5.1 Parameter menus

Parameters with related functions are compiled in menus for structuring
the parameter set stored in the units. A menu thus represents a
selection out of the entire supply of parameters of the unit.
It is possible for one parameter to belong to several menus. The
parameter list indicates which individual menus a parameter belongs to.
Assignment is effected via the menu number allocated to each menu.

Menu levels The parameter menus have several menu levels. The first level
contains the main menus. These are effective for all sources of
parameter inputs (PMU, OP1S, SIMOVIS, field bus interfaces).
The main menus are selected in parameter P60 Menu Selection.
Examples:
P060 = 0 "User parameters" menu selected
P060 = 1 "Parameter menu" selected
...
P060 = 8 "Power section definition" menu selected
Menu levels 2 and 3 enable the parameter set to be more extensively
structured. They are used for parameterizing the units with the OP1S
operator control panel.

Parameterization 10.2001

User parameters In principle, parameters are firmly assigned to the menus. However, the
"User parameters" menu has a special status. Parameters assigned to
this menu are not fixed, but can be changed. You are thus able to put
together the parameters required for your application in this menu and
structure them according to your needs.
The parameters to be included in the "User parameters" menu are
selected in parameter P360 (Select UserParam). This parameter is
indexed and permits the input of 100 parameter numbers. The
sequence in which the parameter numbers are entered also determines
the sequence in which they appear in the "User parameters" menu. If
parameters with parameter numbers greater than 999 are to be
included in the menu, they have to be input in the usual notation for the
OP1S (replacing letters by figures).

Example Parameterization Contained in "User parameters" menu:

of P360
P360.1 = 053 P053 Parameter access (always contained)
P360.2 = 060 P060 Menu select (always contained)
P360.3 = 462 P462 Accel Time
P360.4 = 464 P464 Decel Time
P360.5 = 235 P235 n-Reg Gain1
P360.6 = 240 P240 n-Reg Time
P360.7 = 2306 U306 Timer5 Time_s

5-4 Compendium Vector Control SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES
10.2001 Parameterization

Lock and key In order to prevent undesired parameterization of the units and to
protect your know-how stored in the parameterization, it is possible to
restrict access to the parameters by defining your own passwords with
the parameters:
♦ P358 key and
♦ P359 lock.
If P358 and P359 do not have the same parameterization, only the
"User parameters" and the "Fixed settings" menus can be selected in
parameter P60 (Menu selection). This means that only the enabled
parameters in the "User parameters" menu and the parameters of the
"Fixed settings" menu are accessible to the operator. These restrictions
are canceled again only if P358 and P359 are given the same
parameter setting.
You should proceed in the following manner when using the lock and
key mechanism:
1. Adopt key parameter P358 in the "User parameters" menu
(P360.x = 358).
2. Program the lock parameter P359 in both parameter indices with
your specific password.
3. Change over to the "User parameters" menu.
Depending on the parameterization of the key parameter P358 (the
same or not the same as P359), you can now leave the "User
parameters" menu and carry out or not carry out further
parameterization (Exception: "Fixed settings" menu).
Examples:
Lock Key Event
P359.1 = 0 P358.1 = 0 Lock and key have the same parameter
P359.2 = 0 P358.2 = 0 setting, all menus are accessible.
(Factory setting) (Factory setting)
P359.1 = 12345 P358.1 = 0 Lock and key do not have the same
P359.2 = 54321 P358.2 = 0 parameter setting, only the "User
parameters" and "Fixed settings" menus
are accessible.
5-3.2 = 54321 P358.1 = 12345 Lock and key have the same parameter
P358.2 = 54321 setting, all menus are accessible.

Table 5-3 Examples of using the lock and key mechanism

NOTE If you should forget or lose your password, access to all the parameters
can only be restored by carrying out a parameter reset to factory setting
("Fixed settings") menu.

5.3 Parameter input via the PMU

The PMU parameterizing unit enables parameterization, operator
control and visualization of the converters and inverters directly on the
unit itself. It is an integral part of the basic units. It has a four-digit
seven-segment display and several keys.
The PMU is used with preference for parameterizing simple
applications requiring a small number of set parameters, and for quick
parameterization.

