Please read the following safety precautions carefully.
Safety Precautions
!
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).
Getting Started 1-5
This section is designed to help experienced users quickly start using the

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.

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
A. With the “Where is your destination?” screen (Figure 3.10)
displayed and “Remote” selected, tap Next -> to display the
“Searching for Bluetooth Devices:” screen (Figure 3.11
) that lists
the detected Bluetooth devices.
B. Select the Bluetooth device to which you want Pocket
DriveExplorer for Pocket PC to connect to, and tap OK.
C. With the Remote Configuration screen (Figure 3.12) displayed,
enter a name (for this example, Drive 1) for the drive. Then set its
node address (for this example, “1”) to match the node address of
the 22-COMM-D DeviceNet adapter in Drive 1.

different path to which the connection is saved on the Pocket PC.
Then tap OK. The StatusMonitor screen for the drive appears.
F. From the Drive 1 StatusMonitor screen, select Connect > New…
from the menu list. The New Connection Wizard screen appears.
Then select the “Bluetooth” radio button and tap Next ->.
G. Repeat sub-steps A through E for each remaining drive on the
network.
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.

3-10 Configuring the WIM
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).
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.
Using DriveExplorer/DriveExplorer Lite
!
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.
