Chapter 7 Example Explanation

Programming MACRO files

This is for reference only. But will help the user to understand the requirements of using the HMI for controlling the VFD-E AC drive. This is a tool to help in learning how HMI programming is done.

Making a button to turn on the VFD-E AC drive

We recommend the user to use a set button for this. Most elements require an address, some a bit other’s a word. The set button requires a bit setting.

Remember to compile at the end of the programming. If an error occurs it will be shown on the Output section of the Screen.

It is assumed that a Delta display kit is being used but if not just an E Drive and HMI with a power source and communication cable will be needed.

To start, the user must first make a new file. See Fig. 7.1

Open the Screen Edit program

Select New

Select the type of DOP being used. In this case 8 inch color AE type is selected.

Base Port controller is Delta Controller ASCII.

Drive parameter’s must be set-up as follows:

09.00= 2: Communication Address (1to 254)

09.01= 3: Transmission Speed (38,400)

09.04= 0: Communication Protocol (7,n, 2)

02.00= 3: Source of First Master Frequency Command (RJ-45)

02.01= 4: Source of First Operation Command (RS-485 Serial communication (RJ-45)

This is for communication to the drive via RS-485 communication.
