For a motor drive, the control and drive functions are controlled by ___.

• A. Switch Settings
• B. Keypad Inputs
• C. Either A or B
• D. Neither A nor B

Answer: (C)

Motor drives are designed to be controlled through more than one interface. The hardware switch settings set up how the drive operates at a basic level—like run/stop, direction, and mode—while the keypad provides hands-on operator control, allowing you to start, stop, adjust speed, and change parameters during operation. Because both interfaces exist and can govern the drive’s behavior, you can use either method to control the drive. Some drives even support both simultaneously, giving flexibility in setup and use.
