Start-Up Instructions
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 detailed description of
Source and Sink Parameters.
Source
Parameter which may be used as a source of data for output 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.
Preliminary Steps
These steps should already have been accomplished in a Custom
Drive Manufactured and Shipped as an RTP Unwind Drive.
1. If a Drive that has already been installed is receiving a Digital
Adapter Board as an added feature then all of the necessary
configuration links, etc. will have to be made.
2. If a given Drive for any reason loses the EE memory information,
it will also be necessary to go through the necessary software
steps in order to perform the links and set defaults of the setup
Parameters. These steps will vary from one installation to the next
dependent upon the capability of the support equipment available.
3. 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.
