1 What is SVDrive2? SVDrive2 is a Windows-based software tool for SV9000 adjustable frequency drives. With SVDrive2 you can upload parameters from the drive, modify their values, save to a file, download back to the drive, print on paper or to a file, set references, start and stop the motor, examine signals in graphical format (trend page) and monitor actual parameter values. You can use SVDrive2 either off-line or on-line. In the off-line mode, the changes you make are stored only on your computer and do not affect the drive. In the on-line mode you are directly accessing the drive parameters and all changes you make will be stored in the drive. What do you need? A PC, preferably at least a Pentium 166 with > 8 M memory and running Windows 3.1, Windows 95 or Windows NT. A RS232 cable to connect the drive and the PC. WARNING!!. Use only Cutler-Hammer supplied cables (catalog number SVDRIVECABLE). Any other cable may cause damage to your PC or to the drive. Files used with SVDrive2 There are several file types, each with a different purpose, associated with the SV9000 drive. Applications These software modules are part of the system software. They define the various SVReady applications built into the drive. As a part of the system software they cannot be modified in the field. Each application has an.ap2 file associated with it, defining the application type and the names of the parameters that are part of it. For a description of the various applications available, see the SV9000 User s Manual and the SVReady Manual Parameter lists These are PC files containing the parameter values used in an application. They have the extension.par, and are only used by the SVDrive software. A modified application would automatically be saved with this extension. Online and offline modes The program has two modes of operation: online and offline. In online mode you are connected directly to the drive and access all parameters directly. In offline you are not connected to the drive. Changes to parameters can be saved for download to the drive at a later time. 1

2 Working offline Working offline, you can change application parameters and save them to a file for later downloading to a drive. On opening SVDrive2 you will see a taskbar which looks like the one below. The taskbar has pull-down menus and buttons for rapid access to the various windows and functions available. To load a new application from the hard disk, go to (File New), click on the application of your choice and SVDrive will open the Parameter page with the new application loaded. You can change the parameters you wish and store them in a file. Using the Open File button you can open either a new application (with default values) or an existing parameter set. Note that when offline, any new application that you load, default parameter values are displayed for power, voltage and enclosure type. Be sure to change these to whatever the correct values are for your particular drive. The default values used for the motor and the utility line, in parameter group 1, are based on these values. The pull-down menus will show only the choices appropriate to the values in the other windows, i.e. if you choose C in the enclosure window, the power window will show ratings up to 30 Hp and the voltage window will show the available voltages. 2

3 Note that if you choose a 400 V drive, the ratings will be in kw not Hp. On the Parameter page you can change the parameters for the application you are working on. First choose the correct parameter group, then the parameter you want to change within the group. The present value is shown by the parameter name. The value can be changed in the box to the right. Numerical values can be changed by typing the correct value or by using the up and down arrows. Other values can be changed using the pull-down menu for the parameter and choosing the desired one. The program will ask you to confirm any changes outside the allowed limits. The language used for the parameters is changed in the Language box. The Parameter window is the only window that will work off-line. All other windows require connection to a drive. The remaining buttons offer shortcuts to their respective functions. The Upload and Download buttons require connection to a drive. These functions can also be reached from either the File or Drive pull-down menus. To load a set of stored parameters click on the Open File button or go to (File Open) and open the required parameter file. The corresponding application will be automatically loaded. 3

4 To restore the default values, go to (File Default). The parameters for the application displayed will be restored to their default values. Online mode On the Parameter page (see above) you can toggle between on-line and off-line modes. The program is automatically in online mode if: 1. You upload parameters from the drive 2. You download parameters to the drive. 3. You load a new application from the drive When you are in on-line mode, the changes you make to parameters are immediately stored in the drive. On the Parameter page you can change the parameters in the application you are working on. First choose the correct parameter group, then the parameter you want to change within the group. The present value is shown by the parameter name. The value can be changed in the box to the right. Numerical values can be changed by typing the correct value or by using the up and down arrows, other values can be changed using the pull-down menu for the parameter and choosing the desired setting. The program will ask you to confirm any changes outside the allowed limits. The language used for the parameters is changed in the Language box. Changing the active application in the drive In the Online Mode you can check which application is active in the drive and you can change the active application. 1. Select the Drive Application menu. 2. The active application is highlighted in the Application list. 4

