Installation and connection
8.4.1.1
Installation
A DVD is included with the devices of the MASTERDRIVES Series
when they are delivered. The operating tool supplied on the DVD
(DriveMonitor) is automatically installed from this DVD. If "automatic
notification on change" is activated for the DVD drive on the PC, user
guidance starts when you insert the DVD and takes you through
installation of DriveMonitor. If this is not the case, start file
"Autoplay.exe" in the root directory of the DVD.
8.4.1.2
Connection
RS232 interface
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.
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.

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 -X103 connection.
For the cable: see pin assignment -X300 and device documentation of
the interface converter.

Creating a parameter set
With menu FileÆ New Æ... you can create a new drive for
parameterization (see Fig. 8-10). 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. 8-10
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 “FileÆ 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" (Fig. 8-11)
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)

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

USING DRIVE MONITOR CONTROL PANEL
Drive Monitor Control Panel is an on line feature that allows for the operation of the drive. This
functionality is very useful during commissioning to make sure the drive and motor are working
properly. Below are the steps on how to use this feature. This document assumes the reader knows
how to connect and go on line with the Siemens MasterDrive AC drive.
Once you are online with the drive, your computer screen should look similar to the picture below.
Note the black triangle in the bottom right of the screen. This icon is not present when the computer is
in the offline mode. Clicking on this black triangle will bring up the Control Panel window.
1
Once you click on the black triangle, your screen should look similar to the picture below
In order to enable the Control Panel, you must click on the Request master control button.
This action will generate a pop-up window as shown below.
2
Just click on the OK button to enable the Control Panel feature. The bottom portion of your screen
should now resemble the picture below. The yellow background on the Relinquish master control
button lets you know that the Drive Monitor Control Panel now has control of the drive and motor.
Initially, no boxes are checked, so you will need to click on the white square beside Input bits 1 to 6.
Hopefully all the squares on the far left should turn green except for ON/OFF1. If the OFF2 square is
still gray, make sure the Safe Off input to the drive has been satisfied. This is usually done as long as
the emergency stop circuit is complete. If the e-stop circuit is not completed, you may need to jumper
the Safe Off input to the drive. If the Safe Off input is true and OFF2 is still not green, you should
click on the white square beside Activate terminal control. This will cause the DI1 to DI6 icons to
appear. Click on the square beside DI5 to turn it green. At this time, you should see all the squares at
the far left green except for ON/OFF1. You should also see the start button immediately below the
Relinquish master control button turn green. This notifies you that the drive is ready to run. All that is
required is a speed setpoint and a click on the green start button.
Enter some non zero value in the speed setpoint field. Click on the start button and the motor should
begin to rotate if all wiring is done properly.
When you wish to stop the motor, you can either press the space bar on your laptop or click on the red
stop button beside the start button.
When you wish to stop using the control panel all together, click on the Relinquish master control
button and click OK to the pop up window.
To make the control panel sub window disappear, click on the black triangle icon in the bottom right.

USING DRIVE MONITOR WITH A MC DRIVE
After you have loaded Drive Monitor V5.4 on your laptop, connect the Drive Monitor communication
cable, Siemens part # 9AK1012-1AA00, between the COM1 port on your laptop and the 9-pin D-sub
port on underneath the LED display on the 6SE70 Drive. Make sure the toggle switch on the
connector at the drive is set to the OFF position.
Once you double-click on the Drive Monitor icon, you should see a screen similar to the one shown
below. Click on the far left icon to open a new parameter set with factory default settings.
The Drive Properties pop-up window will appear. Make sure the Unit type field is set on
MASTERDRIVES MC. Selecting the proper Unit version is very important. If the drive you are
connecting to has a part number that ends in 70 (i.e. 6SE7031-8EF70), then Unit version should be
set to 02.4. If the drive you are connecting to has a part number that ends in 50 (i.e. 6SE70321EG50), then the Unit version should be set to 01.6. All other fields should be as shown.
1
Once you click on the OK button from the Drive Properties pop-up, you should see a screen like the
one shown below. This is the Drive Monitor home screen. You should familiarize yourself with a few
of the icon buttons across the top of this screen.
GOING ON LINE WITH THE DRIVE
There are two ways to go online with the drive, RAM and EEPROM. It is best to forget about RAM
mode and always go online with the EEPROM. Changes made while online with RAM are not power
safe. Changes made while online with EEPROM will retain their value after a power cycle.
The left most icon shown above signifies the drive is offline when the icon symbol is depressed. The
next icon to the right is the RAM online icon. The next icon to the right is the EEPROM online icon. If
the Drive Monitor communication cable is properly connected (and the switch on the cable is set to
OFF), then the computer should go online when you click on the EEPROM online icon. You can tell if
you are online with the drive by looking at the Device Statue icon at the bottom center of the screen. If
the window has NC, then no connection has been made. If the window is green or yellow, you are
online with the drive.

