7.CONTROL KEYPAD

The control keypad is the link between the NXL frequency converter and the user. The NXL control

keypad features a seven-segment display with seven indicators for the Run status (RUN, , READY, STOP, ALARM, FAULT) and three indicators for the control place (I/O term, Keypad, Bus/Comm).

The control information, i.e. the number of menu, the displayed value and the numeric information are presented with numeric symbols.

The frequency converter is operable through the seven push-buttons of the control keypad. Furthermore, the keypad serves the purposes of parameter setting and value monitoring.

The keypad is detachable and isolated from the input line potential.

RUN

= Motor is running; Blinks when the stop command has been given but the

 

 

 

frequency is still ramping down.

2

,

=

Indicate the direction of motor rotation.

 

 

 

3

STOP

=

Indicates that the drive is not running.

4READY = Lights when AC power is on. In case of a fault, the symbol will not light up.

5ALARM = Indicates that the drive is running outside a certain limit and a warning is given.

6FAULT = Indicates that unsafe operating conditions were encountered due to which the drive was stopped.
