7 Commissioning and Parameterization
7.1 Basics
Control Panels
IndraDrive controllers are equipped with a control panel; its front consists
of a display and keys located underneath it. The display shows operating
states, command and error diagnoses, as well as present warnings. By
means of the keys you can make settings, call information and trigger
some commands.
The control panel for IndraDrive controllers can be supplied in two
variants of different possibilities of display and performance:
• standard control panel
• comfort control panel
Via the serial interface of the controller it is additionally possible to
connect an independent operator terminal VCP that can, for example,
be integrated in the front of the control cabinet.
Parameters
Communication between master and drive takes place, with a few
exceptions, by means of parameters.
Parameters are used for:
• determining the configuration
• parameterizing the control loop
• triggering and controlling drive functions and commands
• transmitting command values and actual values (according to
requirements, cyclically or acyclically)
All operating data are mapped to parameters!
The operating data stored in parameters can be identified by means of
the IDN. They can be read and transferred, if required. The user write
access to parameters depends on the properties of the respective
parameter and the current communication phase. Specific parameter
values (operating data) are checked for validity by the drive firmware.
Data Storage and Parameter Handling
Several non-volatile data memories are available in an IndraDrive device:
• in the controller
• in the motor encoder (depending on motor type)
In addition, a volatile data memory (working memory) is available in the
controller.
Condition as supplied of the Rexroth drive components:
• The controller memory contains the drive firmware and the controller-
specific parameter values.
• The motor encoder memory contains the encoder-specific and,
depending on the motor type, the motor-specific parameter values.
The application-specific parameter values are stored in the controller. Due
to the limited number of writing cycles of non-volatile storage media,
