ASD-to-PC Connectivity Precautions

DANGER

WARNING

ASD-to-PC connectivity may be carried out via the Toshiba NetPac Wireless System or via the USB­to-RJ45 cable. The content of this manual will cover the RJ45 cable connection method as the primary
means of connectivity for software use. The Toshiba NetPac Wireless System is discussed only as it
applies to the Network Window of the software that is used to manage the connected nodes of the
Toshiba NetPac Wireless System.

Note: See the NetPac Wireless System Installation and Operation Manual for specifics on

the setup, installation, and use of the wireless system.

Connecting a personal computer (PC) to an ASD via a communication cable is potentially very
dangerous. When using a communication cable, ensure that the cable is not in contact with any
energized part of the ASD.

Ensure that all personnel are in a safe location and that the equipment connected to the ASD will not
cause equipment damage or injury to personnel from any sudden or unexpected starting or stopping of
the motor.

ASD parameter changes made using the ASD Pro Software may cause unexpected starting or stopping
of the connected motor. Always turn off ASD power and then turn it on again before the final checkout.
This ensures that parameters are written to the ASD memory correctly.

DO NOT use a cable that is frayed or that shows any signs of damage when connecting the PC to the
ASD.

The routing of the cable through the ASD is critical. Avoid areas of the ASD where electrical noise may
be induced into the cable. The cable must be routed and secured to avoid any areas where high voltages
may be present. High voltage entering the cable may result in equipment damage, injury to personnel or
loss of life.

DO NOT exert any force on the RJ45 wires or connections. Tension from pulling on RJ45 cables may
damage the connections within the connector shell. Damaged wires can result in intermittent
communication or no communication.

DO NOT plug an EOI/keypad into an energized ASD. The ASD should always be Off prior to removal
or installation of an EOI/keypad.

The ASD Pro Software enhances the programmability of TIC’s ASDs. ASDs produced by TIC are
installed as a part of a larger system and may present hazards to equipment or personnel if improperly
programmed.

If using the Toshiba NetPac Wireless System to connect the ASD to the PC, once connectivity is
established, DO NOT swap the routers of the connected ASDs.

If using the Toshiba NetPac Wireless System to connect the ASD to the PC, set the ASD
Communications Time Out Time and the Communications Time Out Action parameters to a
disposition in the event of a loss of communication.

ONLY qualified personnel should make changes to the parameters of the ASD.

ASD Pro Software Installation and Operation Manual 5

System Protection

DANGER

• Ensure that primary protection exists for the input wiring to the equipment. This protection must be
able to interrupt the available fault current from the power line. The equipment may or may not be
equipped with an (optional) input disconnect.

• Improper programming of the ASD Pro Software can result in loss of control. Ensure that the
Emergency Off braking system of the ASD is properly set up. The function of the Emergency Off
braking function is to remove output power from the drive in the event of an emergency. A
supplemental braking system may also be engaged in the event of an emergency.

Note: A supplemental emergency stopping system should be used with the ASD. Emergency

stopping should not be a task of the ASD alone.

• Follow all warnings and precautions and do not exceed equipment ratings.

ASD Setup Requirements

• When using the ASD Pro Software as an integral part of a larger system, it is the responsibility of
the ASD installer/maintenance personnel and the software user/installer to ensure that there is a
fail-safe in place (i.e., an arrangement designed to switch the system to a safe condition if there is a
fault or failure).

• System safety features should be employed and designed into the integrated system in a manner
such that system operation, even in the event of system failure or programming error, will not cause
harm or result in system damage or injury to personnel (i.e., E-Off, Auto-Restart settings, System
Interlocks, etc.).

• The programming setup and system configurations of the ASD Pro Software may allow it to start
the motor unexpectedly. A familiarity with the Auto-Restart and system protection settings are a
requirement to use this product.

• Improperly designed or improperly installed system interlocks, or improper system settings may
render the motor unable to start or stop on command. Know and understand the parameter values
and settings that are being changed.

• Use of the built-in system protective features of the ASD Pro Software is highly recommended
(i.e., E-Off, Overload Protection, etc.).

• It is the responsibility of the ASD installer/maintenance personnel and the software user/installer to
know the outcome of changes made to the ASD parameters while using the ASD Pro Software.

The Sample Time setting (time between each sample) is set from the Realtime Graphing section and
is used to scale the real-time graphical display. The unit of measurement for the sample time may be
entered as milli seconds, seconds, or minutes — however, if the unit is milli seconds, the entered value
must be a multiple of 10. Values entered that are not a multiple of 10 will be reduced to the next lower
multiple of 10 (e.g., 119mS entered becomes 110mS).

The minimum time between samples is 20mS. The unit of measure must be entered along with the
numerical value with no spaces (key in ms, s, or min).

ASD Pro Software Installation and Operation Manual 17

Graph Items

The Graph Items section contains the on-screen controls required to graphically display and log the
activity of user-selected parameters. The on-screen controls allow for up to five parameter items to be
simultaneously displayed in real time. Only the first of duplicate parameter items will be monitored and
updated. A log of the parameter items may be recorded as a file and recalled for viewing as required.

