9 Applications
SM-Ethernet provides an alternative to the EIA-485 (RS-485) connections provided on
the front of the drive. By using SM-Ethernet it is possible to communicate to the drive
using the following range of
Control Techniques products.
• CTSoft.
• CTScope
• SyPTPro.
• SyPTLite.
• OPC server.
This means that any applications that are familiar to the engineer can now be used over
Ethernet as if the user were connected locally.
9.1 Minimum software versions required for Ethernet
Table 9.1 below, lists the products used in this chapter and their minimum versions of
software required for Ethernet communication.
9.2 CTSoft
9.2.1 Installing CTSoft
To install CTSoft follow the instructions provided with the software. To use CTSoft with
Ethernet will require a version of CTSoft that has support for Ethernet and the
associated API or communication server. Please contact the supplier of the drive for
more information.
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They must not
be altered without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system.
Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering
especially if a remote user can access the drive over Ethernet.