5 3. You can change the active application by double-clicking the application name or by clicking the name and pressing the OK button. If you don't want to change the active application, press Cancel. The language button defines the language of the parameter descriptions. Changing the active application on your PC You can change the active application on your PC by choosing: - File New. A list of all available application files is shown. (Note that you may have to browse for the files, which have the extension.ap2) 1. Choose the application file from the Application list. 2. Double-click the application you wish to load or select application and press OK. A new application with default parameter values is loaded. Note that the program switches to off-line mode. Note: You have to choose the correct.ap2 file to be able to later download to the drive. The correct.ap2 file depends on the system software version as follows: System software sm90_xx (standard software for SVGraphic panel only) smfa052.ap2 = Basic smfa053.ap2 = Standard smfa054.ap2 = Local/Remote smfa055.ap2 = PI-Control smfa056.ap2 = Multi-Purpose smfa057.ap2 = Multi-Step smfa045.ap2 = PFC Control System software sm95_xx (standard software for SVGraphic panel and SVMulti-line panel) smfa067.ap2 = Basic smfa068.ap2 = Standard smfa069.ap2 = Local/Remote smfa070.ap2 = PI-Control smfa071.ap2 = Multi-Purpose smfa072.ap2 = Multi-Step smfa045.ap2 = PFC Control 5

6 or The available application files. - File Open. A previously saved parameter file (extension.par) is loaded and the application is changed to the application corresponding to that parameter set. or Drive Upload. Parameters are loaded from the drive and the application is changed to the active application in the drive. Changing the communications port 1. Select the Drive Ports menu. 2. Select new communications port. 6

7 The port chosen is stored in SVDrive s.ini-file, so you don't have to change the port every time you start the program. If you have other devices connected to this port, disconnect them. Changing the language in the drive You can change the language of the parameter display in the application by clicking Drive Application and selecting the language from the dropdown list on the parameter page. The parameter names will be displayed in the language you chose. If you operate in Offline mode, you can change the language of the parameters by selecting the language from the dropdown list on the parameter page. Note that you can still change the language shown by your PC by choosing the language from the Language dropdown list on the parameter page even if you are in Online mode, but this won t change the language in the drive. Every time you upload the parameters from the drive, the language will change to the language in the drive. Changing the measurement interval The measurement interval is used to tell the drive how often it should send new data to the PC. If your PC seems to be very slow when you are using SVDrive2, try to select a longer measurement interval. 1. Choose Drive Ports. 2. Select the new measurement interval. Changing the language of SVDrive2 You can change the language that is used in SVDrive2 s menus and buttons etc. by choosing File Preferences and choosing the language from the dropdown list. Downloading new parameter sets 1. If the motor is running, stop it. 2. Press the download button or choose Drive Download. When you download, all the parameters in the active application on your PC are written to the drive. The program will ask you to confirm the download. Window Actual values Takes you to the actual values page. 7

8 With the Actual Values page you can monitor five signal values at a time. These can be freely chosen from a pull down menu that opens as you click the boxes. If the connection to the drive is lost for some reason, you can reconnect by choosing a signal from one of the boxes. The Actual Value page Fault Takes you to the fault page. The Fault page is automatically shown in on-line mode when a fault or an alarm occurs. The Active fault and the fault history are shown on the same page. The fault remains active until you clear it with the Reset Active button. 8

9 You can clear the fault history by clicking the Reset History button. Note that the Fault page is shown automatically only if you are in Online mode, or you have opened the operating page, the trend page or the actual values page. The Fault page Operating Takes you to the operating page. The Operating page allows you to start and stop the motor, change the references, and use the programmable push-buttons, if the panel is the active control device. You can also define the active control device on this page If the connection to the drive is lost, you can reconnect by pressing the button between the pictures of the PC and drive. You can control the drive in two modes: Panel mode and RS232 mode. The operating page in Panel mode The Panel mode acts like a graphical interface to the drive. You can change the reference by clicking on the + and buttons to increase or decrease the speed, when this is the control device. (Panel Control radio button enabled ) 9

10 In the RS232 mode, the speed of the drive is set by entering a number for the set speed value. Trend Takes you to the trend page. With the trend page you can display three measured signals from the drive. However, only one signal is shown at a time. You can change between these three signals by choosing a signal from the Channel: box. Click on the Signal name: box to choose a signal. You can start and stop the trend by clicking the start/stop symbols: You can also change the minimum and maximum of the value axis and the length of the time axis. Signal value and time on the position of the marker are shown in the trend box. Click arrow buttons or directly on the trend box to see the value and time at that position. If the connection to the drive is lost for some reason, you can reconnect by choosing a signal in the Signal name: window 10

11 Note! You can not Save or Open parameter files when the Trend page is opened. The Info page Choose Drive Info to get information about the drive software. On the info page you will see: You can also change the file in the option card by choosing new file from the dropdown list and then pressing the Change button. 11
