9 Options for Siemens Standard Drives
9.1Introduction
Several options are available for use with Siemens Standard drives; some are described below. These are intended to assist product selection, installation and commissioning in certain applications.
9.2Advanced Operating Panel AOP
The advanced operating panel consists of a control and display unit that fits directly on top of the MICROMASTER or MIDIMASTER Control panel. A socket connects directly onto the front of the unit, so the AOP can take power from and communicate with the drive via the RS485 interface.
The AOP offers the following features:
√= Many languages ( Such as English, German, French, Italian, Spanish) for text operation with explanation of parameters, faults etc.
√= Diagnostics - help with fault finding.
√= Upread/download of parameter sets from units to AOP and back. This allows fast, reliable programming and copying of parameter sets.
√= AOP mounts directly on MICROMASTER and MIDIMASTER. √= Optional Door mounting kit with IP54 protection included.
√= Optional AOP to computer connection kit for remote operation and off line programming.
The AOP has several practical uses; for example:
·The AOP may be mounted directly onto the inverter and used to control the drive directly.
·The AOP can be mounted on a separate panel (using an optional cable of up to 5m) to enable remote control and monitoring of the drive.
·If an external power supply is connected to the AOP, remote control over distances greater than 5m is permissible
·Parameter sets can be stored in the AOP and uploaded or downloaded as required. This is particularly useful where many inverters require programming in production.