Toggle key As the PMU only has a four-digit seven-segment display, the 3
(P key) descriptive elements of a parameter
♦ Parameter number,
♦ Parameter index (if parameter is indexed) and
♦ Parameter value
cannot be displayed at the same time. For this reason, you have to
switch between the individual descriptive elements by depressing the
toggle key. After the desired level has been selected, adjustment can
be made using the raise key or the lower key.

With the toggle key, you can change Parameter number

over:
• from the parameter number to the P

parameter index
• from the parameter index to the
parameter value Parameter Parameter
index value
• from the parameter value to the
parameter number P
If the parameter is not indexed, you
can jump directly to the parameter
value.

NOTE If you change the value of a parameter, this change generally becomes
effective immediately. It is only in the case of acknowledgement
parameters (marked in the parameter list by an asterisk ‘ * ’) that the
change does not become effective until you change over from the
parameter value to the parameter number.
Parameter changes made using the PMU are always safely stored in
the EEPROM (protected in case of power failure) once the toggle key
has been depressed.

5.4 Parameter input via the OP1S

5.4.1 General

The operator control panel (OP1S) is an optional input/output device

which can be used for parameterizing and starting up the units. Plain-
text displays greatly facilitate parameterization.
The OP1S has a non-volatile memory and can permanently store
complete sets of parameters. It can therefore be used for archiving sets
of parameters, but first the parameter sets must be read out (upread)
from the units. Stored parameter sets can also be transferred
(downloaded) to other units.
The OP1S and the unit to be operated communicate with each other via
a serial interface (RS485) using the USS protocol. During
communication, the OP1S assumes the function of the master whereas
the connected units function as slaves.
The OP1S can be operated at baud rates of 9.6 kBd and 19.2 kBd, and
is capable of communicating with up to 32 slaves (addresses 0 to 31). It
can therefore be used in a point-to-point link (e.g. during initial
parameterization) or within a bus configuration.
The plain-text displays can be shown in one of five different languages
(German, English, Spanish, French, Italian). The language is chosen by
selecting the relevant parameter for the slave in question.

[Link] Run-up

After the power supply for the unit connected to the OP1S has been
turned on or after the OP1S has been plugged into a unit which is
operating, there is a run-up phase.

NOTICE The OP1S must not be plugged into the Sub D socket if the SCom1
interface parallel to the socket is already being used elsewhere,
e.g. bus operation with SIMATIC as the master.

NOTE In the as-delivered state or after a reset of the parameters to the factory
setting with the unit’s own control panel, a point-to-point link can be
adopted with the OP1S without any further preparatory measures.
When a bus system is started up with the OP1S, the slaves must first
be configured individually. The plugs of the bus cable must be removed
for this purpose (see section "Bus operation").

During the run-up phase, the text "Search slave" is shown in the first
line of the display, followed by "Slave found" and the found slave
number as well as the set baud rate.

After a further 2 s, there is a changeover to the operating display. If it is

not possible to start communicating with the slave, an error message

Number of PKWs (P702): 127
Number of PZDs (P703): 2 or 4
Telegram failure time (P704): 0 ms
If communication with the slave is still impossible, the reasons may be
as follows:
♦ Defective cabling
♦ Bus operation with two or more slaves with the same bus address
(see section "Bus operation")
♦ The baud rate set in the slave is neither 9.6 nor 19.2 kBd
In the latter case, an error message "Error: No slave found" appears.
The unit’s own PMU control panel must then be used to set parameter
P701 (baud rate) to 6 (9.6 kBd) or 7 (19.2 kBd) or to reset the
parameters to the factory setting.

can be upread and stored in the flash memory inside the OP1S.
Parameters of a possibly inserted technology board are not taken into
account (e.g. T100, T300). The SIMOVIS program is required here.
Starting from the basic menu, the "OP: Upread" function is selected
with "Lower" or "Raise" and started with "P". If the available memory is
insufficient, the procedure is interrupted with an appropriate error
message. During upread, the OP1S indicates the parameters currently
being read. In addition, the slave number is shown at the top on the
right-hand side.

