1 Warnings and Notes
!
Warnings
¾The AOP will not START or STOP an attached inverter until it has
been set as the command source. (P0700 = 4 or 5)
¾If the AOP has been set as the I/O control (P0700= 4 or 5); to
prevent unexpected drive operation, the USS timeout parameter
(P2014) should be set to 5000. (The removal of the AOP from the
inverter in this mode will then cause a trip in 5 seconds).
¾The AOP can be fitted to and removed from the inverter whilst
power is applied.
¾The AOP will set the USS PZD (P2012) length to 4 when
connected to an inverter.
¾The AOP uses the USS PZD status word to monitor and control
connected inverters. Parameter P2016 and P2019 should not be
changed from their default values when an AOP is used either as
the master or as a cloning device and the command source is
USS, as unexpected behavior may occur.
¾When the inverter has been set so that AOP has control (P700 = 4
or 5) the drive control buttons Start, Stop, Jog and Reverse can
control the drive at all times.
Notes
¾Parameter edit – Bit field indicator — When editing a bit field
type parameter the AOP increments the displayed value as a
binary number. For a full description of the binary values please
see the inverter user guide.
¾Inhibit — When the AOP displays ‘Inhibit’ this indicates that the
inverter is in an inhibit mode of operation as reported on the USS
message. This will be cleared when the drive has had a valid
start/stop command from the AOP. On First power-up send an
OFF1 command to the inverter before trying to run the inverter;
this must also be done when the inverter is under Automatic Timer
Control.
¾Memory Limitation
The AOP supports five European Languages; English, German,
French, Spanish and Italian. Due to internal memory limitations
the user should delete one of these languages in order to
upread the specified ten parameter sets that can be held on
the AOP.
¾To Delete a Language
Select “Language” from the top level menu, highlight the language
you want to delete then press “Fn” and “↑”. Please note that
once a Language has been deleted it cannot be restored.
¾Support of drive inverters MICROMASTER 420 and 440
This AOP (6SE6400-0AP00-0AA1) supports all versions of
MICROMASTER 420 and 440 inverters holding parameter
information for the newest version of drive available at the time of
AOP manufacture. However for parameters that are present on
newer versions but not present on the older versions of firmware
the AOP will display “not accessible”

2.2 Network Setup (RS 485 With Panel Mounting Kit)
There are two main modes of operation for the AOP when connected to a
network of Micromaster 4th generation drive. These modes are both under the
Master mode of operation on the AOP allowing a single drive to be accessed on
the network with full control/parameter access or selecting B or broadcast mode
all drives on the network can be set to start/stop at the same time.
The AOP has the capability to control up to 31 inverters connected as a network.
A unique two-digit number identifies each inverter.
To set-up a network of inverters under the control of an AOP, the following
procedure should be performed:

6 AOP Operating Instructions – Issue 07/05
6SE6400-5AP00-0BB0
1. Connect the RS485 using the Standard Panel Mounting Kit (PMK).
Notes
¾Panel Mounting Kit
1. The correct wiring for the PMK and inverter is as follows:
PIN3 = +24 V
PIN4 = 0 V
PIN 1 & 2 = 485 Comms
On 420 PIN1 ⇒ PIN14 (420) PIN29 (440)
PIN2 ⇒ PIN15 (420) PIN30 (440)
2. The use of twisted twin cable or shielded cable is preferred.
3. The inverter at the end of the network should have a 120Ω
terminating resistor across the RS485 pins.
4. A common earth plane should be used for all inverters and the
PMK.
¾For the early issue of the PMK Switch 1 of the DIP switch on
board must be UP or ON for correct communication.
1. Configure the inverter for network use.
2. Each drive should be assigned a unique RS485 USS address in the
range of 0 to 30.
To do this set P003 = 2 and using P2011 assign a unique address to
each inverter
3. Set the control over the USS on the communications port.
Follow the process as in 2.1 above, in step 15 set P0700 = 5 (USS
on Com link)
4. With the drives powered-up on the network, connect and power-up
the AOP on the PMK.
5. At start-up of the AOP select MASTER mode.
6. Select Operate.
7. The AOP will now show all inverters on the network.
8. Select either a single inverter or broadcast mode of operation.
9. Press to start the inverter/motor.
10. Press to stop the inverter/motor.
Note
¾If the AOP is to be used as the normal control means for the
inverter it is recommended that the user Set P2014.0 = 5000. To
do this first set P0003 = 3. This setting will cause the drive to trip if
communication with the control source, the AOP, is lost.
Press the and keys at the same time to go to the top-level
menu.