WHAT IF I CANNOT ESTABLISH COMMUNICATION WITH THE DRIVE?
If you cannot establish communication with the drive, you will need to use the drive’s keypad (also
known as the PMU) to verify two parameters. Using the P button and UP and DOWN arrow keys,
verify the setting of parameter P700.001. Press P once and use the UP arrow to scroll until P700 is
displayed on the PMU. Press P once to show .001 and press it again to show the value of P700.001.
This value should be 0, denoting a node address of 0 for the RS232 communication network between
the laptop and the drive.
Press P again and P700 should appear again. Now press the UP arrow to get P701 to appear. Press
P again and .001 will appear. Press P once more and see if 6 appears. P701 is the parameter that
determines the baud rate of the communication. P701=6 signifies 9600kB, 7=19200kB, 8=38400kB.
The Drive Monitor software defaults to 9600kB. It is possible to communicate at the higher rates, but
you must make sure that the settings in the drive match the settings in the Drive Monitor software. If
you want to change the communication settings for the Drive Monitor program, select Tools / ONLINE
Settings from the pull down menu at the top. NOTE: Any changes to communication settings within
Drive Monitor do not take effect until the program is shut down and restarted. Changes to parameters
in the drive (i.e. P700 or P701) take affect immediately without restarting the program.
I’M ONLINE WITH THE DRIVE, NOW WHAT?
The most common tasks done in the online mode are
- viewing parameters
- up reading parameters to a file
- down loading parameters from a file
- tracing signals and saving it to a file
VIEWING PARAMETERS
It is often necessary to examine the values of parameters, binectors or connectors within the drive.
Parameters are set to default values until they are overwritten by downloading a drive file. Examples
of this are P700.001 or r168. Parameters starting with upper-case letters (P or U) can be changed
with the Drive Monitor software. Parameters starting wth lower-case letters (r or n) are read only
parameters and cannot be changed.
Binectors are internal bits within the drive that can either be logical 0 or 1. Examples are B0104 or
B3600.
Connectors are internal registers within the drive that can either be 16-bit or 32-bit in resolution.
Connectors with single K (i.e. K0032) are 16-bit while double K (i.e. KK0125) are 32-bit. A further
explanation of the scaling of these items is on the last page of this document.
Clicking on one of these two icons
will display a list of parameters. The icon on the left will
display the complete list of parameters in the drive. The icon on the right will allow the creation of a
custom list of parameters. This is helpful when needing to view multiple parameters whose numerical
designation are not close together (i.e. P235, P918 and U625). To use the custom list of parameters,
click on its icon, place the mouse cursor on the row below the last parameter and begin typing the
desire new parameters to add.
UP READING PARAMETERS TO A FILE
In order to save the settings within the drive on your laptop, it is necessary to up read the values to a
file. The file will have a .dnl suffix. To upread, click on the icon
on the left with the arrow
going from the drive to the file symbol. A window will appear asking what type of file you want to
create. The two types you need to be aware of are changes only or complete versions. The complete
file will upread every parameter value in the drive. This file will be around 250kB in size. The changes
3
only file will record only those parameter values which have been changed from default settings.
Many people only upread the changes only files in order to save time. You can upread both types of
files if you are not sure which you need.
DOWN LOADING PARAMETERS TO A DRIVE
In order to parameterize a drive with the settings from a desired file, click on the icon
on the
right with the arrow going from the file symbol to the drive. A window will appear asking for the
selection of the desired .dnl file.
NOTE: These upread and download icons are not active unless the drive is in the online mode. Make
sure you download your file while your are online in the EEPROM mode. Otherwise, the file values
will be lost with the next power cycle of the drive.
TRACING SIGNALS WITH DRIVE MONITOR
In order to help in troubleshooting a drive, it is often necessary to trace internal drive signals and save
them to a file. The file can then be emailed to someone for further analysis of the issue. Clicking on
icon will bring up the Trace screen, which will look like blank oscilloscope screen. In order to
the
configure what to trace, click on the Settings button in the bottom left corner. Now the screen should
have the Record Settings pop-up window that must be configured.
The desired signals to be traced are selected in the 8 fields in the upper left corner. Any number
between 1 and 8 signals can be recorded. The vales are not recorded if the field is grayed out. It is
important that the two columns be properly checked. A 16-bit signal (i.e. K3015) should only have a
check mark in the left column. A 32-bit signal (i.e. KK3043) needs a check mark in both columns.
The Recording Interval number determines the length of time of the trace. The higher the number, the
longer the recording period. This value is usually set between 1 and 10 although it can be set higher.
4
The length of time for the trace is actually dependent on interval value and the number of channels
being recorded. If you keep the recording interval value the same but double the number of channels
you record, the overall length of trace time will be cut in half.
The pretrigger is used to record events prior to the trigger event for the trace.
Trigger setting is used to select the event that will trigger the drive to record the signals. The event
can be based upon when a connector reaches a set value (i.e. when drive actual speed > 1.0%). The
trigger can also be when based upon a binector setting (i.e. when the drive is enabled).
Once all of these settings are made, click on the OK button. You can arm the triggering event by
clicking on the Start button. This puts the trace function in the ready mode to begin recording when
the trigger event becomes true. The Go button causes an immediate trace recording without
consideration of the triggering event.
SAVING TRACES TO A FILE
Below is an example of what a trace file might look like on your computer.
In order to save a copy of this trace, click on the
icon and select Save As on the pull down menu.
The file will have a .trc suffix. The file can be attached to an email to allow others to view it.
