Operator Interface Power-up
Sequence

When the operator interface is powered up or reset, it will go

through two

noticeable operations:

1. Linking to Drive

- During this phase the operator interface is establishing

communications with the drive communications board. The screen will
also show information about the software product contained in the
PowerFlex operator interface, such as:
a. software part number and revision level
b. date and time stamp of program creation

2. Obtaining Drive Database

- During this phase, the database of

information about the drive is obtained from the drive. Obtaining the
database at this point in time is optional and may be aborted by pressing
any key on the operator interface. Obtaining the entire database does
however speed up subsequent operations since relevant portions of the
database do not have to be obtained. (Without obtaining the entire
database, the operator interface will access portions of the drive database as
required. This slows down the first access to the operation that requires the
data. Subsequent operations requiring the same data are not affected).
Aborting the download will not affect portions of the database already
obtained.

Once the database has been obtained, the operator interface will start up in one
of two modes, depending on to what degree the drive has previously been
configured:

1.

On an unconfigured drive, the operator interface will enter the 'Setup
Wizard' mode. Until the user has gone through the entire 'Setup Wizard',
this will be the default mode to power up in. The 'Setup Wizard' can be
cancelled at any time by pressing the appropriate softkey.

2.

Once the drive has been configured through the 'Setup Wizard', the Top
Level Menu, will be displayed from this point forward. The 'Setup Wizard'
can be re-entered via the Setup Menu.

Top Level Menu

This screen (

Figure 77

) represents the main menu from which all other screens

(and the operations which they perform) are activated. To activate an operation,
simply press the function key corresponding to the 'Softkey' shown on the screen.
A screen for that operation will be displayed. Refer to the section entitled "How
To:" for information about the various operations which may be performed.

The screen identifies the drive product to which the operator interface is attached
and its overall state of operation. Four digital meters show four selected
parameters located in the drive. A Hobbs meter displays the number of hours that
the drive has been running.
