Issue:ATV12 set up for R1 to show motor running status.
Product line:
Altivar 12, ATV12
Environment:
All models, all serial numbers
Resolution:
The Altivar 12 has an NO/NC programmable contact on terminals R1A-R1B-R1C. (NO is R1A to R1C, NC is R1B to R1C).
Relays accept both a 120V source or 24VDC.
To setup R1 to indicate the drive is running you need to assign this function to the R1 relay.
Go to the following menu:
COnF > FULL > I_O- > r1. Change this parameter to rUn.
When the drive is providing voltage to the motor, the R1A-R1C contact will be closed.
