CHAPTER 1

Introduction

This section describes the computer requirements for the CS3000 software and presents general information about the software and this manual.

1.1About the Control and Configuration Software

Use the Control and Configuration (CS3000) software to help you develop drive configurations on your personal computer for GV3000ä, Liqui-Floä, and

FlexPakä 3000 drives. The CS3000 software communicates with the drive through the personal computer’s RS-232 port.

By using the CS3000 software, you can:

•Create, store, upload, download, and print drive configurations.

•Monitor drive status.

•Monitor and change drive parameters using a personal computer.

•Control the drive (start, stop, etc.).

•Compare a configuration in the drive with one in the personal computer.

•Read and reset the drive fault and error log.

•Create, modify, and store drive configurations.

•Send Memory Save, Memory Restore, and Restore Defaults commands to a drive.

•Display trace signals in the drive.

1.2Software Requirements

The CS3000 software requires Microsoft Windowsä 3.1 or later versions (including Windows 98 or Windows NT). Make sure Windows is installed and configured on your personal computer before attempting to install the CS3000 software.

Introduction

1-1

1.3Hardware Requirements

Before installing and using the CS3000 software make sure you have the following hardware:

•An IBM or IBM-compatible 486 or Pentium personal computer running Windows 3.1, Windows 98, or Windows NT.

•16 Mbytes of RAM (minimum)

•A hard drive with at least 1 Mbytes free space available for the CS3000 software

•A 3.5" floppy drive

•A Monochrome or color monitor: VGA or better

•An RS-232 serial COM port for communicating with the drive

•An RS-232 serial cable with:

•A 25-pin or 9-pin D-shell connector for your personal computer

•A 9-pin or 25-pin male D-shell connector for the drive.

The GV3000 drive is equipped with a terminal strip as well as a 9-pin D-shell connector. Either one can be used to connect to the personal computer. Refer to section 2.3.1 for additional information.

1.4Cables

The Interface cable can be used to connect the personal computer to the drive.

The Adapter is required, if your personal computer has a 25-pin COM port and you want to use one of the specified Interface cables.

1.5Safety Information

ATTENTION: Do not run other Windows or DOS software applications while you are using the CS3000 software for drive control. Unexpected

!machine motion could result. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

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.

1.6Purpose 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 instruction manual for information about parameters and RS-232 connection options.

1.7Intended Audience

This manual is written for those who must install the CS3000 software and use the software to configure and run GV3000, Liqui-Flo, and FlexPak drives. This manual assumes you are familiar with Windows and makes references to it throughout.

You will need to know the basic Windows functions before using the CS3000 software.

CHAPTER 2

Getting Started

This section describes how to install the CS3000 software and use the menus and toolbars.

2.1Before Installing the Software

If you have an older version of the CS3000 software on your PC, you should either:

•delete the old version before installing the new version

Keep any working files such as, the drive configuration and monitor list files, for use with the new version of the CS3000 software

•install the new version of CS3000 software in a new directory

You can select the new directory name during installation. If you choose this option, change the name of the program folder for the old version of the CS3000 software to a name other than CS3000, such as “CS3000, V 5.0.” Otherwise, the new version will replace the old version in that program group, although it will not overwrite any of the files on the hard drive. See your Windows documentation for more information about changing the name of a program group.

Before installing the new CS3000 software, back up the files to another floppy disk.

See your Windows documentation for instructions about using the File Manager or Explorer to copy disks.

Getting Started

2-1

2.2Installing the CS3000 Software on a Personal Computer

All files needed to install the CS3000 software are on the 3.5" CS3000 disk. Use the following steps to install the CS3000 software.

Important: To exit installation, select the Exit icon in the lower right corner or press

Step 1. Start Microsoft Windows.

Step 2. Insert the CS3000 software disk into the 3.5" floppy drive.

Step 3. Follow the steps for operating the system you are using:

		Windows 3.1	Windows 98 or NT
	a. From the Program Manager		a. From the Start Menu, select Run.
		menu bar, select File.
	b.	Select Run.	b. In the Open field, type in the
			drive letter followed by SETUP.
	c.	In the Command Line field,
			For example, if your 3.5" floppy
		type in the drive letter
			drive is A:, you would type
		followed by \SETUP.EXE. For
			A:SETUP
		example, if your 3.5" floppy
			The message “Setup is
		drive is A:, you would type
			initializing. Please wait . . .” is
		A:\SETUP.EXE.
			displayed for about a minute.
	d. Select OK. The message
		“Setup is initializing. Please
		wait . . .” is displayed for
		about a minute.

Step 4. At the prompt “Enter location for Control and Configuration Software program files,” specify the location where you want to install the software. The location defaults to C:\CS3000. Select OK when the drive and directory are correct.

The installation software automatically creates the new directory on the hard drive you enter.

Step 5. At the prompt “Enter desired default location for Control and Configuration Software work files,” specify the location where you want to store the drive configuration files. The default location is C:\CS3000\WORK. Select OK when the drive and directory are correct.

The program begins its installation sequence. You see the following messages during installation:

•“Decompressing Control and Configuration Software files . . .” for about a minute, then

•“Creating Program Group and Icon” for a few seconds

2-2	Control and Configuration Software V6.1

After creating the program group and icon, the CS3000 software installation is complete. The installation program automatically exits, and you return to Windows. You should see a new program group titled “Control and Configuration.”

Step 6. Remove the CS3000 disk from the 3.5" drive.

The CS3000 software is now installed and ready to use.

If you had an older version of the CS3000 software installed, you can use the configuration and monitor files you created with that version. To make it easier to use the existing configuration and monitor files, move them to the working directory of the new version of software. The working directory is normally C:\CS3000\WORK. Configuration files typically have file extensions of .CNF; monitor files typically have

.MON file extensions. See the Windows documentation for information about moving files.

2.3Setting Up Communication Between the CS3000 Software and the Drive

The following sections describe the setup required for communication between the CS3000 software and the drive. To enable communication between the CS3000 software and the drive:

•Physically connect the personal computer to the drive through a serial port connection (see section 2.3.1)

•Set up the drive for communication through a serial port (see section 2.3.2)

•Select the correct communication port on the personal computer (see section 2.3.3)

2.3.1Connecting the Personal Computer’s Serial Port to the Drive

For the CS3000 software to communicate with the drive, connect the personal computer to the drive using an appropriate cable by following these instructions:

Step 1. The drive’s RS-232 port typically uses a 9-pin or 25-pin female D-shell connector. Connect the communication cable’s 9-pin or 25-pin male connector to the drive. Refer to the drive instruction manual for the location of the RS-232 port on the drive.

Step 2. Connect the other end of the communication cable to the personal computer’s COM1 port. If the COM1 port is not available, refer to section 2.3.3 for information about selecting the correct communication port. The personal computer COM port might have either a 25-pin or a 9-pin connector. Refer to figures 2.1 through 2.3 for cable connector and pinout signals for 9-pin and 25-pin configurations.

CHAPTER 3

Configuring the Drive

This chapter describes how to configure a drive.

3.1Selecting 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.

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.

3.2Creating 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.

Figure 3.2 – File New Window

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.

3.3Opening a Drive Configuration 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.

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 Type box to display all of the available 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.

3.4Opening 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.
