2. KEYPAD OF THE DRIVE

The control keypad is the interface between the Vacon 100 AC drive and the user. With the con-
trol keypad it is possible to control the speed of a motor, to supervise the state of the equip-
ment and to set the AC drive's parameters.
There are two keypad types you can choose for your user interface: Keypad with graphical dis-
play and Text keypad.
2.1 Buttons
The button section of the keypad is identical for both keypad types.

2.4.1 Using the graphical keypad

2.4.1.1 Editing values

The selectable values can be accessed and edited in two different ways on the graphical key-
pad.
Parameters with one valid value
Typically, one parameter is set one value. The value is selected either from a list of values (see
example below) or the parameter is given a numerical value from a defined range (e.g.
0.00...50.00 Hz).
Change value of a parameter following the procedure below:
1. Locate the parameter.
2. Enter the Edit mode.
3. Set new value with the arrow buttons up/down. You can also move from digit to digit with
the arrow buttons left/right if the value is numerical and then change the value with the
arrow buttons up/down.
4. Confirm change with OK button or ignore change by returning to previous level with Back/
Reset button.

2.4.1.2 Resetting fault

Instructions for how to reset a fault can be found in chapter 3.5.1 on page 215.

2.4.1.3 Function button

The FUNCT button is used for four functions:
1. to quickly access the Control page,
2. to easily change between the Local (Keypad) and Remote control places,
3. to change the rotation direction and
4. to quickly edit a parameter value.

Control places
The control place is the source of control where the drive can be started and stopped. Every
control place has its own parameter for selecting the frequency reference source. The Local
control place is always the keypad. The Remote control place is determined by parameter
P3.2.1 (I/O or Fieldbus). The selected control place can be seen on the status bar of the keypad.
Remote control place
I/O A, I/O B and Fieldbus can be used as remote control places. I/O A and Fieldbus have the
lowest priority and can be chosen with parameter P3.2.1 (Rem Control Place). I/O B, again,
can bypass the remote control place selected with parameter P3.2.1 using a digital input. The
digital input is selected with parameter P3.5.1.7 (I/O B Ctrl Force).
Local control
Keypad is always used as control place while in local control. Local control has higher priority
than remote control. Therefore, if, for example, bypassed by parameter P3.5.1.7 through digi-
tal input while in Remote, the control place will still switch to Keypad if Local is selected.
Switching between Local and Remote Control can be done by pressing the FUNCT-button on
the keypad or by using the "Local/Remote" (ID211) parameter.
Changing control places
Change of control place from Remote to Local (keypad).
1. Anywhere in the menu structure, push the FUNCT button.
2. Push the Arrow up or the Arrow down button to select Local/Remote and confirm with the
OK button.
3. On the next display, select Local or Remote and again confirm with the OK button.
4. The display will return to the same location as it was when the FUNCT button was pushed.
However, if the Remote control place was changed to Local (Keypad) you will be prompted
for keypad reference.

If keypad control place and keypad reference are selected to be used you can set the Key-
pad reference after having pressed the OK button. If other control places or reference val-
ues are used the display will show Frequency reference which is not editable. The other
values on the page are Multimonitoring values. You can choose which values appear here
for monitoring (for this procedure, see page 30).

2.4.1.4 Copying parameters

NOTE: This feature is available in graphical keypad only.
The parameter copy function can be used to copy parameters from one drive to another.
The parameters are first saved to the keypad, then the keypad is detached and connected to
another drive. Finally the parameters are downloaded to the new drive restoring them from the
keypad.
Before any parameters can successfully be copied from the keypad to the drive, the drive has
to be stopped before the parameters are uploaded.
• First go into User settings menu and locate the Parameter backup submenu. In the
Parameter backup submenu, there are three possible functions to be selected:
• Restore factory defaults will re-establish the parameter settings originally made at the
factory.
• By selecting Save to keypad you can copy all parameters to the keypad.
• Restore from keypad will copy all parameters from keypad to a drive.
