🔧 Configuring ATV320 Drive with Terminal and Dial Control

This video provides a step-by-step guide on configuring the ATV320 drive to use terminal control for starting and stopping, and a dial on the drive for speed reference. The process begins with accessing the drive's menu and navigating to the 'CONF' option. From there, the user is instructed to set the 'FULL' menu, then proceed to the 'CTL' or Command menu. The 'FR1' parameter is set to 'A1U1' to use the drive's dial as the speed reference. It's emphasized that the profile should be set to 'separate' using the 'CHCF' parameter to ensure the run command and speed reference are independent. After setting the 'FR1' parameter, the 'CD1' parameter is configured to use the terminal as the active channel for starting and stopping the drive. The video concludes with instructions on how to adjust the speed using the dial and how to view the adjusted speed by entering the 'reference' menu.

Keywords

💡ATV320

The ATV320 is a variable frequency drive (VFD) manufactured by Schneider Electric. In the context of the video, it is the main equipment being configured and operated. The video provides a tutorial on how to use the ATV320's features for specific control purposes, such as setting up terminal control and using the keypad dial for speed reference.

💡Terminal Control

Terminal control refers to the method of controlling a device through its terminals or ports. In the video, the presenter demonstrates how to configure the ATV320 VFD to use its DI1 terminal for starting and stopping the drive, which is a common application in industrial automation where physical switches or sensors are connected to the drive.

💡DI1 Terminal

DI1, or Digital Input 1, is a specific terminal on the ATV320 VFD that can be used for digital inputs. The video script explains how to set up this terminal to act as a run command, which means it will be used to start or stop the motor connected to the drive based on the input signal received.

💡Speed Reference

Speed reference in a VFD context is the source that determines the speed at which the motor should operate. The video instructs viewers on how to set the drive's FR1 parameter to use the keypad dial as the speed reference, allowing for manual speed adjustment through the dial.

💡FR1 Parameter

The FR1 parameter in the ATV320 VFD is used to define the source of the speed reference. As explained in the video, setting FR1 to A1U1 configures the drive to use the keypad dial as the speed reference, which is a user-friendly way to control motor speed.

💡CHCF Parameter

The CHCF parameter in the ATV320 VFD is related to the control profile configuration. In the video, it is set to 'SEPARATE' to ensure that the run command and speed reference are independent of each other, allowing for separate control of starting/stopping and speed adjustment.

💡CD1 Parameter

CD1 stands for Control Device 1 and is a parameter in the ATV320 VFD that defines the active channel for starting and stopping the motor. The video script details setting CD1 to 'terminal' to ensure that the drive responds to the DI1 terminal for run commands.

💡Menu Navigation

Menu navigation refers to the process of accessing and selecting options within a device's user interface. The video provides step-by-step instructions on navigating the ATV320's menu to access and change various parameters, which is essential for configuring the drive to the user's requirements.

💡Profile

In the context of VFDs, a profile refers to the configuration settings that determine how the drive controls the motor. The video emphasizes setting the profile to 'SEPARATE' to allow for independent control of the run command and speed reference, which is crucial for customized motor control.

💡User Keypad Dial

The user keypad dial is a physical control on the ATV320 VFD used for adjusting settings such as speed. The video demonstrates how to configure the drive to use this dial as a speed reference, providing a hands-on method for operators to control motor speed during operation.

💡Parameter Assignment

Parameter assignment in the ATV320 VFD involves setting specific values to parameters to configure the drive's behavior. The video script includes instructions on how to assign values to parameters like FR1 and CD1, which are essential steps in customizing the drive's operation to meet specific control needs.

In this video, we will show you how to use the ATV320

drive to run using terminal control which is your DI1 terminal as a run

command to wire.

I want to also use a dial of the drive as a means of speed reference.

So for your main display, you want to enter to go into your Menu list,

and you want to scroll down and look for CONF, and then Enter.

Next, you want to go down to FULL, Enter again,

and now you want to scroll down to the CTL which is your Command menu.

So once you see that, Enter.

The first parameter as the FR1 parameter.

This is your speed reference parameter, and since you want your dial

to be your speed reference, you want to make sure

that the FR1 is set to A1U1 which is your actual dial.

Now, one thing that I want to show you actually before we do this,

you want to make sure that your profile is separate.

Because your run command is coming from terminals,

and your speed is coming from the keypad.

So you want to make sure your actual profile is set to separate first.

So before we even [INAUDIBLE] that far, I

want us to go ahead and scroll down to CHCF parameter which

is a profile parameter under the Control menu, and let's make that separate.

And from the factory, it's on the same reference.

So let's make it SEP for the parameter CHCF.

Make sure you press Enter on every single assignment

when you're changing a parameter value.

And once you're back to CHCF, now you can go counterclockwise back up to FR1,

and you want to go ahead and change that to A1U1 which is your dial.

So once you see that, Enter, and of course, it will switch you back to FR1.

Excuse me.

So once you're back to FR1, now you can go ahead

and set your command which is the CD1 parameter.

So CD1 is your actual active channel for starting and stopping,

and the FR1 parameter is your active channel for speed reference.

So we already have programmed your speed to come from your dial, which is A1U1.

Now, we're going to make sure that your command now

is looking at your terminal.

So CD1, when you press Enter, you want it to be on terminal, which it is

and in most cases, but just make sure your CD1 is terminals.

So now that you've done that, you can escape back out.

And one thing I want to show you here is when you want to change your speed--

when you give it a run command, you want to change

your speed-- you want to go ahead and Enter to go to reference.

Enter again, and you'll see that you will actually go into A1U1.

So when you first press Enter on it, on reference,

it will actually show your current active reference,

as that means the speed.

And of course, you can ramp it up and down

as much as you want with your dial.

And keep in mind that as you are ramping it up slowly or faster--

you can just keep turning your dial to go fast-- but you do have a range of 0%

to 100% as an actual speed reference for your dial.

And you can escape back out to see your main actual speed as well.

But just keep in mind that you will have to go into reference

and then Enter on reference to actually see an adjusted speed while you're

running your drive.

And this is how you program the ATV320 drive

to use your DI1 for starting and stopping terminals

and your user keypad dial--

your dial the drive--

as a means of speed reference.
