Commissioning

5.2 STARTER commissioning tool

Important information prior to commissioning
The cabinet unit offers a varying number of internal signal interconnections depending on the
delivery condition and the options installed. For the converter control to be able to process
the signals correctly, several software settings must be made.
During initial power-up of the Control Unit and during first commissioning, parameter macros
are executed and the necessary settings made.
The settings are documented in the Appendix.
After initial power-up, first commissioning, and also following a "Parameter reset to factory
settings", individual parameter values deviate from the factory settings stated in the List
Manual.
