• A drive system contains all the
Drive Navigator required settings, parameters
wizard and functions that have been
set up during commissioning
Drive functions
• The "Drive Navigator" wizard
enables simple handling of the
drive system

• The drive functions can be

easily activated and

Motor data identification

Control type: Benefits:

• For V/f control: recommended • Optimum control characteristics

• For vector control: required
Restriction with rotating measurement:
Measurements:
• Must be carried out under load
• Requirement: Motor temperature approx. 20 °C • Caution with suspended loads / vertical axes
• Stationary: Electrical data:
- Stator resistance, motor cable resistance
• Rotating: Mechanical data:
- Moment of inertia of the motor
Steps in commissioning sequence
Adapt to the application

Example: Signal interconnections Example: Optimization

Steps in commissioning sequence
Back up the parameter settings

Back up to the drive EEPROM and to the hard disk of the PG/PC

Active selection of backup operation

• Copy RAM to ROM
• Load CPU / drive to PG
