Parameter mm.000 (mm.000) is one parameter that can be accessed from every drive menu so that the user can initiate various actions by setting a value in this parameter and then performing a drive reset. If the action is completed successfully parameter mm.000 is cleared when the action is complete. If the action is not started because the value does not correspond to an action, or because the action is not allowed (i.e. an attempt is made to load defaults and the drive is enabled), parameter mm.000 is not cleared. If the action is started and then fails a trip is produced and parameter mm.000 is not cleared.
There could be some conflict between the actions of Parameter mm.000 (mm.000) and Parameter Cloning (11.042) when the drive is reset. If Parameter Cloning (11.042) has a value of 1 or 2 and a valid action is required from the value of parameter mm.000 then only the action required by parameter mm.000 is performed, but on successful completion of the action both parameters are cleared. If Parameter Cloning (11.042) has any other value it is not affected.
The table below shows the possible actions that can be initiated with Parameter mm.000 (mm.000).
Parameter mm.000 (mm.000) value | Action | Possible failures |
1000 | Save drive user save parameters to non-volatile memory. Power-down save parameters are saved when the drive enters the under voltage state. | No action if the drive is in the under voltage state |
1001 | Save drive parameters to non-volatile memory. It should be noted that power-down save parameters are also saved which will result in one background task scan being extended to 200ms. | |
1070 | Reset all option modules | |
1233 | Load 50Hz defaults | No action if the drive is enabled |
1234 | Load 50Hz defaults to all menus except option module menus (i.e 15 to 20 and 24 to 28) | No action if the drive is enabled |

9777 | NV media card: Clear the read-only flag | Non-volatile media card trips |
9888 | NV media card: Set the read-only flag | Non-volatile media card trips |
12000 | Only display parameters that are different from their default value. This action does not require a drive reset. | |
12001 | Only display parameters that are used to set-up destinations (i.e. DE format bit is 1). This action does not require a drive reset. | |
59999 | Deletes an onboard user program if a program is present. Note: Any parameter changes that have not been saved will be lost during this action. |
No action if the drive is enabled. No action if there is no program present. No action if the user program is enabled (i.e. Onboard User Program: Enable (11.047) = 1) |
Parameter mm.000 (mm.000) values from 1 to 14 are equivalent to other values as shown in the table below to allow easy access to some commonly used functions. For 0 and each of these values the keypad provides a string as shown.

Saving drive parameters
User-save and power-down save drive parameters are stored in non-volatile memory within the drive. Any values that have changed are copied to this memory under the following conditions.
Parameter type | Conditions for copy to non-volatile memory |
User-save parameter not visible in menu 0 |
Drive reset with 1000 in Parameter mm.000 (mm.000) if the drive is not in the under voltage state. OR OR OR OR OR |
User save parameter visible in menu 0 | Under the conditions given above for user save parameters not visible in Menu 0.
OR |
Power-down save parameter |
A drive reset with 1001 in Parameter mm.000 (mm.000). OR OR OR |
It can take some time for parameter data to be copied to non-volatile memory, especially if there are a large number of differences between the parameter values in the drive and the values stored in the memory. Saving Power-down save parameters takes a maximum of 300ms, but saving user-save parameters can take several seconds. If the drive is powered from a 24V control supply, or from a low voltage supply, the power down time of the control system can be very short and there is a risk that either the stored values of the power-down save or user-save parameters could be corrupted. This would result in an EEPROM Fail trip at the next power-up. To reduce this risk, the power-down save and user-save parameters are each stored in two banks. The banks are alternated each time a save is performed and the bank pointer is only updated once the save is complete. If the new bank is corrupted a User Save or Power Down Save is initiated at the next power-up indicating an error in the user-save or power-down save data respectively, and the data from the old bank is used. The following points should be noted:
Loading defaults
A drive reset with 1233 in Parameter mm.000 (mm.000) loads the defaults defined for each parameter. If defaults are loaded with 1244 in Parameter mm.000 (mm.000) then the parameters in the table below have different defaults that are intended for the 60Hz regions.
Parameter | Default | Drive modes | Drive voltage rating |
