1.2.1 Right-Click Context Menu
From the SMT Launcher Strip, you can right-click with your mouse to view a context menu providing
easy access to tasks, including:
1.3 General Usage
There are several helpful features common across all tools in the SMT software system geared toward
simplifying day-to-day as well as extensive usage. These features include: internal logging system,
informative tooltips, highlight-on-click, collapsible group boxes, interactive graphs, persistent user
settings, normalized tool framework, and product update checking.
1.3.1 Internal Logging System
To enhance maintenance and troubleshooting the SMT software system, all tools utilize a common
logging system functionality for outputting to file internal trace information, as well as any error
occurrences which may occur.
The log file is located at: [My Documents]\Danfoss Turbocor\SMT\smt.log
• Launching a tool - select the desired tool by name.
• Display the About form - click About.
• Minimize the tool suite - click Minimize and the tool will be minimized to your task bar under
one window button.
• Change the SMT Launcher Strip orientation - click Alignment -> Horizontal to display the SMT
Launcher Strip in a landscape format or Alignment -> Vertical for a portrait layout.
1.3.2 Informative Tooltips
To aid in general use and interpretation of compressor data, all compressor parameter edit/display
fields will display a tooltip which pops up if the mouse cursor hovers over the field and will describe
the modbus register associated with that parameter.
1.3.3 Highlight-on-click
To assist you in viewing data ‘at a glance’, certain readout fields can be highlighted to make them stand
out from the rest. The highlighting of fields with this functionality enabled can be toggled by leftclicking on the desired field.
1.3.4 Expand/Collapse-on-click
Any group boxes which display a box bearing a +/- box in the upper left-hand corner may be collapsed
in order to reduce the size of a form when some information is not desired to be viewed. To collapse or
expand these regions, left-click on the +/- graphic.

Figure 1-7 Collapsible Group Boxes Example (TT/TG SMT Shown)
1.3.5 Interactive Graphs
Graphs display data and provide a different perspective. The graphing feature provides the ability to
pan, zoom, etc.
• To pan: if panning is enabled, click and drag in either the X or Y direction.
• To fast pan: hold the control key while clicking and dragging within a graph to pan across larger
areas.
• To zoom: if zooming is enabled, use the scroll wheel on the mouse to zoom in and out - holding
shift while scrolling will only stretch the Y axis; holding ctrl while scrolling will only stretch the X axis.
• To reset to initial view: double-click anywhere on the graph.
1.3.6 Persistent User Settings
Many of the interface settings are saved in a local settings file in order to persist common settings on a
user-by-user basis.
Typical persistent settings include: tool form screen location, tool form normal/maximized state,
collapsible form collapse/expand states, user-entered application fields (e.g., hostnames, DTC ports,
technician name fields, etc.).
The settings file is located at:
[My Documents]\Danfoss Turbocor\SMT\Settings.xml
1.3.7 Normalized Tool Framework
All components considered to be tools contain a commonly-structured data identifying a tool and its
interface components.
Data included in the tool metadata (assembly information) include: Tool Id #, Tool Name Id, Tool
Description Id, Tool Classification, Minimum (execution) Access Level, Enumeration Count, Persistence,
Connection Requirement, Dedication Requirement, and an Application Graphic.
In addition to the framework metadata, there are several components geared toward the utilization of
these tool components, including standalone execution support, common interfacing components, etc.
13 of 88M-SM-001-EN Rev. G
1.3.8 Tool Identification
Each tool’s title frame contains information identifying it. This information includes:
• Tool/Form ID - The first number, indicating the ID number of the current tool.
• Tool Title - The localized text title of the current tool.
• Device Connection Info - This includes the serial port and baud rate or IP address and port
number and the slave address of the device with which the current tool is connected.
NOTE
To dierentiate between instances of the SMT, look at the device communication information displayed in the tool’s frame.

Chapter 2.0 Recordings
2.1 Running a Recording
While the SMT Suite Tools are intended to be used with live Danfoss Turbocor (DTC) compressors, it is
possible to partially simulate communication with a compressor using recorded data. The playback
simulation can be used for displaying values, but cannot accept write requests (parameter updates)
and certain features may not be available (such as fault or event log retrieval).
When you first open the Service Monitoring Tools software, a limited version of the Service Monitoring
Tools (SMT) Suite Launcher Strip is displayed.

Chapter 3.0 Compressor Connection Manager
The Compressor Connection Manager is used to discover and establish a means of communication
with a compressor. This tool can be used to establish a connection with a compressor, close an
established connection, detect compressor settings, change compressor access level, synchronize
the compressor real-time clock (RTC) with a personal computer (PC) clock, and view a list of recent
compressor connection settings.
When a connection with a compressor is established, information detailing the compressor’s current
access level, Bearing and Motor Control (BMC) version, Compressor Controller (CC) version, part
number, configuration number, refrigerant type, unit system, and current real-time clock readout are
displayed as well as the current connection status.
3.1 Accessing the Compressor Connection Manager
Please see Section 1.5 “Running a Simulation” if you wish to evaluate the software without connecting to a compressor.
1. Click the Compressor Connection Manager icon.

