ABB Drives ACS 350 - Software Options
 

DrivePM

DrivePM (drive parameter manager) is a tool to create, edit and copy parameter sets for FlashDrop.  The parameter sets can consist of all parameters (incl. motor parameter and ID run results) or only a set of the user parameters.  For each parameter / group the user has a possibility to hide it, which means that the drive user does not see the parameter / group at all.

• DrivePM requirements
• Windows 2000 / XP
• Free serial port from a PC
• FlashDrop

DriveWindow Light 2

DriveWindow Light 2 is a simple to use start up and maintenance tool for ACS350 drives.  It can be used in an offline mode, which enables parameter setting at the office even before going to the actual site.  the parameter browser enables viewing, editing and saving of parameters.  The parameter comparison feature makes it possible to compare parameter values between the drive and the file.  With the parameter subset you can create your own parameter sets.  Control of the drive is naturally one of the features in DriveWindow Light.  With this software tool, you can monitor up to four signals simultaneously.  This can be done in both graphical and numerical format.  Any signal can be set to stop the monitoring from a predefined level.

Sequence Programming Tool

For ACS350, DriveWindow Light 2 offers sequence programming, which is a tool for setting up the sequence programming parameters.  The tool draws the programme graphically on the PC screen showing used states, active state, transition conditions, possible transition delay as well as used reference and ramp.

Sequence programming enables application specific programming.  This new and simple way to preset sequences reduces the need for an external programmable logic control (PLC).  In simple applications, an external PLC can be left out.
