Why does the motor run backwards when a run forward command is given to a drive?

Issue:
Altivar drive runs the motor backwards with a forward run command.

Product line:
Altivar drives

Resolution:
Drives create the phase rotation on the output. It may be the same or opposite from the power supply rotation. To correct the motor rotation, swap two motor leads on the drive output terminals.
