Section 1: Overview
The DataLogger Series 3 was
designed to simplify troubleshooting
and provide for detailed operational
histories that are necessary for
genuine preventive maintenance.
The DataLogger is a nonvolatile
solid state (flash memory) recording
device that allows the operator to
easily and logically access the
Run, Alarm & Fault histories
of the IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 2
and IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 3
drives. It will also store 5 parameter
sets. The DataLogger was
designed to be a fit and form
replacement to the Series 3 keypad.
An additional cable is required
for use with Series 2 drives.
The DataLogger System consists of
three (3) components:
the DataLogger, the USB cable
for PC communication and
DataPulse™ Series 3 software.
The DataLogger was designed to include sufficient memory to log the last 1400
Run Events, the last 200 Alarm Events and the last 200 Fault Events. In addition
to the Alarm and Fault history, a Trace function is provided for viewing drive data
that lead to the Alarm/ Fault condition. The user-friendly DataLogger can be
effectively applied by those with little or no knowledge of inverters. All data
acquisition is automatic, and data viewing and analysis is available via the LCD
display or by uploading and viewing on your PC. The logger is powered by the
inverters 5 VDC internal supply when logging or by the USB when connected to
the PC. The internal clock is powered by a replaceable Lithium coin type battery.

How data logging works:
The DataLogger is a device which polls the Drive via the RS232 CN1 port.
Once connected, the logger will read the Inverter Status and U1
parameters. From the Inverter Status, the logger can detect when the drive
is running or when a fault or alarm occurs. Note: the logger must be in
Monitor mode to log any data.
When a run occurs:
When the logger detects a run, it increments the run counter and begins to
take averages and store peak values of the U1 parameters being read. It
also records how long the run remains active. When the run is ended, this
information is written to memory for storage. If it ended due to a fault or
alarm the reference to that fault/alarm is also associated to the run.
When a fault occurs:
When the logger detects a fault, it reads an additional set of registers from
the drive, named the fault content registers. These registers identify which
fault(s) are present. Once read, each register is checked to filter out specific
faults, such as DC Bus undervoltage, which would be logged every time the
drive power is cycled, if not filtered. Once the check is done, if a valid fault
still exists, the U2 parameters are read from the drive. Once read, the fault
data is written to memory for storage. In addition, the U1 parameters are
written to memory as trace data. This gives the past five scans of data just
before the fault occurs, in addition to the drive-stored fault data. If a run
event was present when the fault occurred, the reference to that run is also
saved with the fault data. If the logger is connected and monitoring, the
ENTER button will reset the fault.
When an alarm occurs:
When the logger detects an alarm, it reads an additional set of registers
from the drive, named the alarm content registers. These registers identify
which alarm(s) are present. Once read, each register is checked to filter out
specific alarms, such as DC Bus undervoltage, which would be logged
every time the drive power is cycled, if not filtered. Once the check is done,
if any alarms still exist, the current U1 parameters are saved to memory for
storage. In addition, the U1 parameters are written to memory as trace
data. This gives the past five scans of data leading up to the alarm. If a run
event was present when the alarm occurred, the reference to that run is
also saved with the alarm data.

Logging of Run, Fault, Alarm and Trace Data
All Data collection is automatic, viewing data is per the various screens, and the
roadmap of functions per the diagram on the Menu Navigation on page 6. The
Monitor Mode of the DataLogger permits Real Time monitoring of Inverter activity.
Uploading and downloading parameter data
The drive parameters can be uploaded (stored) into the DataLogger for use at a
later time. This data, after uploading into the DataLogger, can then be used to
easily create duplicate drives during manufacturing or to create a duplicate drive in
the case of inverter failure and/or replacement. The parameter data can also be
viewed and saved to the PC using the DataPulse Series 3 PC software included
with each logger or available as a download at electromotive.com website. A drive
parameter set can be downloaded into a drive of same software version, model,
control method (flux vector, open loop vector or V/F) and motion. Caution should
be taken when downloading parameters into a flux vector drive. An autotune
should be performed even if the motors seemingly are identical to ensure peak
performance.
GETTING CONNECTED
The Datalogger supports all software versions for Series 3 drives and the
following software versions for Series 2 drives: 14906, 14908, 14909, 14911,
Impulse DataLogger Series 3 Instruction Manual 2/1/05

14912, 14920, 14940, 14960, 14961, 14962, 14964, 14965, and 14980.
For connection to Series 3 drives, simply replace the keypad with the data logger.
The DataLogger will automatically begin logging after a 2 second boot up.
For connection to a Series 2 drive remove the existing keypad. Use the ribbon
cable, p/n 140-10274 supplied and connect the 12 pin connector end to the Series
2 keypad port. Connect the 8 pin connector end to port on the rear of the
DataLogger.
Note: After a short time without a keyed input the logger displays a screen save
mode. When in the screen save mode, press any of the four keys on the logger to
display the menu.

Introduction to DataPulse Series 3 software
DataPulse is a user friendly, Windows based, DataLogger communication
software that will allow the viewing of logger data in a spreadsheet format.
The DataPulse software functions include:
• Uploading Run, Fault, and Alarm histories and the corresponding trace
data.
• Uploading 5 sets of parameters stored in the DataLogger.
• Displaying and saving the above data.
Computer Requirements
The hardware requirements for DataPulse software:
• IBM-compatible PC with a Pentium 233 MHz or higher processor (Pentium
500 MHz or higher processor recommended)
• 64 MB RAM
• 20 MB hard disk storage
• Microsoft Windows 98se, ME, 2000, or XP
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5+ or higher
• USB 1.1 or 2.0 compatible port
Software Installation
The DataPulse software is designed to auto install after CD insertion, if the
installation guide does not display, then in the START menu, choose RUN. . .
and type “D:\setup.exe” where “D” is your CD drive and click “OK” or select
“BROWSE” and select setup.exe and “OK”.
After DataPulse software has finished installing, connect your DataLogger to the
computers USB port. Your PC will require you to install the driver for this “new
hardware”. The driver is located on the DataPulse CD.

Uploading data stored in the DataLogger is done through the button located
on the toolbar or by selecting “DataLogger” and “Upload from the DataLogger”
from the Menu. The file must be uploaded before viewing any data. A status bar
will indicate the progress of the upload and the history buttons will be highlighted
after the upload is complete.

Displaying Drive History Data
Selecting the button will display the fault history window. Selecting the
button will display the alarm history and selecting the button will display the run
history window.
The example below shows a typical display of the history data.
Data columns can be moved by selecting the column header and dragging the
column to a new location. Columns can be deleted by selecting “VIEW” and
“OPTIONS” from the toolbar menu.

PRINTING
It is best to print only the desired information from the thousands of pieces of data
stored in the logger. To edit and print this information, you would save the file as a
*.CSV file which is a “comma separated variable” file. The file type can be easily
imported into a spreadsheet program for editing and printing.
To save this file as a .CSV file, select “Save as”, “Save as type” and select
“Comma Separated Variable(*.csv)” in the drop down menu. (Be sure to rename
your file.)
Open the *.CSV file in a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel and print
the desired data.
