3. OPERATION
The operation of the inverter changes slightly when you install this option
unit, as described below.
3.1 Operating Modes
In the PU operating mode, a Parameter Unit (PU) controls the inverter. In
the External-operating mode, the inverter is controlled by external signals
connected to the inverter's terminal block. In the Network (computer link)
operating mode, the inverter is controlled by commands from a Modbus
Plus master.
3.2 Selecting the Operating Mode
The following conditions must also be met before you can change the
operating mode:
• The inverter is stopped.
• The forward and reverse commands are off.
The following table describes the actions required to change the operating
mode.
For all other mode changes, please refer to the Inverter Instruction
Manual.
Pr. 340 allows you to select the Network operating mode on power-up and
after a drive reset. Once the Network operating mode is initiated, there
must be Modbus Plus activity at least once every 3 seconds. If the option
unit does not sense valid Modbus Plus activity for 3 seconds or more, the
inverter performs an option module alarm stop (E.OP3), and you must
reset the inverter to clear this fault.
