2.6 ACCESS TO SET-UP MENUS

The unit settings are entered through the setup parameters. They can be displayed and
modified by using the appropriate Parameters menu or else directly from the toolbar, by
clicking on the corresponding icon. Unless the password has been entered previously, it
will be possible only to display the current settings, while transmission of modifications to
the unit will not be possible.
This mode of access to the settings of the controller is easier and more immediate com-
pared to direct access via the front keypad as the following items are displayed when us-
ing the PC:
Code of the parameter
−
− Description in relative language
Preset value
−
Bargraph or pull-down box with the possible options
−
The parameters have been grouped in two menus reflecting the organization described in
the User Manual:
− Basic Setup (basic settings such as CT primary, number and power ratings of the
steps etc.)
Advanced Setup (special modes of operation and other advanced functions)
−
Besides the two previous menus, there is also a third window giving the properties of the
alarms, where the user can modify the behaviour of the unit after an alarm occurs.
The complete group of settings of a controller can be stored in an ASCII text file on the
PC disk, so that it can be easily and quickly readily reloaded with the same settings in
another unit. Such function is very useful when having to program a series of controllers
with the same settings or when it is wished to keep an archive of the original settings of a
system.
To save the parameters on disk, select the Parameters-Save file menu and enter the re-
quired name.
The following items are stored in each file:
Type (number of steps) and internal revision of the unit.
−
Set-point of cosϕ
−
Parameters of the basic setup
−
− Parameters of the advanced setup

The extension associated with this type of file is .par. To perform the inverse operation,
i.e.
transfer a file from the PC to the controller, use the Parameters-Load file menu.
Obviously such operation is only possible between units of the same type, i.e. with the
same number of steps and with the same internal revision.
Furthermore, it is possible to obtain a print-out of the settings, which could be useful to file
together with the documentation of the system by using the Parameters-Print menu.
