1.5 Safety Information
ATTENTION:Do not run other Windows or DOS software applications
while you are using the CS3000 software for drive control. Unexpected
!
The CS3000 software operates as a Windows 3.1 application. It cannot preempt other
applications or functions in Windows and, therefore, cannot guarantee a response
time to user input actions. Using other applications while controlling a drive with the
CS3000 software can tie up PC resources and cause drive commands to be delayed.
To prevent drive commands (run, stop, and jog) from unexpectedly executing, the
CS3000 software specifies a time-out period (approximately 2 seconds) when it
establishes a link with the drive. While the link is established, the CS3000 software
sends messages to the drive to validate the link. If a message fails to reach the drive
within the time-out period because program execution has been delayed, the drive
invalidates the link. If the link becomes invalid, the drive does not accept drive
commands. If the drive was running, it stops, and a serial fault is generated.
Before a drive control command is sent to the drive, the drive’s status is checked to
validate the link. If communication between the CS3000 software and the drive have
been interrupted and you have selected a drive command, the command is not sent
and a message is displayed.
The time-out period is also used by the Parameter Monitor and Download functions,
both of which could be running while the Drive Control Window is open. If the link
becomes invalid while these functions are running, a message will be displayed in the
Drive Control window before the link is re-established. When you select the Download
command while the Drive Control window is open, you cannot execute drive command
controls until the download is complete.
machine motion could result. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
1.6 Purpose of This Manual
This manual describes how to use the Control and Configuration software (CS3000) to
configure GV3000, Liqui-Flo, and FlexPak 3000 drives. Refer to the appropriate drive

This chapter describes how to configure a drive.
3.1 Selecting a Drive
To create a configuration for a drive while the drive is not connected to the CS3000
software, you must choose a drive type. Communication with the drive is not
established, but you can open, save and edit configurations. You can also create
Parameter lists using the Parameter Monitor.
For information about establishing communication with a drive, see chapter 8.
To select a drive type, follow these steps:
Step 1. From the Drive menu, choose Select.
The Drive Select dialog box is displayed as shown in figure 3.1.
CHAPTER 3
Configuring the Drive

Figure 3.1 – Drive Select—Disconnected
Step 2. Select the drive type and software version as well as the model number and
any options (if supported by the drive). Your choice of a model number
determines the default values for U.xxx and H.xxx parameters.
Step 3. Click OK to select the drive type.
If you select a GV3000 (version 5.0 or later) or Liqui-Flo drive, the options box displays
the option selections. Selecting RMI results in the .r parameters being listed in the
Parameter Monitor and Configuration Editor. You must select the Power Module’s
model number as well.
You can establish communication with the drive by selecting Connect or by re-starting
the CS3000 software. See chapter 8 for more information.

3.2 Creating a New Configuration
You can create a new drive configuration, which sets the parameter values to their
defaults. You assign a name to the configuration file when you save it. See section 3.6
for information about saving configurations.
To create a new configuration:
• From the File menu, choose New, or click .
If a configuration file is already open and has been changed, a dialog box is displayed
that asks if you want to save the current configuration file. If you select Yes, the Save
As dialog box is displayed before the new configuration file is opened.
When you create a new GV3000 or Liqui-Flo configuration, the File New dialog box
(figure 3.2) is displayed. This lets you select the Vector or Volts/Hertz control
(regulation) type and USA, Japan, or Europe as the default type.
After making your selections, select OK to open the new configuration file.

When you select the control type, parameters that depend on the control type are
changed to their defaults. The control type determines which parameters are
displayed. See the appropriate drive instruction manual for more information about the
control and default type options.

3.3 Opening a Drive Configurat ion File
Opening a drive configuration file loads the file from the personal computer to the
CS3000 software. Once the configuration file is opened, you can download it to the
drive.
To open a configuration file:
Step 1. From the File menu, choose Open or click .
Step 2. If you already have a configuration file open and have made edits to it that
have not been saved, you are prompted to save the changes. Make the
appropriate selection. See section 3.6 for more information about saving
configuration files.
The Open Configuration File dialog box is displayed. An example is shown in
figure 3. 3.
Configuring the Drive
Figure 3.3 – Open Configuration File Dialog Box
Step 3. The Open Configuration File dialog box defaults to the work directory of the
CS3000 software, which was specified during installation. If this is not the
correct directory, select the directory where the file is stored.
Step 4. Select the name of the file you want to open. The name of the file should be
copied in the File Name box. If not, click on it again.
If the configuration file you want does not have the .CNF extension, it does
not show up automatically in the box under File Name. In this case, select *.*
in the List Files of T ype box to display all of the av ailable files in the File Name
list.
Step 5. Open the file by selecting OK. The name of the file you selected now appears
in the Opened Configuration field of the main window.
To close the dialog box without selecting a file, select Cancel.

3.4 Opening a Configuration File for a Different Version of the Same Drive
Configuration files include version information about the drive. When you open a
configuration file, the CS3000 software compares the configuration file’s drive version
to the version of the selected drive. If the versions are different, a message box alerts
you of the difference.
.
To: Do the following: Then:
not open the file Choose No. The software returns to the main window without
opening the file.
to copy the configuration file
to the CS3000 software
Choose Yes. A copy of the original configuration file is created.
Then the CS3000 software checks for differences
between the parameters in the copy and the
parameters in the currently selected drive.
If no parameter differences are found, the CS3000
main window is displayed and the opened
configuration is named “UNTITLED.” The original
configuration file is not changed. To save the new
configuration, see section 3.6.
If parameter differences are found, the CS3000
software replaces the parameters in the copied
configuration to match the parameters of the
currently selected drive version. The Configuration
Changes dialog box is displayed, which shows you
what changes were made. This dialog box cannot
be edited.
