1 Explorer The HPV Explorer is a serial communication program used to work with the HPV 600/900 s parameters via a computer s serial port The program can: 1. Transfer parameters from the PC to the drive (HPV 600/900) 2. Transfer parameters from the drive (HPV 600/900) to the PC 3. Compare two parameter files and report any differences 4. Save the parameters to a file 5. Edit parameter values on the PC 6. Print parameters with settings This document describes the following functions: Connections and Start-up page 3 HPV PC page 4 PC HPV page 6 Print page 10 Create HTML file page 11 Edit Header page 12 Compare page 13 Open page 15 Save to Disk page 17 Navigating menus and changing parameters page 18 Installation page 21 Reference for the latest revision of the HPV Explorer software

3 Connections and Start-up 1. Ensure the proper electrical connections between the digital operator port of the HPV 600/900 and the serial port (COM1 or COM2 or COM3 or COM4) of a Windows based computer. The cable used to make the electrical connection is a straight DB-9 cable. (Magnetek pn HPV-CABLE) 2. From Windows execute HPV-Explorer.exe or double-click on the icon. 3. Select proper serial COMM port Troubleshooting tip If the following message appears Select a valid serial COMM port available on the PC 3

4 HPV PC transferring parameters from the HPV to PC HPV PC is the process of the HPV 600/900 sending all of its parameter values (from a file with the extension.par) to a computer. This process can be used for memory backup. A data transfer from the drive to the computer is the only one possible while the drive is running a motor. 1. Select the HPV PC function Troubleshooting tip If changes have been made to a currently loaded parameter file, the software will prompt if the changes should be saved 2. Select parameter file path and name 4

5 3. Parameter transfer Troubleshooting tip If the following message appears Check if cabling between PC and HPV 600/900 Ensure HPV 600/900 is powered on Check for proper Comm Port selection 4. Displaying Transferred Parameters 5

6 PC HPV transferring parameters from the PC to HPV PC HPV is the process of a computer sending all settable parameters (normally the.par file) to a HPV 600/900. This process can be used to set up the drive with a set of pre-configured parameters. IMPORTANT It is not recommended for the HPV 600/900 to be running a motor while transferring parameters from the PC to the HPV drive PC HPV. This could lead to a dangerous operating condition. 1. Select the PC HPV function 2. Initiating parameter transfer to drive 6

7 Troubleshooting tip If the following message appears Check if cable between PC and HPV 600/900 Ensure HPV 600/900 is powered on Check for proper Comm Port selection 3. Parameter transfer Troubleshooting tip If the following message appears If window shows differences is minimum values, it maybe OK to proceed (since some default values are below the defined minimums) If window shows differences other than minimum values, look more closely at this Troubleshooting tip If the following message appears Password protection on the HPV must be disabled for parameters to be transferred to this drive PASSWORD LOCKOUT=disabled (U1) 7

8 Troubleshooting tip If the following message appears The units selection must be changed to match the parameter file (U3) Troubleshooting tip If the following message appears The software revision is not the same between the drive and the parameter file If the transfer continues, only the identifiable parameters will be transferred Troubleshooting tip If the following message appears A parameter was changed and was not saved via Save to Disk function 4. Parameter transfer complete 8

9 5. Parameter transfer options Transfer filename.par to the HPV will send parameter file to HPV after first checking the software version and parameter structure on the HPV Resend will send parameter file to HPV without first checking the software version and parameter structure on the HPV. Note: the resend function will only be enabled after a successfully parameter transfer has occurred and is disabled if the drive is powered down or the cable is disconnected. This is most useful when actively editing parameters rather than using the digital operator. Exit returns to main screen 9

10 Print transferring parameters from the HPV to the PC 1. Select the Print function. This will print to the PC s defined default printer. 10

11 Create HTML file allows you to create an electronic parameter file 1. Select the Create HTML file function. 2. Select HTML file path and name 11

12 Edit Header allows you to edit the header for parameter file 1. Select the Edit Header function. 2. Edit the header text. 12

13 Compare allows you to compare two parameter sets (either drive or file) 1. Select the Compare function. 2. Comparing parameters to another parameter file. Select Compare to FILE and Browse for file on disk 3. Select parameter file path and name. 13

14 4. Comparing parameters to HPV 600/900 parameters. Select Compare to an HPV drive and Get PAR from serial port Troubleshooting tip If the following message appears Check if cable between PC and HPV 600/900 Ensure HPV 600/900 is powered on Check for proper Comm Port selection 5. Once the parameter transfer is complete, Select Begin Comparison 6. The parameter comparison is displayed The differences can be sent to either the default printer via Print Difference Report or an electronic HTML file Create HTML Difference Report 14

15 Open opening a parameter file from disk 1. Select the Open function 2. Select parameter file path and name 15

16 3. Displayed Parameter File 16

17 Save to Disk saving a changed parameter file to disk 1. Select the Save to Disk function Troubleshooting tip If the following Save to Disk appears grayed out, it means you have not made any changes to your loaded parameter file 2. Select parameter file path and name 17

18 Navigating menus and changing parameters 1. First, load parameters into the HPV Explorer via Open or HPV PC 2. Navigating menus Menu selection buttons Used to select available menus 3. Navigating sub-menus Sub-menu selection buttons Used to select available submenus (first select menu) 18

19 4.

Additionally, it shows the allowable minimum and maximum values. Troubleshooting tip If the following message appears, it means you tried to enter a parameter below the minimum allowable value Troubleshooting tip If the following message appears, it means you tried to enter a parameter above the maximum allowable value 19

20 Changing Selectable Parameter Selection choices will be shown Changed Parameters Changed parameters are shown in italics until they have been saved via Save to Disk function 20

21 Installation 1. Execute HPV-Explorer_install.exe Troubleshooting tip If the following the Modify, repair, or remove the program screen appears, it means the HPV Explorer program is already installed. Select Repair option, if updating to the latest version 2. Start installation 21
