reference and feedback information to the drive, and to
provide monitoring points for control signals. The Configuration
Parameters are one of two types, termed source or sink parameters. Refer
to the Bulletin 1395 Installation and Maintenance manual for a detailed
description of source and sink parameters.
Source – Parameter which may be used as a source of data for input to a
sink.
Sink – Parameter which acts as an input of data from a source.
Linking – The process of connecting a Sink parameter to a Source
parameter.
