Upgrading from Previous Releases

Note

To upgrade to Version 5 of the toolbox, it is recommended that you first

uninstall any previous version of toolbox.

Maintaining Multiple Releases of Toolbox

To maintain different releases of the toolbox on a single system, consider the following:

•

Multiple versions of Release 5 cannot be insta lled on one system. The

installation directory for Release 5 of the toolbox is chosen only once, the first

time that the Control System Solutions products are installed. The default

directory is C:\Program Files\GE Control System Solutions.

•

There is only one set of toolbox options settings for a given user on a given

computer. There are several toolbox options settings that may need to be

unique to a particular release of toolbox. For example, Release 4 of the toolbox

would probably need a different directory setting for standard library .tre files

than that of Release 5. In order to use multiple releases, it is recommended to

use different user accounts for each release.

•

Opening a toolbox file from the Windows Explorer is not recommended if

multiple copies of toolbox are installed. When you op e n a file from the

Windows Explorer, the application that starts up depends on what is registered

for that file type. Releases of toolbox prior to Release 5 register each time they

execute. Release 5 of toolbox, however, registers only at installation.

•

Modifying a toolbox file can make the file unusa ble to older releases of

toolbox. A warning dialog displays when the toolbox opens a file that was

written by a previous release. Do not save the file i f it must be used by the

previous release.

Working with Files and Menus

An AVDV Series drive is configured using different types of files, which are described in the following sections. Menu commands are also described.

File Types

The configuration files generate output that can be downloaded to the drive. Configuration files include:

Drive configuration file (.acb) is a binary working file that contains an exact copy

Back up all files often to avoid loss of data.

of the drive configuration used by the toolbox. Users generally work from drive configuration files. When the file is saved, the prior .acb is renamed to Backup of File. For example AV300.acb would have a backup file named Backup of

AV300.acb. To restore the backup copy, rename the file to a .acb file. Tree files (.tre) are text files that contain config uration information for the drive

product. Some define the parameters, faults, menus, and other items that exist within a particular drive. Others store configurations for transport between different drives, and possibly different versions of the toolbox.

Diagram files (.wmf) are drawing files that contain the toolbox block diagrams. Help files (.hlp) provide product specific help from within the toolbox. Project files (.prj) are text files that hold some drive confi guration information.

They are used, in conjunction with other tree files, to transport configurations across versions of drive products, and possibly different versions of the toolbox.

Project files allow the user to export and import a drive configuration without having to know about all the files it contains.

Exporting/Opening Project Files

This option is normally not required, but is provided if a newer version of the t oo lbox makes a change to the format of the drive configuration file (.acb) that is not backward compatible.

Normally, newer versions of the toolbox can load drive configuration files created by older versions. However, if a major change in functionality of the toolbox occurs, the toolbox may not be able to load the drive configuration file. In this case, it is necessary to first export the drive configuration file to a project (.prj) file and then import it into the new version of the toolb ox. A project file is a text file, which contains the names of all .tre files in a configuration. Project files save the drive configuration in a form that can be loaded by all newer versions of the toolbox.

À To create a project file

1. From the Outline View, click on the drive name.

2. From the File menu, choose Export and choose All. All .tre files and the .prj

file is exported.

Once a project file exists, it can be used to create a drive configuration file (.acb). From the file Open command, choose a .prj file. This creates an AVDV Series drive and starts a series of file imports. The toolbox imports the files listed in the .prj file, including the parameter values file.

The following section defines items and fea tures used when configur ing an AVDV Series drive. When a drive is created, the Work Area displays as follows:

Main Menu contains the configurable items.

Click here to display a drawing of the block diagram and signal flow.

Parameters allow you to configure the drive behavior. Each parameter has a name with up to 20-characters, which identifies it and helps to convey its use. A parameter also can have units, such as RPM, displayed with the toolbox and keypad. The unit field is limited to five characters. Each parameter contains a value, which can be a number or a setting. The value is adjusted in order to modify the drive behavior. Some basic parameters along with their associated units are: Motor rated current (Amps), Motor rated freq (Hz), Motor rated vo ltage (Volts), and Regulator type. Parameters can be set and modified from the Outline View under the items Main Menu or Diagram, or from a Wizard or the keypad.

Variables, similar to parameters, have a 20-character name and a 5-character unit field. However, unlike parameters, the user can not change variables. They are changed by the drive as a result of the execution of the pattern within it. For example, the variable Speed feedback (RPM ) gets updated on a continuous basis and represents the drives actual speed.

Diagrams provide an overall picture of signal flow, sequencing and regulator control in the drive. While communicating with the dr ive, the diagrams display drive variables and their real time values. Contact and coil states are also indicated. Certain drive parameters can be modified from this view (refer to the section, Block Diagrams).
