This function allows variables to be monitored in the software. The address of the monitored
variable is entered in machine data "Address of monitored variable" (MD 181).
The minimum value is displayed in machine data "Display minimum value" (MD 182) and the
maximum value in machine data "Display maximum value" (MD 183).

Input for enabling of motor switchover (star-delta switchover). This machine data ensures a
wide range of constant power. At low speeds, the drive is operated with a star connection
(high torque) and at high speeds with a delta connection (high breakdown torque). The star-
delta switchover can take place when the motor is running.
The switchover is described in more detail below:
The PLC requests a star-delta switchover via a bit in the control word. As soon as the drive
has evaluated this control bit, the motor pulses are suppressed and an appropriate "pulse
suppression" signal sent to the PLC. Only after arrival of this signal may the PLC separate
motor contactor 1. The PLC must wait until motor contactor 1 is open before it reverses the
winding connection by closing motor contactor 2. At the same time, the motor data are
reloaded in the drive. Once motor contactor 2 is closed, the PLC signals to the drive that
contactor switchover has taken place. As soon as the drive has processed this signal, the
motor pulses are enabled (provided, of course, that all motor data have been reloaded), thus
completing the star-delta switchover operation.
0: Switchover disabled
1: Switchover enabled
Note:
A "Star-delta switchover" function block (FX 82) also exists. However, this may only be used
for digital main spindle drives (see Configuring Instructions, Function Blocks PLC 135
WB2/WD, Package 0: Basic functions).
