1-4 Getting Started

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

(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.

disruptions using Parameter 07 - [Comm Flt Action].

To change the fault action

Set the value of Parameter 07 - [Comm Flt Action] to the desired
response:

Changes to this parameter take effect immediately. A reset is not
required.

Setting the Fault Action

!

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
Parameter 07 - [Comm Flt Action] lets you determine the action of

the WIM and connected drive if 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, disruption
of wireless communication).

Value Action Description

0 Fault The drive will fault.

1 Stop The drive will stop and not fault.

2 Zero data The drive is sent 0 for output data after a communications

disruption. This does not command a stop.

3 Hold last The drive continues in its present state after a communications

disruption.

Configuring the WIM 3-25

The WIM has a security mode to prevent access to its configuration
settings. You can enable the security mode using Parameter 05 -

[Security Mode], and set a desired PIN number using Parameter 06 ­[Security PIN].

To enable the WIM security mode

1. Set Parameter 05 - [Security Mode] to “PIN Required.”

2. Reset the WIM (see Resetting the WIM

on page 3-26).

To set a PIN number

1. Set Parameter 06 - [Security PIN] to a desired 4-digit number
(0000-9999). The default is “0000.”

For your convenience, please write down your assigned PIN number
and store it in a safe place:

PIN Number = ___ ___ ___ ___

2. Reset the WIM (see Resetting the WIM

on page 3-26).

To use the WIM when security mode is enabled

When establishing a wireless connection to the WIM for the first time,
entry of the PIN number will be requested. However, PIN number entry
will not be requested for any subsequent connection when using the
same device (Pocket PC, desktop computer or laptop computer). If you
do not secure your Pocket PC or computer against unauthorized use, the
WIM security feature will not provide its intended protection.

Enabling and Setting the Security Mode

Value Description

0 PIN Not Required (Default)

1 PIN Required

3-26 Configuring the WIM

To reset a PIN number when misplaced or forgotten

If you misplaced or forget the assigned PIN number, you will not be able
to connect to the WIM using drive software. To reset the PIN number,
you will need to access the WIM through a different DSI peripheral (for
example, 22-HIM). Using that peripheral, select Parameter 05 -

[Security Mode] and set it to “0” (PIN Not Required). Then select
Parameter 06 - [Security PIN] to view the stored PIN number.

When using the WIM in RTU Master mode, DSI peripherals are not
supported. In this case, call Drives Technical Support for assistance. (See

Page P-2

for contact information.)

Changes to some WIM parameters require that you reset the WIM before
the new settings take effect. You can reset the WIM by cycling power to
the drive or by using Parameter 08 - [Reset Module].

Set Parameter 08 - [Reset Module] to Reset Module.

After you enter 1 = Reset Module, the WIM will be immediately reset.

Important: This will break the wireless connection, so you will need to

re-establish the connection.

When you enter 2 = Set Defaults, the WIM will set all WIM parameters
to their factory-default settings. After performing a Set Defaults, enter
1 = Reset Module so that the new values take effect. The value of this
parameter will be restored to 0 = Ready after performing the reset or

Appendix C

Wireless Flash Updating DSI
Peripherals

Appendix C provides information about using the WIM with compatible
Allen-Bradley software tools through wireless communication to flash
update itself and other DSI peripherals, such as PowerFlex 4-Class HIMs
and communication adapters, to take full advantage of new firmware
features as they become available.

Note: You cannot flash update a PowerFlex 4-Class drive using the
WIM. Instead, you must use the AK-U9-FLSH1 PowerFlex 4-Class
Flash Update Kit, which includes the flash module with cable, a
1203-SFC cable, and instructions.

Important: Using a hard-wired cable connection is the preferred

method to flash update a DSI peripheral. However, if the
application circumstances dictate that a flash update using
wireless communication is necessary, then follow the
procedure for the respective software tool in this appendix.

This wireless flash update procedure uses a 22-COMM-D
communication adapter as the example DSI peripheral being flashed.
When flashing other DSI peripherals, screens associated with that device
will be different than those shown in this procedure.

Glossary

A Application Code

Code that runs in the WIM after the boot code calls it. It performs the
normal operations of the system.

B BCC (Block Check Character)

An error detection scheme where the 2’s complement of the 8-bit sum
(modulo-256 arithmetic sum) of all data bytes in a transmission block. It
provides a means of checking the accuracy of each message
transmission.

Bluetooth Wireless Technology

Bluetooth wireless technology enables cable-free connection of devices
that would normally be physically linked by wires, such as a drive
connected to a computer.

Boot Code

Code that runs when the WIM first receives power. It checks basic
operations and then calls the application code.

