connecting it to the drive function. Configurations can be complex with many sources and
operations or as simple as selecting a source reference and connecting it to the drive function.
Once a configuration has been developed using the function blocks to convert source
information, it is necessary to enter the configuration into the drive. Entering the configuration
into the drive requires generating a configuration list. This list is a record of all connections
starting with the beginning information and following the operations in the manner that they must
be executed until the information is connected to the drive functions required.
1.2
Configuring The GPD515
Using figure 1.2 a configuration list can be generated by starting at the source output connector
01 and recording the number within it. Next record the number within the input connector 02
that it connects. Follow the information path in the manner that it must be executed. This will
yield – 01,02,03,04. The configuration list of connector numbers must be entered into the drive
in this sequence.
This software reserves twenty-two User Parameters for the purpose of configuring the GPD515 /
G5 drive. The User Parameters are located under the Initialize menu option. Parameters A2-01
through A2-10 remain unchanged serving their standard function. Parameters A2-11 through
A2-32 are used for configuring the drive. Configuring the drive requires entering the
configuration list into these parameters.
To enter the configuration list into the drive start at A2-11 and enter the first two-connector
numbers or the first connection. Enter the next two-connector numbers or the second
connection in the next parameter A2-12 and continue this until the complete configuration list
has been entered.
Using the configuration list developed for figure 1.2, User Parameter A2-11 will be set to 0102,
which are the numbers of the first connection. A2-12 will be set to 0304, which are the numbers
of the second connection. When the drive is returned to operation the configuration list will be
executed in the sequence that it was entered. The sequence ends at the first 00 connector
number, which is the default number for the user parameters. The User Parameter connector
numbers are read in the sequence that they are entered. Each connector number results in an
operation. Input connectors store the information that is connected to them. Output connectors
execute a function to read the stored input connector information or to read information from the
drive then the associated function is executed converting the information sending it to the output
connector.
1.3
Setup of Functions
Some functions require being selected in the standard drive parameters before they will
function. Many functions have parameters and multi-function inputs associated with them.
Sections 2 explains the functions, their setup and controls. This information can also be found
in the quick reference information. The parameters used for these purposes should be set when
the configuration is entered into the GPD515 / G5. Only the parameters required for the current
configuration need to be setup.
