Set LCD Panel ID
There is an EEPROM in the inverter which stores its supported LCD type ID
code. If you replace an LCD with one of a different brand or use a new
inverter, the ID information in the inverter EEPROM should be updated.
Follow the steps below to see the LCD Panel ID:
1. Follow the instructions on-screen to read current or to set new LCD Panel
ID code.
Note:
When you set a new LCD Panel ID and the new LCD is not yet
enabled (to function), connect an external CRT to see the
program execution process.
Note:
Make sure the new ID code you choose corresponds with the
LCD brand and type. If you write a wrong ID into the inverter, just
reboot and re-execute the program and input the correct ID code.
2. Restart the computer - the new LCD should work normally.
Note:
If LCD cannot display after changing the ID code, make sure you
select the correct ID code, or try reconnecting the LCD FPC cable
connectors.