If there is no parameter index, this level is skipped. The parameter
index and the parameter value can be corrected directly with the
"Raise"/"Lower" keys. An exception to this are parameter values shown
in binary form. In this case, the individual bits are selected with
"Raise"/"Lower" and corrected with the numerical keys (0 or 1).
If the index number is entered by means of the numerical keys, the
value is not accepted until "P" is pressed. If the "Raise" or "Lower" keys
are used to correct the number, the value comes into effect
immediately. The acceptance of an entered parameter value and return
to the parameter number does not take place until "P" is pressed. The
level selected in each case (parameter number, parameter index,
parameter value) is marked with the cursor. If an incorrect parameter
value is entered, the old value can be obtained by pressing "Reset".
The "Reset" key can also be used to go one level lower.

5.4.4 Bus operation

In order to start operating a bus system with the OP1S, the slaves must
first be configured individually. To do this, the bus connecting cable
between the slaves must be interrupted (pull out the bus-cable plug).
For configuration, the OP1S is connected with each slave one after the
other. A precondition for carrying out the configuration is a baud rate of
9.6 or 19.2 kBd set in the slave (see section "Run-up").

[Link] Configuring slaves

Starting from the basic menu, the "Config. slave" function is selected
with "Lower"/"Raise" and activated with "P". The user is now requested
to enter a slave address.

Example of activating the "Config. slave" function

After a different slave address for each slave has been entered by
means of the "Raise" key or with the numerical keypad and confirmed
with "P", configuration is carried out, i.e. the interface parameters are
set to the standard value (see section "Run-up"). In addition, the slave
address is entered and a baud rate of 9.6 kBd is set in the slave. After
configuration has been completed, the message "Configuration ok"
appears, followed by a return to the basic menu. If the configuration of
all slaves has been successfully completed, bus operation can be
started after the bus connection between the slaves has been restored.

NOTE During bus operation, each slave must have a different address (P700).
Bus operation is also possible at 19.6 kBd (set P701 to 7). The baud
rate, however, must be set the same in all slaves.

5.5 Parameter input with SIMOVIS / DriveMonitor

Operation of SIMOVIS/ DriveMonitor via the PC and USS interfaces is
described below.

5.5.1 Installation and connection

[Link] Installation

A CD is included with the devices of the MASTERDRIVES Series when

they are delivered. The operating tool supplied on the CD
(SIMOVIS/DriveMonitor) 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 SIMOVIS/DriveMonitor. If this is not the case,
start file "[Link]" in the root directory of the CD.

[Link] 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.

SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES Compendium Vector Control 5-33
Parameterization 10.2001

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 Bus configuration (SIMOVIS)

After you have launched SIMOVIS, the "SIMOVIS bus configuration"
window appears. Here you must define, how many devices are to be
addressed by SIMOVIS, of what type (device series from the
SIMOREG or SIMOVERT families) these devices are, and how the
connection with the devices is configured.

After you have confirmed the drive settings with ok, you can still specify
the name and the storage location of the download file to be created.
After that, the parameter list opens in offline mode (Fig. 5-20).
With buttons Offline, Online (RAM), Online (EEPROM) (Fig. 5-20 [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

5.5.5 Operation with USS

Using SIMOVIS/DriveMonitor, you can not only parameterize but also

perform simple operation of the device. You can define a setpoint and
display an actual value. For control purposes, you can define a control
word and display a status word.

[Link] Requirements

For operation via the USS interface, you must implement minimum
connector/binector wiring at the MASTERDRIVE VC/MC end:
Minimum settings Wire the first word received via the serial interface SST1 Word1 to the
control word of the drive:
Basic device SST1 Comment
parameters binector
P554 B2100 required (acc. to fast parameterization)
P555 B2101 required (acc. to fast parameterization)
P558 B2102 not required for the basic functionality
P561 B2103 not required for the basic functionality
P562 B2104 not required for the basic functionality
P563 B2105 not required for the basic functionality
P564 B2106 not required for the basic functionality
P565 B2107 required (acc. to fast parameterization)
P568 B2108 required (acc. to fast parameterization)
P569 B2109 not required for the basic functionality
P571 B2111 required (acc. to fast parameterization)
P572 B2112 required (acc. to fast parameterization)
P573 B2113 not required for the basic functionality
P574 B2114 not required for the basic functionality
P575 B2115 not required for the basic functionality
Then wire the second word received via the serial interface word, SST1
Word2, to the setpoint of the drive (e.g. for speed setpoint P443 =
K2002).
The drive must transmit the following values for monitoring purposes:
♦ Status_word1 in the first word transmitted
(P707.1 = K032)
♦ The actual value in the second word transmitted (e.g. for speed
actual value P707.2 = KK148).
You can also make this setting, which is the minimum required, with
function Quick Parameter Setting Å Select Setpoint Source (P368) =
USS. In that case, however, only the control word wiring marked
necessary is established.

