Abstract

A method for setting a plurality of operation constants in an inverter device to control variably the speed of an induction motor, the method which changes a value representing the operation constant on a display stepwise in one direction of increase and decrease due to an operation of at least one constant operation setting key. The method increases the stepwise change of the value gradually corresponding to a continuously increasing time of another setting key operation, and set the value on the display as an aimed value of the operation constant.

Claims

1. A control system for setting operation constants in an inverter device, the inverter device variably controlling the speed of an induction motor, said control system comprising:

a display for displaying the current value of the operation constants;

an up key for increasing an increment constant corresponding to a motor operation constant increase made after a time interval;

a down key for decreasing an increment constant corresponding to a motor operation constant decrease made after a time interval;

a fast feed key for increasing the speed at which possible increment constants are displayed; and

a set key for setting the displayed increment constant for the motor operation constant.

2. The control system of claim 1, wherein a central processing unit receives inputs from the keys and outputs the value of the operation constants to the display, a ROM storing program instructions outputs those instructions to the central processing unit, and a RAM outputs and inputs operation constant values to and from the central processing unit.

3. A control system for setting operation constants in an inverter device, the inverter device variably controlling the speed of an induction motor, said control system comprising:

display means for displaying the current value of the operation constants;

first input means for increasing or decreasing an increment constant corresponding to a motor operation constant increase or decrease made after a time interval;

second input means for increasing the speed at which possible increment constants are displayed by the display means; and

third input means for setting the displayed increment constant for the motor operation constant.

4. The control system of claim 3, wherein a central processing unit receives inputs from the first, second, and third input means and outputs the value of the operation constants to the display means, a ROM storing program instructions outputs those instructions to the central processing unit, and a RAM outputs and inputs operation constant values to and from the central processing unit.

5. The control system of claim 3, wherein the operation constants include a maximum rotation frequency of the induction motor.

6. The control system of claim 3, wherein the operation constants include an acceleration or deceleration of the induction motor.

7. The control system of claim 3, wherein the operation constants include an ASR proportion.

8. The control system of claim 3, wherein the display means comprises a liquid crystal display.
