Starting & Stopping

The drive supports multiple operating modes, allowing the drive to be started and stopped using the keypad, control terminals, communications networks, application functions and external control systems.

The source of the run command is determined by the configured control source and associated settings.

Control Source Selection

The primary control method is selected using P-12.0 - Control Source.

This parameter determines where the drive receives its run and stop commands from.
