Command/reference switching

Channels

A channel is the name given to the source of a command or reference.

The six Altivar 61 channels are:

The terminals

The graphic display terminal

The integrated Modbus ports

The integrated CANopen port

A network card

The "Controller Inside" card

The Altivar 61 has two integrated Modbus ports. These two ports are physically independent of one another but together constitute a single logic channel.

The drive does not distinguish between commands and references that come from the Modbus network port and those that come from the Modbus HMI port.

With the Altivar 61 drive, it is possible to select the active command channel and the active reference channel:

Via configuration

Via switching at the terminals or via a communication network

Channel commands and references

All the drive’s command and reference parameters are managed on a channel-by-channel basis.

Only the control word (CMd), speed reference (LFrd) and frequency reference (LFr) are switched.

It is possible to identify the last value written for each channel and each command or reference parameter:
