AB 160 VFD argh!

AB 160 VFD argh!

AB 160 VFD argh!

(OP)
I have a 160-AA08NSF1  hooked to a motor and powered up.

I've set P46 to "2" so I can theoretically control the motor entirely from the keyboard.

I've set P59 to 1 to use the internal freq source.
I've set P58 to 3.0Hz so if this thing starts(-ever-) I don't spin the pump fast in the wrong direction.

I can not get it to output any drive.

I'm running under the belief that I need no other FWD, START, etc., etc., wiring to just turn get the motor going and vary the speed.  Am I mistaken? (-probably-)

Have you also set p56 to 2 and cycled the power to the drive, as per the start up guide on 4-2.

Hi niallnz.

I have done both even though I read that as (either power cycle OR P56=>2).

No Joy.

Time to get some wires out, maybe put the stop link in between 7-8 on TB3.
