Sorry about that!.. THis is the Baldor VS1MD41 POST
 

any of you here work with industrial drives or just drives in general?

We purchased a bunch of baldor VS1MD41 AC drives (1 HP) which has
vector mode in it, that's a nice thing and they're economically priced how
ever, it took me a week in my spare time between other jobs to get the
drive to go into Vector mode. The parameter H40 has a range of 0..2 in
the manual, and Selection 2 is for sensorless vector. Using that did not
put the drive in Vector mode but in some other mode that acted more like
basic V/f control. An accidental discovary of scrolling the UI on the
drive on H40 option showed that 0..3 range existed! but according to the
manual, that's wrong how ever, I select #3 and there it is, Vector mode
and it works great...

I down loaded recent DOC's from baldor, no change has been made in
the H40 parameter...

I don't know if we have a bunch of drives (40 of them) that has a
problem in firmware or baldor just isn't aware of the DOC error ?

The reason I speculate on this is, the drives my employer purchased do
not have the membrane type keyboard like Baldor is currently offering
but uses real push buttons how ever, the lay out is exactly the same...

So we either have older stock or maybe newer stock ? Either way, there
is an eror in the DOC's and this POST is going to help those that failed
at it or maybe wake up some one...

Have a good day..

Jamie..
