28、how to set up the DataLoggers located in the ABB product. This chapter also details howto display the contents of the Data Loggers by using Drives Window.Chapter 10 - Event Logger Tool describes how to upload thecontents of the event logger from an ABB drive and display thecontents with Drives Windo
29、w.Chapter 11 - Fault Logger Tool describes how to upload the contentsof the fault logger of the ABB product and display the contents withDrives Window.Chapter 12 - Application Tool describes how to display the symbolsof an application and how to control the application programs of theABB drive.Appen
30、dix A describes version control.Appendix B describes different Drives Panels.Appendix C describes use of CDW.INI profile file.Appendix D describes use of DDCS channel, node autonumberingetc.Index lists major topics and the pages they appear on.In addition to this manual you can use documentation for
31、 productssupported by Drives Window. Supported products are listed inAppendix A.Listed below are the terms and conventions which have specialmeaning throughout this manual.Actual signals refer to the variables which the ABB productmeasures or calculates. These signals are also commonly termedfeedbac
32、k signals.The communication driver is a part of the Drives Window programwhich handles all of the communications with a product. Thecommunication driver passes the data between Drives Window andthe ABB product through the communication link.The communication link is the data bus which is used forcom
33、munication between the Drives Window program and the ABBproduct.The DDCS (Distributed Drive Communication System) link is a highspeed fibre optic data bus (communication link) dedicated for ABBdrives.RelatedPublicationsConventions Usedin This ManualActual SignalsCommunicationDriverCommunicationLinkD
34、DCS LinkChapter 1 - IntroductionDrives Window Users Manual 1 - 3The default drive is the active drive currently being used as thetargetdevice for Drives Window. The default drive can be set usingany of the drive selection commands in Drives Window.Parameters are operating instructions for the drive
35、program; they areorganized in logical parameter groups. Parameter values can bedownloaded, uploaded, saved to a file, viewed, and changed withthe use of Drives Window.The reference is an operating instruction to define e. g. the rotationalspeed or torque at the shaft of the motor.The Symbol Table is
36、 created by the AdvaBuild Function ChartBuilder (FCB) program. The items (symbols) of the symbol table canbe function block inputs or outputs in the drives application program.The commands sent by Drives Window are sent to an ABB productwhich is called the target device. The Drives Panel and each to
37、olhave designated target devices. The target device of a tool is thedefault product selected when the tool is started. For example, if youopen a new Signals and Parameters Tool window, it will display thesignals and parameters of the current default device. The targetdevice of the Drives Panel is al
38、ways the current default.The target driver is a part of the Drives Window program which takescare of all the target dependent parts of Drives Window.Default DriveParametersReferenceSymbol TableTarget DeviceTarget DriverChapter 1 - Introduction1 - 4 Drives Window Users ManualThis page is intentionall
39、y left blank.Drives Window Users Manual 2 - 1Chapter 2 - Overview of Drives WindowThis chapter provides a quick summary of the functions andoperation of the Drives Window program.Drives Window consists of several independent parts: the UserInterface, the Target Drivers, and the Communication Drivers
40、. Withthis component structure, enhanced flexibility is achieved to enableyou to work with several different types of products through differenttarget and communication drivers. The look and feel of the DrivesWindow program remains the same even when the product changes.The User Interface of Drives
41、Window allows you to access the mainfunctions of the program. The program follows the common userinterface guidelines for Windows program.The Target Driver includes all of the target-dependent information.The program identifies the type of the target device and starts thecorresponding target driver
42、automatically during initialization. Youcan even work with different types of products at the same time dueto the component structure of Drives Window.Drives Window can be used with different communication links. Thetypes of communication drivers you can use are defined by thetarget device. All you
43、need is the hardware for connecting the PC tothe communication link and the respective communication driver.Drives Window offers you several functions for commissioning andmonitoring ABB products. All of the functions are available from themain Menubar or Toolbar of the program. This manual alsodesc
44、ribes other access methods for the functions (See Chapter:User Interface).In Drives Window there are two special displays and six tools:Special Displays ToolsSystem Configuration Signals and Parameters ToolDrives Panel Monitoring ToolData Logger ToolEvent Logger ToolFault Logger ToolApplication Tool
45、You can work with several drives using several tools at the sametime. Each time a tool is started a new tool window is created.OverviewProgram StructureUser InterfaceTarget DriverCommunicationDriverDrives WindowFunctionsChapter 2 - Overview of Drives Window2 - 2 Drives Window Users ManualThe System
46、Configuration display provides you with an overview ofthe system as well as the type and status of each product on thecommunication link(s). Included in the System Configuration displayare also the previously saved files located on the hard disk of thecomputer. By double-clicking on a specific file,
47、 the correspondingDrives Window tool is started to display the contents of the file.The Drives Panel is used for controlling the operation of a selecteddrive within the system. You can control different drives by changingthe target drive selection. Commands available with the DrivesPanel depend on t
48、he currently active target. Usually there are thefollowing commands with the Panel: Start and Stop Set the speed reference Change the reference direction (forward/reverse for AC-drives) Reset the active fault Change the control between Drives Window and external controllocation StepIn addition to th
49、ese, there may be target dependant commandbuttons, for example Coast Stop (ACS 600 MultiDrive) and Homing(ACS 600 Motion Control). Different Drives Panels are described inthe Appendix B.The Signals and Parameters Tool is used for selecting signals,parameters, and application symbols used for monitoring. You canalso set the parameter values in either off-line and on-line mode.Several Signal and Parameter Tool windows for one or multipledrives can be used at the same time. When started, either the wholeParameter table or only the group headings are loaded dependingon