6SE7087-6QX60 (Version AE) Siemens AG

5-50 Compendium Vector Control SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES
10.2001 Parameterization

Complete setting Drive control and monitoring is performed in four process data words.
For that purpose, set PZD = 4 during device selection. (See Section
[Link] "Selecting a device".)
In addition to the minimum setting, also establish the following wiring:
♦ To ensure that the double connectors are available with full
resolution, also transmit the setpoint and actual value in Word3.
Example of speed setpoint and speed actual value:
Wire P443 = KK2032, P707.3 = KK148.
♦ Control_word2 and Status_word2 are also made available for
operation. This is done by wiring the fourth word received via the
serial interface (B2400...B2415) to Control_word2 of the drive.
♦ Transmit Status_word2 with the fourth word of the serial interface
(P707.4 = K033).
With this parameterization, the full scope of operation and monitoring
available under SIMOVIS/DriveMonitor is functional.

You can read out and store the parameterization of the connected
device with function Upread. You can call up the function with menu
Datei Å Upread Å Grundgerät... (Fig. 5-31 [1]) or on the toolbar (Fig.
5-31 [2]). You can select either a complete upread of all parameters or
readout of those values that are different from the factory setting.

Fig. 5-31 Upread/Download

The values read out are stored under the name specified in a file with
extension .dnl. After the function has finished, the message UpRead for
file XXX successful/terminated with errors is displayed and you must
acknowledge it.
You can transmit the files created in this way into a device with function
Download. You can call up the function with menu File Å Download...
(Fig. 5-31 [3]) or on the toolbar (Fig. 5-31 [2]). You can transmit the
parameter values both nonvolatilely (Save [EEPROM]) and volatilely

[Link] Script files

Description Script files are used to parameterize devices of the MASTERDRIVES

series as an alternative to downloading a parameter set. A script file is
a pure text file that must have the filename extension *.ssc. The script
file executes individual commands using a simple command syntax for
the purpose of device parameterization. (You can write the script files
using a simple text editor, such as WordPad.)
You can launch execution of a script file with menu command
File Å Execute Script file.

Advantages:
♦ Structured format according to functions/function modules possible,
because
• You can arrange the parameters in any order and insert any
comments.
• With jump functions (CALL commands) you can call up function
modules (minimization of data to be managed, parameterization,
of possible sources of error and of the configuration effort)
♦ Interactive communication e.g. by MSG / LOCALMSG commands
(guiding the customer, final customer)
♦ It is possible to force, monitor, and wait for converter states and to
start "background calculations" in the converter.

Commands Commands are interpreted line by line. You can mark off comments
with "REM" or a semicolon ";".
Tabs and blanks are permissible both as a separator between the
command and the arguments and at the beginning of a line.
A line to be interpreted consists of a command and arguments, and can
have the following appearance:
<tab><command><tab><[Link]><tab><[Link]>etc.
Example of a command sequence:
WRITE 60 0 5 (Meaning: Set par. 60 to value 5)
WAIT 1 0 5 (Meaning: Wait until the converter is in status
drive setting)
WRITE 96 0 1 (Meaning: Set par. 96 to value 1)

♦ WAIT
Command: WAIT
Description: A defined length of time is allowed to elapse before a
certain parameter is assigned a defined value.
Max. arguments: 4
Syntax: WAIT PNU IND PWE1/PWE2/PWE3 ZEIT

The parameter number is absolutely necessary.

Specifying the time is optional. If you do not specify a time, the
function waits until the expected parameter value comes about. If
you specify a time in seconds (positive integer), the same condition
applies but for no longer than the time specified. The WAIT
command is ignored if SIMOVIS / DriveMonitor is in the offline state.
For the parameter number, you can specify up to three values,
which are ORed. The separator between the values is the character
"/" and must be without gaps (no spaces or tabs). The parameter
values are considered to be an argument.
Specify the values (PWE) as they appear in the download file
because they are not converted to numeric values.
Example: 0000000001010111 and not 87
0x21E and not 542
For indexed parameters, 3 arguments must be present. If there are
fewer than 3 arguments, the line is ignored.
For unindexed parameters, 2 or 3 arguments must be present. If
there are 3 arguments, the 2nd argument is the index and is
ignored. If there are fewer than 2 arguments, the line is ignored.

