Can we change the speed reference from Percentage to Hertz when in Local on ATV320?

Resolution:

When running in LOCAL (AIU1) using only the embedded dial on the ATV320 drive, the speed reference is set in 0-100% of the speed range programmed on the drive.
It is NOT possible to change this to show Hertz (0-60 Hz) instead of Percentage (0-100%).

It is important to confirm what Menu are we seeing on the drive.

The Home Screen (where we have the RDY Status) changes to the output frequency of the motor once we provide a run command. RDY> 0.0-60.0 Hz. This is a read only parameter.

If we hit Enter (push the dial) once we will see the Reference Menu (Ref) we push enter again and we will see the Speed Reference value displayed in 0-100% and this is a value that can be modified when in Local Mode via the dial.

If we press ESC twice we go back to the Home screen where we can see the Output frequency value in Hertz.


If the application requires to only have the speed reference in Hertz, an option can be using a Remote display.
