How do I perform ATV630 and ATV930 Basic Programming?

Issue:
Basic Programming on an Altivar Process Drive.

Product Line:
Altivar Process Drive (ATV630, ATV930, ATV650, ATV950, ATV660, ATV960, ATV680, ATV980)

Environment:
All serial numbers for Altivar Process Drive

Cause:
Initial setup / maintenance

Resolution:
You can go through the Simply Start Menu to perform your basic settings:

From the Main Menu select [Simply start]:

[Motor Standard] bFr - 50Hz IEC or 60Hz NEMA- motor nameplate

[Nominal motor power] nPr - Motor HP - motor nameplate

[Nom Motor Voltage] UnS - Motor voltage - motor nameplate

[Nom Motor Current] nCr - Motor FLA - motor nameplate

[Nominal Motor Freq] FrS - 60Hz in the US - motor nameplate

[Nominal Motor Speed] nSP - Actual motor max speed, not Syncrhonus speed unless it is a synchronus motor - motor nameplate

[2/3-Wire Control] tCC - Factory default is '2-Wire Control'

[Max Frequency] tFr - Max frequency of the motor, usually 60Hz - motor nameplate

[Autotuning] tUn - No Action, Apply Autotuning, Erase Autotuning

[Autotuning Status] tUS - Displays 'Not Done' unless Autotuning is performed

[Motor Th Current] ItH - Motor thermal current - motor nameplate - used to set the motor overload protection level

[Acceleration] ACC - Acceleration time in seconds

[Deceleration] dEC - Deceleration time in seconds

[Low Speed] LSP - Minimum speed, drive will never run lower than this speed when given a run command

[High Speed] HSP - Maximum speed, drive will never run higher than this speed when given a run command

In many instances these parameters will be enough to sufficiently program a drive. If any further programming is required (such as PID, command/reference switching, hoisting, etc), please refer to the applicable Programming Manual for your drive.
