This manual provides information about the 22-WIM-N* Wireless
Interface Module (WIM) and using it with PowerFlex 4-Class drives. The module can be used with other products that support DSI.

Third-Party Bluetooth Support

Since the WIM requires a Pocket PC, laptop PC or desktop PC equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology, you may need to install a third-party, vendor-specific Bluetooth driver. If this driver fails to establish wireless communication with the WIM, refer to its documentation for assistance. Furthermore, troubleshooting help may be available on the vendor web site.

Features

Features of the WIM include the following:
A status indicator (LED) that reports the operating status of the
module.
Connectivity to products implementing DSI, such as PowerFlex
4-Class drives and peripherals. When used with a product, the WIM will autobaud to the DSI data rate that is used by the product.
The WIM receives power from the drive. An outside power source is
not needed.
An RTU Master operating mode for use on an RTU Master network to
monitor, configure, and control up to 32 PowerFlex 4-Class drives using wireless communication and Allen-Bradley drive software tools.
The following tools can be used to configure the WIM:
Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC (version 1.01 or higher)DriveExplorer (version 4.04 or higher)DriveExecutive (version 3.01 or higher)PowerFlex 4-Class HIM
The WIM can be used with compatible Allen-Bradley software tools
through wireless communication to flash upgrade itself and other DSI peripherals (PowerFlex 4-Class HIMs and communication adapters) to take full advantage of new firmware features as they become available.

Compatible Products

DSI is based on the Modbus RTU serial communication protocol. The WIM can be used with Allen-Bradley Component Class (PowerFlex 4-Class) drives and other products that support DSI. At the time of publication, compatible products include all the following types of:
PowerFlex 4 drives
PowerFlex 40 drives
PowerFlex 40P drives

Safety Precautions

Please read the following safety precautions carefully.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists from machine motion when using wireless communications and software to Start/Stop/Jog,
!
configure or otherwise communicate with a drive.
Using the control bar feature in Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC, DriveExplorer or DriveExecutive with wireless communications may present safety hazards due to potential loss of the wireless connection. For example, if the wireless connection is interrupted after a start or jog command is initiated from the control bar, the drive cannot be stopped using the control bar until the wireless connection is restored. For this reason, it is required to always use an additional hard-wired stop circuit to disable the drive.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only personnel familiar with drive and power products and the associated
!
machinery should plan or implement the installation, start-up, configuration, and subsequent maintenance of the product using a WIM. Failure to comply may result in injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameter 02 - [Comm Flt Action] lets you determine the action of
!
the WIM and connected drive if DF1 serial communications are disrupted. By default, this parameter faults the drive. You can set this parameter so that the drive continues to run. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the setting of this parameter does not create a risk of injury or equipment damage. When commissioning the drive, verify that your system responds correctly to various situations (for example, a communication disruption or a faulted controller).

8. Select the Bluetooth device from this screen and tap OK. This screen
only appears the first time you connect to this Bluetooth device. Its address is saved to the connection file. The next time you open the connection, if this same device is within range, Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC will immediately connect.
The connection process then begins (Figure 3.8

9. The status bar will update and then when connection is complete, the
StatusMonitor application will launch and show the “StatusMonitor” screen (Figure 3.9

) for the drive.
You can then select other devices from the Port menu, or other functions from the Tasks menu.
10. If you will be routing to one or more remote networked drives, you
will need to perform sub-steps A through H in this step. This requires that you are able to connect to the Bluetooth card/module (cannot be done offline) because Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC must interrogate the device and determine what kinds of network adapters are present.
For an example illustrating remote connection, we are using two PowerFlex 40 drives with 22-COMM-D DeviceNet adapters connected to each other using standard DeviceNet cabling.
Configuring the WIM 3-7

H. From the last drive’s StatusMonitor screen, select Connect > and
the drive to which you want to connect to (for example, Drive
1.dfc). This establishes connection to that drive and displays its StatusMonitor screen.
Note: Using the “Remote” connection option for the WIM establishes a point-to-point connection. Therefore, you can only connect to one networked drive at a time.
Assigning a Name for the WIM (optional)
The WIM can be assigned a custom name (up to 16 alpha-numeric characters) that represents its associated drive’s application function, such as Pump 1 or Conveyor A. After successfully establishing a custom WIM name, it replaces the default drive name (for example, PowerFlex 40 3P 460V 1.0HP) that appears in the “Searching for Bluetooth Devices” screen and will now be recognized on the network.
Configuring the WIM 3-9
1. From the drive StatusMonitor screen (Figure 3.9), tap the Port menu
and select the drive port to which the WIM is connected. For this example, Port 1 is selected (Figure 3.15 installed in the drive’s bottom RJ-45 port. The WIM StatusMonitor screen (Figure 3.16

Using DriveExplorer/DriveExplorer Lite

With DriveExplorer software running on a computer equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can edit parameters in the WIM, connected drive, and any of the attached peripherals. DriveExplorer Lite, a free, limited-feature version of DriveExplorer, can be downloaded from http://www.ab.com/drives/driveexplorer.
If you are unsure how to use DriveExplorer or DriveExplorer Lite, refer to the online help (select Help > Help Topics).
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists from machine motion when using wireless communications and software to Start/Stop/Jog,
!
configure or otherwise communicate with a drive.
Using the control bar feature in DriveExplorer (version 2.01 or higher) with wireless communications may present safety hazards due to potential loss of the wireless connection. For example, if the wireless connection is interrupted after a start or jog command is initiated from the control bar, the drive cannot be stopped using the control bar until the wireless connection is restored. For this reason, it is required to always use an additional hard-wired stop circuit to disable the drive.
Establishing Wireless Communication Between the WIM and Computer
Bluetooth wireless technology enabled cards/modules installed in a computer are typically provided with a software program to establish communication with other wireless devices. The following example procedure describes how to establish communication using the software program “My Bluetooth Places” (version 1.4.2), which was included with a specific brand Bluetooth wireless technology module. Different versions of this software and different programs may differ in appearance and procedures.
1. Launch the “My Bluetooth Places” program. The program window
(Figure 3.19
) will appear.
