Program installation
Please check before installation if the above hard-
ware requirements are met. If your PC has already
stored an older version of the “ProPxD” program,
it has to be deinstalled by using the Windows
®
-
system control feature.
Program installation sequence:
• terminate the execution of other programs
• execute the file “setup.exe”
• follow the instructions on the screen
Answer the question, if an older version should be
overwritten, with “ok”. During the installation you
may change destination drive resp. installation
path, if needed.
Please answer “ok” if at the end of the installation
the program reports any system information. After
successful installation the desktop display shows
the ProPxD icon for starting the program.
Software Operating
Brief instruction for first startup:
• Connect the valve electronic to the supply volt-
age.
• Connect the valve electronic to a PC via the
parametrizing cable.
• Start the operating program.
• After displaying the program resp. data base ver-
sion a program window opens and the connected
valve will be automatically identified (possibly a
manual identification via the button “Receive all”
is necessary).
• Select the desired version via the menu “Op-
tions/Optionen” with the menu item “Language/
Sprache”.
• The valve specific default parameters are already
available within the parameter table.
• Parameter changes are possible via mouse or
the arrow buttons on the bottom left within the
program screen, also the parameter values may
be edited via the keyboard.
• Modified parameters will be stored via the “Enter”
key or via the button “Update list”.
• Parameters have to be nonvolatile stored on the
valve via the button “save parameter”.
• The chosen parameters may be optionally stored
on the PC via the “File”-menu with the menu item
“Save as”, data retrieving is always possible via
the function “Load file”
Extended functions:
The user software is shared into 2 parameter
ranges:
• basic mode
• expert mode
For normal startup the basic mode is sufficient. It
permits the setting of all application specific pa-
rameters to match the valve function with the task
setting.
In case of special applications the valve parameters
may be adapted via the expert mode. The operating
mode may be selected from the “Options”- menu
and remains after terminating and re-start of the
program.
Changing of expert parameters is only permit-
ted for qualified personnel. Incorrect settings
may lead to malfunction! In case of parameter
changes shut the drive down!
To prevent an unauthorized access for the expert
mode, a pass word is requested. The name is
“parker” and cannot be changed. Thus additionally
to the button “Default” for loading of the default
parameters, the button “Send parameter” appears
in the “Expert”-operating mode. This button trans-
mits only the setting of one single parameter to
the connected valve. Thus a quick tuning of single
parameters is permitted during the setup.
A horizontal bar graph readout between
the communication buttons shows the data
transfer state.
Because the ProPxD program has also
without connection to the valve functionality,
a manual pre-selection of the parameters is
possible. After selection of the valve type via
the menu “Options” the parameters may be
set and stored for later transmission.
Note the design series while selection of the
valve!
The “File” menu provides the functions “Printer
setup”, “Print preview” and “Print”. The print pre-
view includes the option for parameter set storage
as text file (format.txt) prior to further processing.
The “Options” menu provides also the selection of
the RS232 interface port via the menu item “Port”.
Via the menu item “Load file” previously stored
parameter sets may be loaded.
