Drives Window
Drives Window is the most comprehensive com-
missioning and maintenance tool available for
ABB products. Drives Window is a PC tool
designed for on-line commissioning and mainte-
nance of ABB products. It provides several differ-
ent displays to effectively and easily utilise the
tool. Drives Window is able to connect to various
target devices through several different types of
communication links.
System Configuration Display
The System Configuration Display provides an
overview of the system as well as the type and status
of each product on the communication link(s). Included
in the System Configuration Display are previously
saved files located on the hard disk of the computer.
This display is built automatically by the Drives Window
tool by scanning the communication links to find the
configuration of the system.
Drives Panel Display
The Drives Panel Display is used for controlling the
operation of a selected drive within the system. You
can control different drives by changing the target
drive selection. The following commands are available
with the Drives Panel:
- Start and Stop
- Set the speed reference value
- Change the reference direction
- Reset the active fault
- Change to Local/Remote control mode
Signals and Parameters Display
The Signals and Parameters Display is used for
handling signals and parameters of the target drive.
The signal and parameter list is uploaded from the
drive and can be viewed, saved to a file or compared
to another parameter set. Previously saved values
can be downloaded to a matching drive. You can also
set the parameter values in either off-line or on-line
mode.

graphically the actual values of the target. The following
functions are also supported:
-
Zoom-in and Zoom-out

the contents of the data loggers in the drive. You can
display the data in either graphical or numerical form
as well as setting-up the data logger triggering
conditions.
