[1] Introduction

This document describes the Wi Tool which is a tool for the Toshiba Wi Series drive equipment. For information on how to install Wi Tool on your PC, refer to the "Installation manual" (6F3A4507). Note that the drive equipment cannot be connected unless the correct connection method and PC settings are used. Be sure to understand the concept of these settings thoroughly. The following topics are described:

Chapter 2: Connection Method Chapter 3: Startup Method Chapter 4: Main Window Description Chapter 5: Function Summary Chapter 6: Function Details Chapter 7: Connection Other than 1:1 Connection

<Before you begin> Microsoft and Toshiba have the Copyrights to this software. Copying this software to unauthorized PC is prohibited. Do not install programs other than the above on your PC. The settings of your PC may be altered causing the Wi Tool to slow down or become inoperable.

<Notes on rewriting drive equipment data> Observe the following when rewriting the drive equipment data.

1) Rewriting the data may disturb the drive equipment. (For example, if the speed setting is rewritten, the motor speed will change. If the control gain is rewritten, the control system will change causing it to trip or become unstable. ) Be very careful when rewriting. When the motor is running, the message "OK to rewrite while running?" appears on the screen.

2) When rewriting the data, there is a password function on the drive equipment side. If the correct password is not provided, a password error occurs and the data remains unchanged.

3) The setting in the drive equipment is normally written in RAM. Wi Tool normally modifies this data in RAM. However, this data in RAM is erased once the power is turned off. Therefore, the drive equipment also holds the settings in EEPROM which is not erased when the power is turned off and the settings are copied to RAM from EEPROM when the power is turned on. When data is changed with the Wi Tool, only the data in RAM is changed. Therefore, the settings must be copied from RAM to EEPORM before turning the power off.

<Maintenance> This software is supplied on CD-ROM. Keep it as backup.

Ethernet

[2] Wi Tool connection

The following three types of network connections are available for Wi Tool:

1) 1:1 connection PC and drive are connected 1 to 1. Therefore, only one PC and drive equipment are connected to the network.

Figure 2 1:1 connection

2) 1:N connection Multiple drive equipments are connected to a single PC. Normally, the network is connected through a device called the HUB. In this case, an IP address is required for the PC and each drive unit.

3) 1:N RIO connection This is a connection made via Integrated Controller V Series.

The PC is connected to the Integrated Controller network and exchanges messages with the Integrated Controller RIO (Remote I/O Controller). RIO and drive equipment exchange messages using the message transmission function of the Transmission Unit TL-S20. Consequently, the PC exchanges messages with the drive equipment.

In this case, an IP address is required for the PC and each RIO. The drive equipment does not need an IP address because message is exchanged using the

TL-S20.

The necessary information, the creation of setup file based on this information, PC setup, and the window display depend on the selected connection method ((1) 1:1, (2) 1:N, or (3) 1:N RIO).

Refer to the "Installation manual" (6E3A4507) for details.

4) Connection between PC and drive equipment The actual connection between the PC and drive equipment is made by an Ethernet cable. (1) In the case of 1:1 connection, connect the TOOL connector on the drive equipment board

and the Ethernet connector of the PC with an Ethernet cross cable. The Ethernet cross cable is provided with Wi Tool.

(2) In the case of 1:N, it is not possible to connect to the drive equipment board. Connect the Ethernet connector of the PC and the hub with an Ethernet straight cable because the signal from the drive equipment is connected to the Ethernet hub.

(3) In the case of 1:N RIO connection, connect the Ethernet connector of the PC and the hub with an Ethernet straight cable as with (2) 1:N connection.

Cross cable and straight cable are available as Ethernet cable. Note that the correct cable must be used. A single cross cable is included with Wi Tool. Straight cables must be purchased separately.

[3] Starting Wi Tool

If installation is finished, Wi Tool can be started according to the following procedure:

1) Click the START button at the bottom left corner of the screen.

2) Select Program/TOSHIBA Drive Tools.

3) When Wi Tool appears, click it.

4) If TOSHIBA Drive Tools or Wi Tool is not displayed:

Wi Tool may not be installed.

Install it. Refer to the "Installation manual" (6F3A4507) for details.

The following window appears when Wi Tool is started.

Figure 3.2 Logon window Enter the User Name and Access Level and then click OK. A password input window appears when connecting to the drive equipment.

Figure 3.3 Password prompt

Enter the password and click OK. <<User Name, Access Level, Password>> The name of the operator allowed to connect to the drive equipment, access level of the

operator, and the password for that operator are registered in each drive equipment. This operator name is referred to as the User Name.

The access level is divided into ten levels from 0 (Read Only) to 9 (Full Access). If the User Name and Access Level do not match those registered in the drive equipment, the

drive equipment returns access level 0. The User Name and Password are set to "TOSHIBA" at factory shipment.

Access level 9 is allowed with this user name.

This User Name and Access Level are entered when starting Wi Tool and are used to connect to the drive equipment.
