Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter Objectives Chapter 1 describes the various controls and indicators found on the optional Graphics Programming Terminal (1201 GPT). The GPT is an enhanced control that provides a means of programming, viewing operating parameters, on-line troubleshooting and analyzing of all SCANbusTM products. GPT Description When an optional GPT (Figure 1.1) is supplied, it will be either mounted to the front of a Drive as a panel mount terminal or supplied as a remote device with a 1.
Chapter 1 Introduction Display Features Four different interface boxes (Figure 1.2) appear on the GPT display to provide you with pertinent information. These boxes include: Help Box: This box provides help information related to the function being currently displayed. The Help Box will provide you with information on what can be accessed or programmed using this specific menu function. Info Box: This box provides you with information about the data currently on the screen.
Chapter 1 Introduction used to indicate the selected letter or numeral in a text string. Soft Key Designators: Four soft designators are located at the bottom of the Display screen (SWFunc1, SWFunc2, SWFunc3, SWFunc4). These soft designators (Figure 1.2) are tied to the F1 thru F4 keys on the Graphics Programming Terminal (Figure 1.4). Various selection options will appear on the screen at the F1 thru F4 positions.
Chapter 1 Introduction Key Descriptions The keys on the GPT keypad control the following functions: ESC ESCape When pressed, this key will cause the current function to be aborted and will return you to the previous menu screen. In the case of a dialog box, only the dialog entry will be aborted. ALTernate When pressed, this key selects the secondary key functions for keys with ALTernate functions such as the Num/Preset keys. Alternate functions are always identified in (color) at the upper left of a key.
Chapter 1 Introduction XREF 1 A B C D E F 3 Numeric 3/Xref This key allows you to enter the number 3 or to select XREF 1 when used in conjunction with the ALTernate key. (ALT function on Runtime Version only). 4 Numeric 4/A This key allows you to enter the number 4 or to enter the letter A when used in conjunction with the ALTernate key. 5 Numeric 5/B This key allows you to enter the number 5 or to enter the letter B when used in conjunction with the ALTernate key.
Chapter 1 Introduction Optional Run Time Keys START The Start key will initiate drive operation if no other control devices are sending a Stop command. STOP If the drive is running, pressing the Stop key will cause the drive to stop, using the selected stop mode. Refer to the Drive user manual. If the drive has stopped due to a fault, pressing this key will clear the fault and reset the drive. JOG JOG When pressed, jog will be initiated if no other control devices are sending a stop command.
Chapter 1 Introduction In the case of a 1336 FORCE Drive equipped with a PLC Comm Adapter Board, eight menu options will be available as shown in Figure 1.7. When the Process Display Screen is active, it is necessary to press the Main Menu Option (F2 soft designator) on the Process Display to reach the Main Menu. The Main Menu contains the password option that provides a highlighted dialog box for password entry.
Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 1.8 details the complete menu tree for the GPT Programming Terminal. This menu is dynamic and all options may not be supported by your Drive or SCANbus device. If you need more detailed information on Key functions, Menu Screens or general Terminal operation refer to the appropriate chapter in this manual. Figure 1.

Chapter 2 Parameter Option General The Parameter Option provides you with access to the Drive parameter database. Any parameter can be directly accessed by number in the Linear Mode as shown in Figure 2.1, or any parameter can be viewed by File, Group or Element as shown in Figure 2.2. The Element option is accessed by pressing the Return key while the initial File/Group display is active. Figure 2.1 (Linear Mode Initial Screen) Linear: [ 142 ] Par < Vel Fdbk TP Low.
Chapter 2 Parameter Option Accessing the Linear Parameter Mode To access the Linear Parameter Mode from the Main Menu (Figure 2.3), press the Increment or Decrement key to move the cursor to selection #1 “Parameter”. Figure 2.3 Main Menu Main Menu: < 1 2 3 4 5 - > Help Parameter Link Summary Fault Queue Warning EEPROM Password ProcDspy Press the Enter Key , the terminal will go into either File/Group/Element or Linear Mode, depending on which mode was last used.
Chapter 2 Parameter Option Accessing a Parameter in the Linear Mode With the Linear Parameter Screen (Figure 2.5) displayed, perform the following steps: Step 1 Use the or key to scroll through the parameter numbers; or Step 2 If you wish to enter a parameter number directly, press the soft designator key. The dialog box shown in Figure F2 2.5 will appear. Figure 2.

The cursor will move to the current value in RPM. Figure 2.
Chapter 2 Parameter Option Use the or keys to change the value (Figure 2.9) or enter the value directly with the numeric keys. Figure 2.9 Parameter Value Change Value : Saving Parameter Values < 175.2 > RPM To save your new value in RAM, press the key. IMPORTANT: This is only necessary when a value is entered directly with the numeric keys. If the INC and DEC keys were used to enter the value, the value is automatically stored in RAM (Drive). To store your new value to BRAM, press the ESC key.
Chapter 2 Parameter Option IMPORTANT: If you are making more than one parameter change, it is not necessary to save every new parameter value at the time you make a value change. All parameter changes can be saved at one time using the EE/BRAM option detailed in Chapter 4. Accessing the FGE Mode In addition to accessing parameters one–by–one in the Linear Parameter mode, it is also possible to access parameters that have been grouped in special Files.