To establish a connection with a compressor:
1. From the Connection Settings group, select a connection type:
• Direct for direct use of the serial port. This is the default recommended setting.
• Shared for indirect use of a serial port, allowing multiple applications access to the same
compressor via the same serial port.
• Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) for communication with a Modbus TCP
compressor interface.
2. If using Shared or TCP/IP, enter your shared host name and TCP port number - usually the
default values (localhost and 502) will work.
a. For a Direct Connection, refer to Section "3.2.1 Direct Connection" on page 24.
b. For a Shared Connection, refer to Section "3.2.2 Shared Connection" on page 25.
c. For TCP/IP, refer to Section "3.2.3 TCP/IP Connection" on page 25.

settings. A connection should now be established If no compressors are detected, No compressors
found! will display in the listing.
6. Type in your Access Code and click Submit.
1. From the Connection Settings group, select TCP/IP as your connection type:
2. Enter the slave address in the Slave Address field.
3. Click Connect.
A connection should now be established.
4. Type in your Access Code and click Submit.
3.3 Closing an Established Connection
To close an established connection:
1. Click the Disconnect button.
2. To also disconnect from a remote host (such as the Compressor Data Recording & Playback
tool’s playback host), click the Disconnect from Remote Host button. The tool will close any
connections established and data polling will stop.
3.4 Detecting Compressor Settings
To detect compressor settings:
• Enter a slave address search range or list of values to test for detection in the Search Results
listing and click the Search.
After a short period of time (the less addresses to check, the quicker the search will be), the search
results display in the Search Addresses field. If no compressors are detected, No compressors found! will
display in the listing; otherwise, communication setting combinations will display.

3.5 Changing Compressor Access Levels
On connection, the SMT requires a valid access code in order to allow access to the various tools available at the given
access level.
A user must not change the access level of the BMCC to a value lower than 2 if the compressor is being controlled by Modbus.
If the access level is lower than access level 2, the compressor can not accept a demand write.
For rmware versions of 3.X.X or lower, for example, if the lowest level that a compressor can accept a demand write is at
Access Level 2 (Low Level), then on submission of a “0” in the Access Code eld, the SMT will revert to a read-only state and the
compressor will not accept writes to demand from the Modbus controller. In this case, the compressor access level should be left
at Access Level 2 (Low Level) or higher.
To change the compressor access level:
TT/TG SMT
1. Enter the desired Access Code, then click Submit.
VTT/TG SMT
1. Enter the desired User ID and Access Code, then click Submit.
The tool will send the access code to the compressor and indicate the access level on the connected
compressor.
If the access code is incorrect: the compressor will revert the access to the lowest level. After five failed
access code change attempts, the compressor will no longer accept access codes and will require a
power cycle before allowing an access level change.
NOTE
Since the access level on the compressor will remain after disconnecting from the compressor, be sure to either downgrade the
access level or power cycle the compressor after completing service.
3.6 Synchronizing the Compressor Real-Time Clock with a PC Clock
To synchronize a compressor real-time clock (RTC) with a PC clock:
• Click the Sync Compressor/Computer Time button.
The tool will attempt to update the compressor’s RTC to match the local computer’s date and time to
within ±500 ms.
3.7 Viewing a List of Recent Compressor Connection Settings
To view a list of recent compressor connection settings:
• Click the Recent Compressors button.
A list of recent compressor communication settings will display. If there is no connection history,
No compressors found! displays in the listing; otherwise, communication setting combinations are
displayed. Double-clicking any of the settings combination entries will automatically attempt to
connect using the those settings.
3.8 Selecting the Unit System
To select the appropriate unit system for the compressor:
• Click the Units Drop-Down Box and select the desired unit system.

3.9 Connection Status Indications
The Connection Status is indicated in the Compressor Info section of the Compressor Connection
Manager Window.
• Disconnected: no connection exists with a compressor or remote compressor host.
• Ready to Connect: a connection with a remote host (if applicable) has been established, but no
compressor connection has yet been established.
• Compressor is starting up: The currently connected compressor is in startup mode.
• Connected: There has been established a connection with a remote host (if applicable) and a
connection with a compressor has been established and verified.
• No compressor found: Any serial ports or connections have been established, but a valid
compressor was not able to be detected.
• Error opening port: There was an error opening the specified serial port (either the port is
already in use, the port name doesn’t exist, or there was some other error attempting to open
the serial port).
• Server not found: Could not connect to remote host.
• There was a time out during communication’ (Error Time out): There was a timeout during
communication.
• Invalid response: The response received was invalid.
