Can someone tell me why I can't access P345 when I have P301 set to advanced or expert? It just scrolls past it when I try to go straight to it. There's a HIM, but no ethernet, PLC, etc. Thanks.

According to the manual P345 is not accessible when P301 is set to basic, but is when P301 is set to advanced or expert.

You might want to give AB tech support a call and ask them.

I've set P301 to advanced and expert, but can't access any of those respective parameters for some reason. The drive is stopped, and I get feedback like P301 has changed, but when I try to jump or scroll to an advanced parameter it just auto scrolls to the next basic parameter??? I feel like there's something stupid I'm doing here. I appreciate the help.

sometimes you have to cycle power to get the drive to actually accept some parameter changes. i don't use the him modules all that much. i get an ethernet card and use CCW. much faster and easier.

Yeah, I'm an idiot. Thanks for the help. It seemed to be a combination of cycling the power and changing the port that allowed me to change the needed parameter. It's working now.
