4 Parameter Descriptions
4.1 Parameter Group 0: Operation/Display
0-03 Regional Settings
Option: Function:
In order to meet the needs for different default
settings in different parts of the world, 0-03
Regional Settings, is implemented in the
frequency converter. The selected setting
influences the default setting of the motor
nominal frequency.
[0 ] *Interna-
tional
Sets default of 1-23 Motor Frequency, to 50 Hz,
shows 1-20 Motor Power in kW.
[1] US Sets default of 1-23 Motor Frequency, to 60 Hz,
shows 1-20 Motor Power in HP.
NOTE
This parameter cannot be changed while
motor runs.
0-04 Operating State at Power-up (Hand Mode)
Option: Function:
This parameter controls whether or not the
frequency converter start running the motor
when powering up after a power down in
Hand mode.
NOTE
If LCP with potentiometer is mounted,
reference is set according to actual
potentiometer value.
[0] Resume Frequency converter starts in same Hand or
Off State as when powered off.
Local reference is stored and used after
power-up.
[1] *Forced
Stop,
Ref=Old
Frequency converter powers up in Off State
meaning that motor is stopped after power
up.
Local reference is stored and used after
power-up.
[2] Forced
Stop, Ref=0
Frequency converter powers up in Off State
meaning that motor is stopped after power
up.
Local reference is set to 0. Thus motor will
not start running before local reference has
been increased.
4.1.1 0-1* Set-up Handling
User-defined parameters and miscellaneous external inputs
(eg. bus, LCP, analog/digital inputs, feedback, etc.) controls
the functionality of the frequency converter.
A complete set of all parameters controlling the frequency
converter is called a set-up. The frequency converter
contains 2 set-ups, Set-up 1 and Set-up 2.
Furthermore, a fixed set of factory settings can be copied
into one or more set-ups.
Some of the advantages of having more than one set-up
in the frequency converter are
•Run motor in one set-up (Active Set-up) while
updating parameters in another set-up (Edit Set-
up)
•Connect various motors (one at a time) to
frequency converter. Motor data for various
motors can be placed in different set-ups.
•Rapidly change settings of frequency converter
and/or motor while motor is running (eg. ramp
time or preset references) via bus or digital
inputs.
The Active Set-up can be set as Multi Set-up where the
active set-up is selected via input on a digital input
terminal and/or via the bus control word.
NOTE
Factory Set-up cannot be used as Active Set-up.
0-10 Active Set-up
Option: Function:
Active Set-up controls the motor.
Shifts between set-ups can only happen when
•the motor is coasted
OR
•the set-ups between which the shift
happens are linked to each other (see
0-12 Linked Set-ups).
If changing between set-ups that are not linked,
the change will not happen before motor is
coasted.
NOTE
The motor is only considered stopped
when it is coasted.

bus, see 5-1* Digital Inputs choice [23].
0-11 Edit Set-up
Option: Function:
The Edit Set-up is for updating parameters in
the frequency converter from either LCP or
bus. It can be identical or different from the
Active Set-up.
All set-ups can be edited during operation,
independently of the active set-up.
[1 ] *Set-up 1 Update parameters in Set-up 1.
[2] Set-up 2 Update parameters in Set-up 2.
[9] Active Set-
up
Update parameters in set-up selected as
Active Set-up (see 0-10 Active Set-up).
0-12 Link Set-ups
Option: Function:
The link ensures synchronizing of the “not
changeable during operation” parameter values
enabling shift from one set-up to another
during operation.
If the set-ups are not linked, a change between
them is not possible while the motor is running.
Thus the set-up change does not occur until the
motor is coasted.
[0] Not
linked
Leaves parameters unchanged in both set-ups
and cannot be changed while motor runs.
[1 ] *Linked Copy parameters “not changeable during
operation” parameter values into presently
selected Edit Set-up.
NOTE
This parameter cannot be changed while
motor runs.

motor temperature range is exceeded, (see
1-93 Thermistor Resource.
[3] ETR Warning If calculated upper limit of motor
temperature range is exceeded, a warning
occurs.
[4] ETR Trip If 90% of calculated upper limit of motor
temperature range is exceeded, an alarm
occurs and the frequency converter trips.
NOTE
When the ETR function has been selected the drive will
store the recorded temperature at power down and this
temperature will resume at power up regardless of the
elapsed time. Changing 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection back
to [0] No Protection will reset the recorded temperature.

4.3.2 2-0* DC-Brake
The purpose of DC-brake function is to brake a rotating
motor by applying DC-current to the motor.
2-00 DC Hold Current
Range: Function:
This parameter either holds the motor (holding
torque) or pre-heats the motor.
The parameter is active if DC Hold has been
selected in either 1-72 Start Function or 1-80
Function at Stop.

Range: Function:
0.0 Hz*[0.0-400.0 Hz] Set DC-brake cut-in speed to activate
DC braking current, set in 2-01 DC Brake
Current, when ramping down.
When set to 0 the function is off.
4.3.3 2-1* Brake Energy Function
Use the parameters in this group for selecting dynamic
braking parameters.
2-10 Brake Function
Option: Function:
Resistor Brake:
The resistor brake limits voltage in the
intermediate circuit when the motor acts as
generator. Without brake resistor, the frequency
converter eventually trips.
The resistor brake consumes surplus energy
resulting from motor braking. A frequency
converter with brake, stops a motor faster than
without a brake, which is used in many
applications. Requires connection of external
brake resistor.
An alternative to the resistor brake is the AC
brake.
NOTE
Resistor brake is only functional in
frequency converters with integrated
dynamic brake. An external resistor must
be connected.
AC Brake:
The AC brake consumes surplus energy by
creating power loss in the motor.
It is important to keep in mind that an increase
in power loss causes motor temperature to rise.
[0] *Off No brake function.