C ControlFLASH

ControlFLASH is an Allen-Bradley software tool that lets users
electronically update firmware on printed circuit boards. The tool takes
advantage of the growing use of flash memory (electronic erasable
chips) across industrial control products.

CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check)

An error detection scheme where all of the characters in a message are
treated as a string of bits representing a binary number. This number is
divided by a predetermined binary number (a polynomial) and the
remainder is appended to the message as a CRC character. A similar
operation occurs at the receiving end to prove transmission integrity.

D DF1 Protocol

A peer-to-peer link layer protocol that combines features of ANSI
X3.28-1976 specification subcategories D1 (data transparency) and F1
(two-way simultaneous transmission with embedded responses).

G-2 Glossary

DSI (Drive Serial Interface)

DSI is based on the Modbus RTU serial communication protocol and is
used by various Allen-Bradley drives and power products, such as
PowerFlex 4, PowerFlex 40, PowerFlex 40P, and PowerFlex 400 drives.

DSI Peripheral

A device that provides an interface between DSI and a network or user.
Peripheral devices are also referred to as “adapters” or “modules.” The
WIM and PowerFlex 4-Class HIMs (22-HIM-xxx) are examples of DSI
peripherals.

DSI Product

A device that uses the DSI communications interface to communicate
with one or more peripheral devices. For example, a motor drive such as
a PowerFlex 4-Class drive is a DSI product. In this manual, a DSI
product is also referred to as “drive” or “host.”

DriveExplorer Software

DriveExplorer software is a tool for monitoring and configuring
Allen-Bradley products and adapters. It can be run on computers running
various Microsoft Windows operating systems. DriveExplorer (version

3.xx or higher) can be used to configure the WIM and PowerFlex drives.
Information about DriveExplorer and a free Lite version can be accessed
at http://www.ab.com/drives/driveexplorer

.

DriveTools SP Software

A software suite designed for running on various Microsoft Windows
operating systems. This software suite provides a family of tools,
including DriveExecutive, that you can use to program, monitor, control,
troubleshoot, and maintain Allen-Bradley products. DriveTools SP
(version 1.01 or higher) can be used with PowerFlex drives. Information
about DriveTools SP can be accessed at http://www.ab.com/drives/

Glossary G-3

F Flash Update

The process of updating firmware in a device. The WIM can be flash
updated using the Allen-Bradley software tool ControlFLASH in
combination with an Allen-Bradley drive-configuration software tool,
such as Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC, DriveExplorer or
DriveExecutive.

H HIM (Human Interface Module)

A device that can be used to configure and control a PowerFlex 4-Class
drive. PowerFlex 4-Class HIMs (22-HIM-xxx) can also be used to
configure connected peripherals such as the WIM.

Hold Last

When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is
disconnected), the WIM and PowerFlex drive can respond by holding
last. Hold last results in the drive receiving the last data received via the
DF1 connection before the disruption. If the drive was running and using
the Reference from the converter, it will continue to run at the same
Reference.

N NVS (Non-Volatile Storage)

NVS is the permanent memory of a device. Devices such as the WIM
and drive store parameters and other information in NVS so that they are
not lost when the device loses power. NVS is sometimes called
“EEPROM.”

P PCCC (Programmable Controller Communications Commands)

PCCC is the protocol used by some controllers to communicate with
devices on a network. Some software products (for example,
DriveExplorer and DriveExecutive) also use PCCC to communicate.

Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC Software

Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC software is a Pocket PC tool for
monitoring and configuring Allen-Bradley products and adapters. It can
be run on a Pocket PC running Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 (or
higher) operating system. Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC (version

1.xx or higher) can be used to configure the WIM and PowerFlex drives.

Information about Pocket DriveExplorer for Pocket PC can be accessed

G-4 Glossary

PowerFlex 4-Class (Component-Class) Drives

The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 4-Class family of AC drives includes the
PowerFlex 4, PowerFlex 40, PowerFlex 40P, and PowerFlex 400. These
drives can be used for applications ranging from 0.2 kW (0.25 HP) to 7.5
kW (10 HP).

S Status Indicator

A status indicator is an LED that is used to report the status of a device.
The WIM has one status indicator that emits blue, green, or red
indications.

W WIM (Wireless Interface Module)

The WIM provides a wireless communications interface between any
Allen-Bradley DSI drive and a computer or Pocket PC with an RS-232
port. The WIM uses a full-duplex RS-232 DF1 protocol. The WIM may
also be referred to as “22-WIM-N*,” “DSI peripheral,” or “module.”

Z Zero Data

When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is
disconnected), the converter and drive can respond with zero data. Zero
data results in the drive receiving zero as values for Logic Command,
Reference, and Datalink data. If the drive was running and using the
Reference from the converter, it will stay running but at zero Reference.
