Initial Operator Interface Configuration Chapter 4
Configuring the Interface General Operation
Screen contents vary depending on the operation. You can access most operations
using the function keys on the bottom of the screen. Function keys generally
change from one screen to the next, although some functions are consistent across
multiple screens:
• F1 - Help: This operation is available on every screen, even if the softkey is
not available. Help is context-sensitive, providing content specific to the
current screen.
• F6 - Alarms: Always displays the Alarm Summary screen. A new alarm will
cause this key to flash.
• F8 - Next Page: Navigates screens containing multiple pages.
• F9 - Previous Page: Navigates screens containing multiple pages.
• F10 - Exit: Returns to the previous screen.
Operator Interface Power-up Sequence
When you start or reset the operator interface, it performs two operations:
• Linking to Drive: The interface establishes communications with the drive
communications board. The screen shows information about the software
product contained in the PowerFlex operator interface, such as:
– - software part number and revision level
– - date and time stamp of program creation
• Obtaining Drive Database: the interface is downloading the drive
database. This process is optional; abort the process by pressing any key on
the interface. Obtaining the entire database does speed up subsequent
operations, since relevant portions of the database are available in flash
memory. (Otherwise, the interface continues to access the drive database
directly, which significantly slows the first operation requiring that data.
Subsequent operations requiring the same data are not affected). Aborting
the download will not affect portions of the database already obtained.
Once the interface downloads the database, it will boot in one of two modes,
depending on how the current drive configuration:
a) On an unconfigured drive, the operator interface boots in 'Setup Wizard'
mode. Until you complete the configuration, this is the default start-up mode.
You can cancel the wizard at any time by pressing the appropriate softkey.
b) On a configured drive, the top-level menu appears after start-up. You can
access the Setup Wizard at any time from the Setup menu.