♦ TIME
Command: TIME
Description: Allows the specified time to elapse before the following
scripts are further processed.
Max. arguments: 1
Syntax: TIME ZEIT

In addition to the recording settings, you must also specify the sampling
rate in field "Recording Interval", the trigger derivation action in field
"Pretrigger", and the trigger setting. For the trigger setting, you can
select the connector or binector via which triggering is performed
(button Channel) and the trigger condition is specified. As trigger
conditions for the connectors, you can use comparison operators less
than (<), equal to (=), greater than (>), and not equal to (<>) and
triggering on a certain bit of the connector (e.g. for status words) and
the triggering on a fault. For connectors, specify the state (0 or 1) at
which you want to trigger as the trigger source.
After you have exited the recording settings, recording is activated with
the Start (Fig. 5-32 [3]) button. Recording starts as soon as the trigger
condition is fulfilled. When recording is completed, the data are read out
of the device and displayed in the trace window (see Fig. 5-34).
With button Go (Fig. 5-32 [2]), you can activate recording immediately
without taking the trigger condition into account.

Display of the data You can adapt the graphic display to your individual needs. Some
displays only apply for the active curve (curve name highlighted). You
can change the active curve by clicking on the curve description (to the
right of the graphic window).

Trace settings
On the trace toolbar, you can call up the graphic trace settings with the
function button . The trace settings contain the following tab cards:
♦ X- Scale

Display in data points: Scaling is performed in data points. The

triggering time is interpreted as the data point
zero so that data points are scaled negatively
to the left of the trigger time (pretrigger).
Display in units: Scaling of the X-axis is performed taking the
freely defined factor and unit text into
account, e.g.: 3.2 ms per sampled value. This
type of display is by default automatically
correct in [ms] for trace recordings, which
results in correct time scaling.

SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES Compendium Vector Control 5-63
Parameterization 10.2001

♦ Y-Scale (only valid for the active curve)

Display in data points: Scaling is performed in data points.

Display as a percentage: Scaling is performed as a percentage. 16384
(4000Hex) = 100 % for 16-bit curves and
1073741824 (40000000Hex) = 100 % for 32-
bit curves.
Display in units: Scaling of the Y-axis is performed taking the
freely defined factor and unit text into
account, e.g. 10 mV per sampled value.

10.2001 Parameterization

♦ Curve (only valid for the active curve)

Settings for displaying the trace curve.

Analog Curve: Display as a linear value
Digital Signal: Bitwise display of the 16-bit value recorded. You can
define which bits are displayed in digital setting.
Point Marks: Way the individual data points are identified.
Note:
Data point identifiers are not displayed graphically until the
zoom factor is large enough to allow you to distinguish
between them.
Interpolation: linear: Linear connection between the data points.
stair: Curve display as a step function.

Amplification setting
You can change the amplification of a trace (active curve). To do that,
click on the appropriate button above the Y-scale. The auto
button scales the Y-axis in such a way that the smallest and largest
value recorded fit into the display.
Offset
To obtain a better overview, you can shift individual traces (active
curve) and thus superimpose traces. Drag the Y-scale using the mouse
(by drag and drop).
Defining the visible area
Using the Zoombar
below the curve display, you can set the visible portion of the time axis
using the movable boundaries [ ]. You can also set the zoom to All or to
last View in the context menu (mouse click on the zoombar with the
right mouse button).
Measurement of time and amplitude
Using the two freely movable cursor bars, you can ascertain both the
absolute signal amplitude and the instant, and the difference between
two signal amplitudes and instants.

When you start the function the cursor bars are at the right-hand edge
of the display. Then you can position them anywhere in the display by
drag and drop. In field @, the absolute values of the position of the
cursor you are clicking on are displayed, in field "dt" the time difference,
and in field "dv" the signal amplitude difference between the positions
of the two cursors (see Fig. 5-35).

