New keypad makes drives even easier to use
ABB has launched a keypad with features that make programming and operating variable-speed drives more straightforward than ever.
The new keypad has a left and right key, allowing numbers to be edited digit by digit, or words to be edited character by character. This gives very rapid and intuitive editing for all parameters and text values, while also making it easier to move through the assistants.
The screen has an adjustable contrast offering white text on black, black text on white and several other contrasts to suit the lighting levels in the control room.
On start-up, the user sees home screens, which can be easily edited to display the information and parameters the user requires. Each of the home screens can hold up to three selected parameters, which can be displayed in various formats, such as history trend graphs, amplitude loggers, peak load detectors and load profiles.
