L-force ControllerThe L-force controller is the central component of the automation system which (by
means of the runtime software) controls the Logic and Motion functionalities.
The L-force Controller uses the fieldbus to communicate with the field devices.
Engineering PCThe Engineering PC and the engineering tools installed on it serve to configure and
parameterise the system.
The Engineering PC uses Ethernet to communicate with the L-force Controller.

HighLevel and TopLevel license level in the »Engineer« on the FB editor tab and by means
of which the technology applications supplied can also be reconfigured and extended by
individual functions.
Function blockA function block (FB) can be compared with an integrated circuit that contains a specific
control logic and delivers one or several values when being executed.
• A n in stan ce ( repro ducti on, co py) of the f unc tion b lock i s alw ays inser ted in the ci rcuit .
• It is also possible to insert several instances of a function block in a circuit.
• Each instance has an unequivocal identifier (the instance name) and a processing
number which defines the position at which the function block is calculated during
the task cycle.
The basis of every L-force application is an easy and quick parameter setting of prepared technology
applications and solutions*.
This chapter contains basic information on the runtime software model of L-force and on how you
can establish an online connection between the PC and controller for parameter setting with
»Engineer« very easily.
At the end of this chapter you will find an overview of the different signal types & scaling which
serve to process physical values (e.g. a speed or position) within the application.

2.1.2Technology applications
Technology applications (TAs) are applications prepared by Lenze which can serve as a basis for
solving typical applications.
• The technology applications available for the Servo Drives 9400 can be selected in »Engineer«
from the application catalogue.
The following interfaces/communication modules can be used to establish communication
between the PC and controller:
• Diagnostic interface X6/Going online via diagnostic adapter
• CAN on board interface/Going online via system bus (CAN on board) ( 20)
• Optional interfaces which are provided by corresponding communication modules in the
module slots MXI1/MXI2 of the controller.
Note!
For communication with the controller, at least the control electronics of the controller
must be supplied with 24 V low voltage via plug X2. For detailed information, please see
the Mounting Instructions for the controller.
Stop!
If you change parameters in the »Engineer« while the controller is connected online, the
changes will be directly accepted by the controller!
Tip!
Detailed information about the individual interfaces can be found in the corresponding
Communication Manuals (KHB).
2.2.1Going online via diagnostic adapter
For initial commissioning of the controller you can for instance use the diagnostic adapter offered
by Lenze:
Note!
Please observe the documentation for the diagnostic adapter!
If no communication path was configured yet for the controller selected, the
Communication path dialog box is shown after the update has been carried out:
• The "Diagnostic adapter" bus connection is already preset.
3. Click on Connect.
• The dialog box is closed and the online connection with the controller is built up.
•In the Project view a yellow icon indicates the online connection with the controller:
Now you can use the icons and to easily build up and end a connection with the controller.
The communication settings are only required when communication with a controller is built up for
the first time.
• If you want to change the configured communication path, select the command Online Set
communication path and go online to open the Communication path dialog box and change the
settings.
• When an online connection has been established, the »Engineer« displays the current
parameter settings of the controller with a yellow background colour.
As an alternative to the diagnostic adapter, you can use the integrated system bus interface (CAN on
board, terminal X1) of the controller for communication.
• Lenze offers the following communication accessories for connection to the PC:

Note!
• For detailed information about the PC system bus adapter, please see the "CAN
Communication Manual".
• Please observe the documentation for the PC system bus adapter!
• The online connection is established as described in the previous chapter "Going
online via diagnostic adapter", only that this time the entry "CAN system bus" is to be
selected in the Bus connection list field of the Communication path dialog box.

2.2.3Use of other communication interfaces
The controller can be extended by further communication interfaces, if required, e.g. Ethernet,
ETHERNET Powerlink, or PROFIBUS.
• For this the controller is provided with the module slots MXI1 and MXI2 for accepting
communication modules.
• Detailed information on this subject can be found in the Hardware Manual and Communication
Manual for the corresponding communication system.
It is very helpful for the parameterisation & configuration of the controller to know the signal types
and their scaling listed below, which serve to process physical quantities (e.g. a speed or position)
within the function block interconnection.
Note!
From software version V3.0 the resolution of an encoder revolution can be
This documentation contains detailed information on parameter setting and configuration of the
controller. Sequential reading is not required.
In order to obtain the information relevant for initial commissioning, this chapter describes
different commissioning scenarios which can also be used as a guide through this manual:
A. Initial commissioning
• Target: Adapting the controller to the electromechanics and the control system.
B. Standard set-up
• Target: Taking over the application and parameter set of an already preconfigured "Engineer"
project into several controllers.
( 25)
( 26)
C. Controller replacement
• Target: Replacing a controller which has failed in a running system by a replacement device
using the "old" memory module.
D. Motor replacement
• Target: Replacing a motor which has failed in a running system.
Some parameters of the controller have a setting range depending on the device type.
If parameterisation is carried out offline or if the memory module is exchanged between
different 9400 HighLine device types, always check the settings of the parameters listed
in the following table and adapt them, if required, to prevent a parameter error after the
parameter set download or module change!

Term definition of "Plant parameters"
The term "plant parameters" which is frequently used in the following chapters summarises all
parameters which result from the combination of motor and load. They characterise the transfer
behaviour of the entire controlled system including the desired monitoring functions. The plant
parameters depend on the application in which the controller and motor are used.
• A display of the plant parameters offered by ENP via keypad is not provided. The plant
parameters must be edited and optimised individually.
• To avoid that the motor starts unintentionally without adjusting the plant parameters, the
maximum current in the Lenze setting is set to "0 A" in C00022
• After setting the plant parameters, they have to be saved on the memory module of the
controller with mains failure protection, just as the motor data that have been read out from
the ENP (C00002
For a motor without an electronic nameplate (ENP)
• The motor data and plant parameters must be edited and set individually.
• To avoid that the motor starts unintentionally without adjusting the plant parameters, the
maximum current is set to "0 A" in C00022

by the factory.
.
= "11: Save start parameters").
Commissioning of the application
• The application must already be stored on the memory module of the controller. Otherwise
commissioning by only using the keypad is not possible.
• All application parameters which deviate from the factory adjustment have to be edited
individually. For this the project planner has to provide a corresponding list to the commissioner
(including the motor and plant data).
• In the case of a standard set-up, a pole position identification may have to be carried out for
synchronous motors of a third party manufacturer or Lenze synchronous motors with a
Stegmann absolute value encoder.
• After setting the parameters, they have to be saved on the memory module of the controller
with mains failure protection (C00002
= "11: Save start parameters").
