Inverter menu structure and monitoring

The display menu can display key parameters such as frequency, voltage, current, etc., thus realizing the basic monitoring of the inverter. The operation process of inverter parameter view is shown in Figure 20-5.

LED Status Indication Priority

The SINAMICS V20 has only one LED status indicator, which can display orange, green or red. If more than one status exists for the frequency converter at the same time, the LED indicators are displayed in the following priority order:Parameter Clone > Debug Mode > Fault Occurrence > Ready (no faults). For example, if a fault occurs in debug mode, the LED flashes green at 0.5 Hz.

(i) Setting the power frequency (50/60 Hz)

The 50/60 Hz selection menu is only visible when the inverter is first turned on or after a factory reset (P0970). The user can select the frequency via BOP or exit this menu directly without making a selection. The frequency can also be selected by setting the P0100 The motor rated frequency is selected by the value of [kW] or [hp] (see Table 20-8 for details). Determine the power value expressed in [kW] or [hp] by this setting.

(ii) Setting motor data and common parameters

The user sets the motor nameplate data through the motor parameters in Table 20-9. If the parameter P8553 Setting 1, this menu displays text instead of a parameter number. Refer to Table 20-10 for common parameter settings.

(iv) Rapid commissioning

In addition to the setup menu, users can also perform quick debugging of the inverter through the parameter menu (see Table 20-11 for details).

1. Parking mode selection (OFF1, OFF2, OFF3)

Note:The inverter will be in the ON disabled state after the OFF2/OFF3 command. At this time, it is necessary to give the ON command with signal changing from low level → high level to start the motor again. Priority order:0FF2 (highest level) → OFF3 → OFF1。

(1) OFF1 (Ramp stop)
Use the ramp down time defined by P1121. The pulse is canceled when the output frequency drops below P2167 and the P2168 time ends.

(2) OFF2 (Inertial free parking)
Cancel the inverter pulse immediately. The motor stops freely by inertia and not in a controlled manner. Low level active.

(3) OFF3 (Rapid Emergency Stop)
Use its unique ramp down time P1135. which has the same braking characteristics as OFF1 but usually descends more steeply.

2. Pointing mode (JOG)

Press the “Run” button to rotate at the preset frequency (P1058) and release to stop. Application Scenario:
(1) Check motor and inverter functions after commissioning;
(2) To bring the load to a specific position;
(3) Rotate the motor after program interruption.

Key Function Description: Press OK key to view the current fault list. Press and hold OK (>2s) to view the inverter status at the time of the fault. The fault icon disappears when the fault is cleared/answered. (See Table 20-13 Fault Code List and Table 20-14 Alarm Code List for details).
