By default, DPI loss is set to fault drive, but it is recommended to change it to Hold last for better performance. On a 755, this can be adjusted using parameter 865. The process may vary for a 753. Please note that this is based on the assumption that your HIm is connected to DPI port 1, which is typically the default setting.

It's crucial to follow a safe procedure when removing the faceplate from a PowerFlex 753 to avoid any accidental system trips. From my experience, no parameters need to be changed for this task. However, I'd advise not tweaking any settings during this process, as it may affect the system operation. Keep in mind to safely power down before performing any task on the drive to prevent any electrical hazards.

This is a great topic, especially for those just getting familiar with PowerFlex 753 system handling. I think one thing people should keep in mind is to always power down the system first to avoid the risk of electrical shock before removing the faceplate. With regards to the parameters, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of your controlword and statusword registers. Correct parameter adjustments would mainly depend on your application requirements and the control mode you've selected (like V/f control, sensorless vector control, etc). But remember to always note down your original parameters before making any changes, just in case you need to revert back.

I've actually carried out this procedure a few times on the PowerFlex 753s in our factory. From my experience, the key parameters to adjust are the Motor Control and Speed Reference parameters. You also need to be careful not to accidentally pull on any of the connected wires when removing the faceplate, it can potentially disrupt the system's operation. Make use of the manual's diagrams for a clear understanding of how to detach it without causing any impact. By the way, always remember to wear safety gloves and eyewear during this process, safety is paramount.