PC running software such as DriveMonitor to connect to a network of drives, as
described above.
To enter this mode select PC from the Mode menu followed by the desired baud
rate of operation. The PC should be connected to the PMK using a Null Modem
lead, as described in the PMK brochure.
2.3 Parameter Upread
Important Notes
¾Support of drive inverters MICROMASTER 440.
The AOP will normally only upload and download parameters up to
and including level 3. When copying parameter sets between
inverters the user must again complete the quick commissioning and
the motor identification for the inverter to modify internal parameters
(level 4). This is important for sensor less vector control. To do this
set P1910 = 3.
Alternatively the commissioning PC software "STARTER" may be
used to perform upread/download completely in order to clone a
MICROMASTER 440.
¾Memory Limitation
The delivered AOP supports five European Languages of English,
German, French, Spanish and Italian. Due to internal memory
limitations the user should delete one of these languages in
order to upread the specified ten parameter sets that can be held
on the AOP.
¾To Delete a Language
To do this Select “Language” from the top level menu, highlight the
language you want to delete then press “Fn” and “↑”. Please note
that once a Language has been removed it cannot be restored.
The upread facility allows a user to read the parameter set from an inverter to
the AOP and store the parameter set within the AOP’s internal memory. The
AOP can read from a single inverter in local mode or from one specified inverter
on a network of inverters in master mode.
The AOP can upread up to 10 parameter sets from the connected inverters, the
number of sets will depend on the type of inverters that are connected to the
AOP. For more details on available memory see P8562 in the relevant
parameter list or Section 2.5 on page 10 of this manual. It should be noted that
the timer settings also use AOP memory.

2.7 MM3 Upread
It is possible to use the AOP to upread a parameter set held on an MM3
inverter. To do this the user must use a PMK as an RS232 to RS485 converter
to allow the AOP to communicate with the MM3. Once in this configuration the
MM3 upread mode should be selected from the ‘MODE’ menu.
The AOP can upread up to 10 parameter sets from the connected inverters, the
number of sets will depend on the type of inverters that are connected to the
AOP. For more details on available memory see P8562 in the relevant
parameter list or Section 2.5 on page 10 of this manual. It should be noted that
the timer settings also use AOP memory.
This parameter set can then be transferred to a PC using DriveMonitor as
described in the previous section.
2.8 Timer Operation
Notes
¾Before using the Timer function as a control method, the user
should set the Real Time Clock of the AOP as described in
Section 7.1.8 on page 29.
¾Setting a timing event for EVERY DAY will put a separate event
with the same configuration settings in every day of the week.
These must be cleared individually.
¾When multiple events need to be cleared from the timer function it
may be easier to reset the AOP as described in Section 7.1.9 on
page 30.
¾When in Master mode of operation and viewing the inverters
connected a “T” is displayed in the top left corner of the display to
indicated that the connected inverters are under timed remote
control and may therefore start or stop unexpectedly.
The timer menu can be accessed from the top-level menu when in Local or
Master (Network) mode of operation. The timer operates as a simple seven day,
time of day on/off controller — much like a central heating controller but with the
addition of a possible multi-inverter selection.

commands from the AOP. In Broadcast Mode the inverter will only
respond to broadcast messages.
The purpose of the broadcast function is to allow all connected inverters to be
controlled simultaneously.
With the broadcast function selected it is possible to perform the following
functions on all connected inverters:
