Programming and Parameters
This chapter provides a complete listing and description of the PowerFlex 400
parameters. Parameters are programmed (viewed/edited) using the integral
keypad. As an alternative, programming can also be performed using
DriveExecutive™ software or Connected Components WorkBench™ version 1.0
or greater software, a personal computer and a serial converter module. Refer to
Appendix B
for catalog numbers.
In addition programming can also be performed using design software RS
Logix 5000 version 16.0 or greater or Studio 5000 version 21.0 or greater with
appropriate communication option kits and accessories listed in Appendix B
.
About Parameters
To configure a drive to operate in a specific way, drive parameters may have to
be set. Three types of parameters exist:
• ENUM
ENUM parameters allow a selection from 2 or more items. Each item is
represented by a number.
• Numeric Parameters
These parameters have a single numerical value (0.1V).
• Bit Parameters
Bit parameters have four or more individual bits associated with features
or conditions. If the bit is 0, the feature is off or the condition is false. If
the bit is 1, the feature is on or the condition is true.
