Practical Advice / Minimum Setup

Practical advice :

Before starting your programming, first fill in the configuration and settings record tables (at the end of this
document).
Programming the Altivar 58 is made easier by the use of internal sequence selections and interlocks. In order
to maximize this ease of use, we recommend that you access the menus in the following order. Not all steps
are essential in every case.
LANGUAGE
MACRO-CONFIG
IDENTIFICATION
CONTROL (for 3-wire control only)

COMMUNICATION or APPLICATION if a card is used
ADJUST
CAUTION : The user must ensure that the programmed functions are compatible with the wiring
diagram used. This check is particularly important on the ready-assembled ATV58E if the factory
configuration is modified; the diagram may also require modification.

Minimum setup :

This procedure can be used :
-in simple applications where the speed controller factory settings are suitable
-in installation phases where it is necessary to rotate the motor experimentally before undertaking a full
installation

Procedure :

1Follow the recommendations in the User's Manual supplied with the speed controller, most importantly
setting the 50/60 Hz selector switch to the nominal frequency of the motor.
2Ensure that the factory macro-configuration is suitable, otherwise change it in the «MACRO-CONFIG»
menu.
3For speed controllers with power ratings greater than 7.5 kW at 200/240 V and 15 kW at 380/500 V in
"standard torque" applications, configure the power in the «IDENTIFICATION» menu.
4To ensure the required level of safety, check that the wiring diagram is compatible with the macro-
configuration, otherwise modify the diagram.
5Check in the «DRIVE» menu that the factory parameters are compatible with those given on the motor
rating plate, otherwise modify them.
6In the «DRIVE» menu, perform an auto tune.
7If necessary, adjust the parameters in the «ADJUST» menu (ramps, thermal current, etc).
