Chapter 3
Programming and Parameters
Chapter 3 provides a complete listing and description of the LPM15
parameters. The parameters can be programmed (viewed/edited) using an
LCD HIM (Human Interface Module). As an alternative, programming can
also be performed using DriveExplorer™ or DriveExecutive™ software and
a personal computer. Refer to Appendix
C for a brief description of the
LCD HIM.
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 Parameters
ENUM parameters allow a selection from 2 or more items. The LCD
HIM will display a text message for each item.
• Bit Parameters
Bit parameters have 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.
• Numeric Parameters
These parameters have a single numerical value (i.e. 0.1 Volts).
The example on the following page shows how each parameter type is
presented in this manual.