Data management You can save the trace curves recorded in SIMOVIS/DriveMonitor,
export them, or reload them to view them again.
♦ Saving and exporting trace data:
You can save trace data in the form of trace files (.trc), as a WMF
file (e.g. for exporting or linking in text files) or as an ASCII file
(display in columns, e.g. for export into spreadsheet programs).
Select button Save Trace file on the toolbar.
♦ Loading trace data from the file:
With button Open trace file you can load and view data stored
as a trace file.
♦ Copying trace data into the clipboard:
To copy the trace display directly into a graphics or text processsing
program, you can use the button Copy traces to clipboard to
copy it into the clipboard in WMF format and then paste it into the
target program with Insert.
♦ Printing the curve display:
With button Print all visible traces you can print out the curve
display.

[Link] Diagnostic menu

In menu Diagnostics on the menu bar, you can display the parameters
as predefined parameter lists for diagnostic purposes.

Fig. 5-36 Menu diagnostics

The parameter lists faults/alarms and messages/displays are available.

In each of these, only those parameters are displayed that are relevant
for the faults and alarms and for messages and displays. You can
change or monitor the parameters just like in any other parameter list.

[Link] Menu prompted start-up

The function Menu prompted start-up is available under

SIMOVIS/DriveMonitor for MASTERDRIVE VC/MC for simple
parameterization with user guidance. In Menu prompted start-up, the
user is guided through parameterization of the drive by forms. Here, not
parameter numbers but texts and selection fields are shown, which
makes operation easier to understand. This means that freedom of
parameterization is restricted to some extent but is sufficient for
standard applications.
Restrictions The following restrictions apply to menu prompted start-up:
♦ Parameterization is only performed for the 1st data set (motor data
set, function data set, BICO data set).
♦ A limited selection of setpoint sources is available, for
MASTERDRIVE VC they are:
- PMU and motor potentiometer
- Analog setpoint and terminal block
- Fixed setpoints via terminal block
- Motor potentiometer via terminal block
- Fixed setpoint via OP1S
- OP1S and motor potentiometer
- Serial interface (USS) SIMOVIS
- Profibus DP and terminal block

NOTE The selection option of the setpoint sources is restricted by the type of
closed-loop control selected.
♦ No parameterization of special solutions (externally excited
synchronous machine, factory setting for elevators and hoisting
gear) is possible.
♦ No parameterization of additional IO boards (EB1, EB2, SCI)

Procedure You can call up prompted start-up from the drive window either with the
button on the toolbar or with menu ParameterÅ Menu prompted start-
up (see Fig. 5-37 [1]).

forms have the following layout:
On the left-hand side, you will find the context display (Fig. 5-37 [2])
with an indication in words and graphics of the part of guided
parameterization to which the form belongs. Below the form, you will
find function buttons for switching between forms (Next, Back). In the
form, fields for parameterization are displayed. The fields contain
recommended values. You can change the values by typing them in
directly or by selection from the dropdown list boxes.

10.2001 Parameterization

To complete guided parameterization, a form with the most important

basic data of the parameterization you have just performed is displayed
by way of a summary. You can then transfer the values to the device
with button Accept configuration (Fig. 5-38).
It is also possible to have a script file generated for the
parameterization you have just performed (e.g. to parameterize other
devices in exactly the same way, or to provide a record of the
parameterization in offline mode).

NOTE With menu prompted start-up, first the factory setting is made with
Accept configuration, all previous parameterization in the device is
reset. (The factory setting type is retained.)
For MASTERDRIVE MC, menu prompted start-up also exists for
starting up the technology functions. The appearance and operation are
analogous to that of menu prompted start-up for the basic device.

[Link] Learning a database

If a known device type has an unknown firmware version, it is possible

to learn the parameter sets (names, factory setting values, min and
max limits) under SIMOVIS/DriveMonitor.

NOTE In order to establish a connection, it is necessary to specify a firmware

version. It is advisable to select the predecessor version of the firmware
version to be learned if possible.

Procedure for In the window "Bus Configuration" establish a connection with the
SIMOVIS device (see Section [Link] "Testing the connection"). After that, you
can learn the parameter set with button Generate database or with
menu EditÅ Create ("lern"). This process can take several minutes.
After that, this firmware version is also available to you for
parameterization.

Procedure for When you switch to online mode, device identification is performed.
DriveMonitor You can also trigger device identification with menu ParametersÅ
Device identification. If an unknown software version is detected, you
are offered the option (Fig. 5-41 button Generate database), of
generating the database. (This process takes several minutes.)
