Start-up15Start-upWhat this chapter containsThis chapter describes the basic start-up procedure of the drive and instructs in howto control the drive through the I/O interface.How to start up the driveThe drive can be operated:• locally from PC tool or control panel• externally via I/O connections or fieldbus interface.The start-up procedure presented uses the DriveStudio PC tool program. Drivereferences and signals can be monitored with DriveStudio (Data Logger or MonitorWindow). For instructions on how to use DriveStudio, see DriveStudio User Manual[3AFE68749026 (English)].The start-up procedure includes actions which need to be performed only when thedrive is powered up for the first time (e.g. entering the motor data). After the firststart-up, the drive can be powered up without using these start-up functions. Thestart-up procedure can be repeated later if start-up data needs to be changed.In addition to the PC tool commissioning and drive power-up, the start-up procedureincludes the following steps:• entering the motor data and performing the motor identification run• setting up the encoder/resolver communication• checking the emergency stop and Safe Torque Off circuits• setting up the voltage control• setting the drive limits• setting up the motor overtemperature protection• tuning the speed controller• setting up the fieldbus control.If an alarm or a fault is generated during the start-up, see chapter Fault tracing forthe possible causes and remedies. If problems continue, disconnect the main powerand wait 5 minutes for the intermediate circuit capacitors to discharge and check thedrive and motor connections.Before you start, ensure you have the motor nameplate and encoder data (ifneeded) at your hand.
