As an example, how to change the rotation speed from "80" r/min to "1000" r/min is explained.
Basic operations
•Use the keys to increase/decrease the value or change the sign. Use the keys to
move to the digit you want to edit.
•If positive and negative values are differentiated, each value is preceded by a sign.
•The digit currently blinking can be edited.
1. First, change the 10’s place from "8" to "0."
Press the key once to move to the 10’s digit you want to edit.

6.1 Overview of the monitor mode
•Monitoring the operating status
You can monitor the motor operation speed, conveyor transfer speed, load factor and operation data
number corresponding to the current operation.
•Checking alarms/warnings, clearing alarm/warning records, and resetting alarms
•If an alarm or warning generates, a corresponding alarm code or warning code will be displayed.
You can check the code to identify the details of the alarm/warning.
•Up to the ten most recent alarms/warnings can be displayed, starting from the latest one.
•You can reset the alarms currently present.
•You can clear alarm/warning records.
•Checking I/O signals
You can check the ON/OFF status of each I/O signal of the driver.
6.2 Monitored items
 Operation speed (unit: r/min)
You can check the rotation speed of the motor.
While the motor is rotating in the counter clockwise direction (CCW), “−” is shown in front of the
displayed value.
This speed can also be displayed as the absolute value. To display the rotation speed as absolute value,
change the setting of the data-setter speed display parameter [ID: 480].
You can also display the rotation speed of the motor as the rotation speed of the gear output shaft. To do
this, set the speed reduction ratio parameter [ID: 2085] and speed reduction ratio decimal digit setting
parameter [ID: 2086].
It is also possible to increase the rotation speed and display the increased speed. For this, set the speed
increasing ratio parameter [ID: 2087].
 Conveyor transfer speed (unit: m/min)
You can check the conveyor transfer speed.
Set the conveyor speed reduction ratio parameter [ID: 2088] and conveyor speed reduction ratio decimal
digit setting parameter [ID: 2089]. It is also possible to increase the rotation speed and display the
increased speed. For this, set the conveyor speed increasing ratio parameter [ID: 2090].
 Load factor (unit: %)
You can check the generated torque of the motor. The current load factor is monitored based on the rated
torque being 100%.
 Operation data number
You can check the operation data number corresponding to the current operation.

Monitor mode
 Present alarm
When an alarm generates, the alarm code is displayed.
You can also reset alarms or check and clear alarm records.
Note
•Do not turn off the driver power while an alarm is being reset or alarm records are
being cleared (= while the display is blinking). Doing so may damage the data.
•When operations are limited by the edit lock function, the alarm records cannot be
cleared.
•Some alarms cannot be reset by the OPX-2A. For details, refer to the table below.
To reset these alarms, you must cycle the driver power.

Up to eight sets of operation data can be set. Once set, the operation data is stored in the driver. The data
will not be lost even after the OPX-2A is disconnected from the driver.
Before setting operation data, read the USER MANUAL carefully to understand the basic operations,
functions and other details of the driver.
Note
•Operation data have signicant bearing on motor operation. Before setting any
operation data, make sure you fully understand the content of the data.
•If operations are limited by the edit lock function, the operation data cannot be
edited.
•Operation data can also be set by selecting the ID with the parameter mode.
•If key is pressed while executing the internal processing via RS-485
communication, “mEm-bUSy” may be displayed. Check "5 Screen transitions" on
p.12 when “mEm-bUSy” is displayed. Be sure to wait until all internal processing is
completed, before pressing the key.

the rated rotation speed (3000 r/min) is indicated. The actual acceleration time and deceleration time vary
depending on the conditions of use, load inertia, load torque and other settings specied by the customer.
Note If the value you have input is outside the setting range, “Error” will be displayed for 1
second. If this error display appears, input a different value that falls within the setting
