17.0 SM-Basic DISPLAY MESSAGES
The following describes the various displays and messages that can appear on the SCN drive.
17.1 SPEED DISPLAY
If the drive is in a STOP state (indicated by "- -" on the display), and the keypad speed command is
changed, the display will show the commanded speed, and the upper left decimal point will turn on
solid. About five seconds after a change is made, the display will begin to alternate between the
commanded speed value and the "- -" display. If the Mode button is pressed, the display will stop
alternating and show the "- -" display only.
When the drive is given a START command, the displayed speed will start increasing as the drive
accelerates up to the commanded speed. If the keypad speed command is changed while the drive is
running, the display will show the commanded speed rather than the actual speed, until the actual
speed reaches the commanded speed.
If the keypad speed command is changed faster than the drive can accelerate or decelerate, the upper
left decimal point will blink to indicate that the the drive is accelerating or decelerating to the new
speed. Once the actual speed reaches the commanded speed, the upper left decimal point will turn on
solid for 5 seconds and then turn off to indicate that the commanded speed has been reached, and that
the display is now showing the actual speed.
17.2 CHANGING THE SPEED REFERENCE SOURCE
When the speed source is changed while the drive is running, the display will flash the message for
the new speed source to indicate that the new speed source is active. Also, if the drive is being
controlled from a speed source other than the s and t buttons (speed pot, preset speed, etc), and one
of the s or t buttons is pressed, the display will flash the present speed source message to indicate
that the s and t buttons are invalid.
Example 1: The drive is running and the present speed source is the keypad. TB-13A is programmed
to select a speed pot signal as the speed source. When TB-13A is closed to TB-11, the display will
flash “EU” to indicate that the speed source has changed to the speed pot signal. If the contact
between TB-13A and TB-11 is opened, the display will flash “CP” to indicate that the speed source
has changed back to the s and t buttons.
Example 2: The speed source is a speed pot. If the s or t button is pushed, the display will flash
“EU” to indicate that the present speed source is the speed pot and that the s and t buttons are
invalid.
