Parameter Descriptions

Parameter 0 – Exit to Running Mode
When parameter 0 is selected in Parameter-Selection Mode, the unit will return to Running
Mode and display the running value. This should be selected once changes to parameters are
completed.
Parameter 1 – Model Number (Read Only)
This is a number which represents the base model number for the product. The model codes
for the MD10P ,MD3P, and MD3E are 10 ,11, and 13 respectively.
Parameter 2 – Software Build (Read Only)
The software build is a code which identifi es the software version of the unit.
Parameter 3 – Hardware Version (Read Only)
The hardware version is a code which identifi es which hardware was used to build the unit.
Parameter 4 & 5 – Serial Number, Major & Minor (Read Only)
These parameters are reserved for future use as an electronic serial number and are unique
to each manufactured unit.
Parameter 10 – Operating Mode
This parameter defi nes the operating mode for the entire unit. There are two basic modes of
operation, master and follower. In master modes, the unit controls the load using either rate
or time units. In follower mode, the unit controls the load in percentage of master rate. The
following modes are available for the MDP:
Mode 1 – Master, Rate Mode
In Rate Mode, the MDP displays in user-defi ned rate units such as RPM, Gallons per
Hour, or Feet per Second. See applications for examples.
Mode 2 – Master, Time Mode
In Time Mode, the MDP displays in time units using the format AA:BB. By default AA:BB
represents minutes (AA) and seconds (BB). Optionally, it can be confi gured to represent
hours (AA) and minutes (BB) or other user-defi ned units with a 1:60 relationship. When
setting parameters which are confi gured in display units, the programmed value is the
determined by the formula (AA * 60) + BB. In HH:MM displays, this is the total number
of minutes. In MM:SS displays, this is the total number of seconds. See applications
for examples.
Mode 3 – Follower Mode
In Follower Mode, the MDP displays in percentage units, where 1000 equals 100.0 percent
of the master rate. For example, if the display indicates 985, 98.5, or 9.85, the MDP will
attempt to run at exactly 98.5 percent of the master rate. Display settings are always
entered ignoring the decimal point's position. See applications for more examples.
Parameter 11 – Display Intensity
This parameter adjusts the intensity of the LED display digits in the front panel of the unit. The
values of 0 – 31 correspond to a gradual change from very dim to very bright. This is often useful
when the MDP is used in the same panel as other pieces of equipment with LED displays and
a uniform display brightness is desired. Simply adjust the MDP to match its surroundings.
Parameter 13 – Decimal Point (DP) Position
This selects the format of the display with respect to the decimal point's position. This parameter
does not effect the value entry for other parameters. For example, if the user desires to display
10.00 at 300RPM, then parameter 30 would be set to 1000, parameter 31 would be set to 300,
and parameter 13 would be set to 2.
Mode 0: Fixed XXXX
Mode 1: Fixed X.XXX
Mode 2: Fixed XX.XX
Mode 3: Fixed XXX.X
Mode 4: Fixed XXXX.
