5.5 Parameter input with DriveMonitor
NOTE Please refer to the online help for detailed information on
DriveMonitor ( button or F1 key).
5.5.1 Installation and connection
5.5.1.1 Installation
A CD is included with the devices of the MASTERDRIVES Series when
they are delivered. The operating tool supplied on the CD (DriveMoni-
tor) is automatically installed from this CD. If "automatic notification on
change" is activated for the CD drive on the PC, user guidance starts
when you insert the CD and takes you through installation of
DriveMonitor. If this is not the case, start file "Autoplay.exe" in the root
directory of the CD.
5.5.1.2 Connection
There are two ways of connecting a PC to a device of the SIMOVERT
MASTERDRIVES Series via the USS interface. The devices of the
SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES Series have both an RS232 and an
RS485 interface.
RS232 interface The serial interface that PCs are equipped with by default functions as
an RS232 interface. This interface is not suitable for bus operation and
is therefore only intended for operation of a SIMOVERT
MASTERDRIVES device.

NOTICE DriveMonitor must not be operated via the Sub-D socket X300 if the
SST1 interface parallel to it is already being used for another purpose,
e.g. bus operation with SIMATIC as the master.

Parameterization 10.2004
RS485 interface The RS485 interface is multi-point capable and therefore suitable for
bus operation. You can use it to connect 31 SIMOVERT
MASTERDRIVES with a PC. On the PC, either an integrated RS485
interface or an RS232 RS485 interface converter is necessary. On
the device, an RS485 interface is integrated into the -X300 (compact
PLUS -X103) connection. For the cable: see pin assignment -X300 and
device documentation of the interface converter.

5.5.2.1 Setting the USS interface
You can configure the interface with menu Tools ONLINE Settings.

The following settings (Fig. 5-9) are possible:
Tab card "Bus Type", options
USS (operation via serial interface)
Profibus DP (only if DriveMonitor is operated under Drive ES).
Tab card "Interface"
You can enter the required COM interface of the PC (COM1 to
COM4) and the required baudrate here.
NOTE Set the baudrate to the baudrate parameterized in SIMOVERT
MASTERDRIVES (P701) (factory setting 9600 baud).
Further settings: operating mode of the bus in RS485 operation;
setting according to the description of the interface converter
RS232/RS485
Tab card "Extended"
Request retries and Response timeout; here you can increase the
values already set if communication errors occur frequently.

5.5.2.2 Starting the USS bus scan
DriveMonitor starts with an empty drive window. Via the menu "Set up
an ONLINE connection..." the USS bus can be scanned for connected
devices:
Fig. 5-10 Starting the USS bus scan
NOTE The "Set up an online connection menu is only valid from Version 5.2
onwards.
Fig. 5-11 Search for online drives
During the search the USS bus is scanned with the set baudrate only.
The baud rate can be changed via "Tools ONLINE Settings", see
section 5.5.2.1.

5.5.2.3 Creating a parameter set
With menu File New ... you can create a new drive for
parameterization (see Fig. 5-12). The system creates a download file
(*.dnl), in which the drive characteristic data (type, device version) are
stored. You can create the download file on the basis of an empty
parameter set or the factory setting.
Fig. 5-12 Creating a new drive
Based on factory setting:
The parameter list is preassigned with the factory setting values
Empty parameter set:
For compilation of individually used parameters
If the parameters of a parameter set that has already been created
have to be changed, this can be done by calling the corresponding
download file via the File Open menu function. The last four drives
can be opened via Parameter sets last dealt with.
When you create a new drive, the window "Drive Properties" (Fehler!
Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.) opens. Here you
must enter the following data:
In dropdown list box "Device type", select the type of device (e.g.
MASTERDRIVES MC). You can only select the devices stored.
In dropdown list box "Device version", you can select the software
version of the device. You can generate databases for (new)
software versions that are not listed when you start online
parameterization.
You must only specify the bus address of the drive during online
operation (switchover with button Online/Offline)

Parameterization 10.2004
NOTE The specified bus address must be the same as that of the
parameterized SST bus address in SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES
(P700).
No bus address is assigned to the drive with the button "Disconnect
network connection".
NOTE Field "Number of PCD" has no special significance for the
parameterization of MASTERDRIVES and should be left at "2".
If the value is changed, it must be/remain ensured that the setting value
in the program matches the value in parameter P703 of the drive at all
times.

After confirming the drive properties with ok you have to enter the name
and storage location of the download file to be created.

5.5.3 Parameterization
5.5.3.1 Structure of the parameter lists, parameterization with DriveMonitor
Parameterization using the parameter list is basically the same as
parameterization using PMU (See Chapter 6 "Parameterizating Steps").
The parameter list provides the following advantages:
Simultaneous visibility of a larger number of parameters
Text display for parameter names, index number, index text,
parameter value, binectors, and connectors
On a change of parameters: Display of parameter limits or possible
parameter values
The parameter list has the following structure:
Field Field Name Function
No.
1 P. Nr Here the parameter number is displayed. You can only change the field in
menu Free parameterization.
2 Name Display of the parameter name, in accordance with the parameter list
3 Ind Display of the parameter index for indexed parameters. To see more than
index 1, click on the [+] sign. The display is then expanded and all indices of
the parameter are displayed
4 Index text Meaning of the index of the parameter
5 Parameter Display of the current parameter value. You can change this by double-
value clicking on it or selecting and pressing Enter.
6 Dim Physical dimension of the parameter, if there is one

Parameterization 10.2004
With buttons Offline, Online (RAM), Online (EEPROM) (Fig. 5-14 [1])
you can switch modes. When you switch to online mode, device
identification is performed. If the configured device and the real device
do not match (device type, software version), an alarm appears. If an
unknown software version is recognized, the option of creating the
database is offered. (This process takes several minutes.)
Fig. 5-14 Drive window/parameter list
The DriveMonitor drive window has a directory tree for navigation
purposes (Fig. 5-14 [2]). You can deselect this additional operating tool
in menu View - Parameter selection.

10.2004 Parameterization
The drive window contains all elements required for the
parameterization and operation of the connected device. In the lower
bar, the status of the connection with the device is displayed:
Connection and device ok
Connection ok, device in fault state
Connection ok, device in alarm state
Device is parameterized offline
No connection with the device can be established (only offline
parameterization possible).
NOTE If no connection with the device can be established because the device
does not physically exist or is not connected, you can perform offline
parameterization. To do so, you have to change to offline mode. In that
way, you can create an individually adapted download file, which you
can load into the device later.
