VACON NX QUICK HELP

Start-up wizard
The Start Up Wizard is activated when the power to the drive is turned on for the first time, or if the
Start Up Wizard is activated from the System menu (P6.5.3) AND the power is turned OFF and back
ON.
The Start-up Wizard is a feature on the control keypad to facilitate the commissioning of the fre-
quency converter. If selected active (default), the Start-up Wizard prompts the operator for the lan-
guage and application of his/her choice plus for the values for a set of parameters common to all
applications as well as for a set of application-dependent parameters.
Always accept the value with the Enter button, scroll options or change values with the Browser
buttons (up and down arrows). More information on the use of the control panel in Chapter 7 of the
User's Manual.

Actual value special display
The Actual value special display parameters are used to convert and display the actual value signal
in a form more informative to the user.

The Actual value special display parameters are available in PID Control Application and Pump and
Fan Control Application:

Par ID Parameter name Parameter code in Parameter code in

PID ctrl applic. Pump&Fan ctrl applic.
ID1033 Actual value special display minimum 2.2.46 2.9.29
ID1034 Actual value special display maximum 2.2.47 2.9.30
ID1035 Actual value special display decimals 2.2.48 2.9.31
ID1036 Actual value special display unit 2.2.49 2.9.32

Example:

The actual value signal sent from a sensor (in mA) represents the amount of waste water pumped
from a tank per second. The signal range is 0(4)…20mA. Instead of receiving the level of the actual
value signal (in mA) on the display, you wish to receive the amount of water pumped in m3/s. You
then set a value for par. ID1033 to correspond to the minimum signal level (0/4 mA) and another
value for par. ID1034 to correspond to the maximum signal level (20 mA). The number of decimals
needed can be set with par. ID1035 and the unit (m3/s) with par. ID1036. The level of the actual value
signal is then scaled between the set min and max values and displayed in the selected unit.

The following units can be selected (par. ID1036):

Value Unit On keypad Value Unit On keypad

0 Not Used 15 m3 /h m3/h
1 % % 16 °F °F
2 °C °C 17 ft ft
3 m m 18 gal / s GPS
4 bar bar 19 gal / min GPM
5 mbar mbar 20 gal / h GPH
6 Pa Pa 21 ft3 / s CFS
7 kPa kPa 22 ft3 / min CFM
8 PSI PSI 23 ft3 / h CFH
9 m/s m/s 24 A A
10 l/s l/s 25 V V
11 l / min l/m 26 W W
12 l/h l/h 27 kW kW
13 m3 /s m3/s 28 Hp Hp
14 m3 /min m3/m

NOTE: The maximum number of characters that can be shown on keypad is 4. This means that in
some cases the display of the unit on the keypad does not comply with the standards.

 Keypad shortcuts
1. Quick activation of keypad contol

If you have selected either the I/O terminal control (I/O term) or the fieldbus control (Bus/Comm) as the active
control place but wish to take over the control from these to the keypad, this can be done in two different
ways.
A. Swap between keypad control and another control as active control place
With the I/O terminals or fieldbus selected as the active control place, it is also possible to change the control
to the local keypad and back to the original control place.

Irrespective of your location in the menu structure, keep the button pushed down for 5 seconds. This
will activate the Start & Stop keypad control. The display will jump to the editing mode of R3.2 Keypad Refer-
ence and you will be able to enter the desired frequency on the keypad. Push the start button to start the drive.

Pushing the button again for 5 seconds returns the control to the original control place (active control
place, P3.1) and its reference. NOTE: The motor starts if the start command of the active control place is ON
and run at the formerly set reference. The keypad display will show monitoring value V1.1 Output Frequency.
If any of the parameter values in menu M3 is changed in between the swapping the keypad reference will be
reset to 0.00 Hz.

B. Activate the keypad control and copy the output reference to the keypad
start
When motor is running: Keep the button pushed down for 3 seconds. The keypad will become the
active control place and the current frequency reference and direction will be copied to the keypad.

stop
When motor is stopped: Keep the button pushed down for 3 seconds. The keypad will become the
active control place and the current frequency reference and direction will be copied to the keypad.
These features will not work unless you are in menu M3.
If you are in any other than M3 menu and try to start the motor by pressing the START button when the keypad
is not selected as the active control place you will get an error message Keypad Control NOT ACTIVE.
If you are in any other than M3 menu and press the STOP button the motor will stop. See point 3 below.


2. Copy elsewhere set frequency reference to keypad
enter
Copy the frequency reference set elsewhere (I/O, fieldbus) to the keypad by keeping the
button pushed down for 3 seconds. This shortcut will not change control places.
This feature will not work unless you are in menu M3.



3. Stopping the drive regardless of the active control place

stop
By default, the motor can be stopped at all times by pushing the button regardless of the selected
control place. This default setting can be inactivated by giving parameter Stop Button Activated (P3.4 or
P3.6) (menu M3) the value 0. With this value given to the parameter, pushing the STOP button stops the
motor only when the keypad has been selected as the active control place.
