Start-Up Instructions
Chapter Content This chapter provides basic start-up procedures, including initial
adjustments and configuration of the Drive control.
Important:
1. These steps should already have been performed on a custom
Drive manufactured and shipped as an RTP unwind Drive.
2. If a Drive that has already been installed is receiving a Digital
Reference Adapter Board as an added feature, then all of the
necessary configuration links, etc. will have to be made.
3. If for any reason a given Drive loses the EE memory information,
it will also be necessary to go through the necessary software
start-up steps in order to perform the links and set defaults of the
set-up parameters. These steps will vary from one installation to
the next dependent upon the capability of the support equipment
available.
4. Should there be a need to check or download parameters to the
Drive, use of the ITS device will prove to be one of the most
efficient methods.
Procedures performed in this section include the following:
1. Establish Configuration Links between Drive and the Digital
Reference Adapter Board.
2. Program Digital Reference 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.
Read-Only Parameter – Parameter whose value cannot be changed
by any external device. Special parameter used only for the purpose
of monitoring several internal strategic variables.
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.