Listed below are the on-screen controls and the read-only monitored items along with a description of
each. See

Start/Stop Graphing

The Start Graphing button initiates the on-screen display of up to five user-selected parameters on the
Monitor Window graph. The label of the Start Graphing button toggles to Stop Graphing once

activated.

The Start Graphing function is enabled for activation by providing at least one user-selected parameter
to appear on the graph. Click any of the pull-down menus of the Graph Items section to select an item
from the listing to be monitored in the graph section. If None is selected or if blank for each, there will
be no response when clicking the Start Graphing button.

Click Start Graphing to initiate graphing of the selected item(s). Click Stop Graphing when finished.
The Start Graphing function only provides a display on the Monitor Window Graph; no logging file
is created.

The sample graphed image of Figure 5 on pg. 17 shows the ASD response to the Commanded
Frequency of 10 Hz, 30 Hz, 50 Hz, 60 Hz, 40 Hz, 20 Hz, 5 Hz, and then to off.

CSV files may be opened using MS Excel®.

ASD Pro Software Installation and Operation Manual 19

Snapshot

The Snapshot feature records the readings of the selected Graph Items and saves the information as a
log file. Snapshots are used to produce brief recordings of ASD activity.

Click Start Graphing or click Start Logging and Graphing to enable the Snapshot feature. Click the

Snapshot button to record the Graph Item(s). A Snapshot is comprised of 480 samples of the selected
Graph Item(s).

The recorded entries are input to the file at the rate set by the Sample Time field of the Monitor
Window — thus, the time length of the recorded Snapshot will be a function of the Sample Time

setting of the Realtime Graphing section (i.e., a higher sample rate will result in a shorter Snapshot file
— 480 samples over a shorter period).

The saved Snapshot file may be opened and displayed in the Monitor Window. Duplicate Snapshot
file names will be overwritten when saved.

Unit of Measure

The field adjacent to the measured value of the user-selected parameter displays the associated unit of
measure for the reading. The unit of measure is not affected by the A/V setting of parameter F701.

Offset

The Offset setting is useful if the displayed parameter has a positive and a negative property. This
function may be used to change the position of the measured quantity on the graph. By default, the zero
reference is zero and the Offset is set to -50 when displaying bipolar values.

The Offset may be changed for a given parameter using the up/down arrows to raise or lower the
display of the measured quantity. This feature is also useful when viewing two values that have the
same amplitude on a given axis. The Offset of either may be changed to provide non-overlapping traces
on the display.

Note: The measured value remains unchanged. This setting affects how the value is

displayed only.

Multiplication Factor (X)

The Multiplication Factor (X) is used to display data that would otherwise exceed the range of the
graph (greater than 100 or outside of the -50 to +50 range). The Multiplication Factor is selected
automatically and is not user-selectable. The Multiplication Factor scales the reading to fit the

Monitor Window screen. A reading of 150 is displayed as 75 with a multiplication factor of 2 in the
X field.

View Log Data

The View Log Data button allows the user to select and display previously recorded log and Snapshot
files. The resulting file data is displayed in the Monitor Window graph as the Graph Items that were
selected for logging or selected for a Snapshot when saved.

Note: Items that were not selected at the Select Logging Parameters dialog box when saved

will not be included in the log or

Snapshot file.



The log file name, date that the log file was created, and the sample time are displayed in the View Log
Data section of the Monitor Window. The Brief and Detail radio buttons of the View Log Data

section scale the Monitor Window graph display. The Brief and Detail buttons are only used (and
enabled) while viewing recorded log and Snapshot files.

20 ASD Pro Software Installation and Operation Manual

The graph view may be set to Brief or Detail to view only a section of a saved file or to view the entire
saved file, respectively. The Brief button displays the data log of 24 hours. The Detail button displays
approximately 90 seconds of the data log per screen.

Note: Because the logs are created using the time clock of the PC as a time stamp, ensure

that the PC clock is set to the correct time and date.

To view log data, click the View Log Data button of the Graph Items section. From the Open dialog
box, path to the recorded log or Snapshot file to be viewed, and click Open. The Detail button of the
Log Data View section will be used for most log views. However, to locate the start of a log that is less
than a few hours long may require using the Brief view.

Trip/Alarm Record

Any trip and/or alarm events are recorded and listed in this section for the active session. To clear this
information, stop the motor, close the ASD Pro Software, and then restart the ASD Pro Software.

Save Trip/Alarm to File

Click the Save Trip/Alarm to File button to record the trips and alarms for the active session. The
record is saved as a CSV file. Give the file to be saved a unique name and note the destination of the
saved file — the destination is user-selectable. Duplicate file names will be overwritten when saved.

Trip Trace (9-Series ONLY)

Place a check in the box to enable the Tri p Trace function. This feature is used to monitor and store up
to four ASD output waveform data points. The data may be read from the ASD and stored as a function
of a trip (At Trip) or it may be initiated by the activation of a discrete terminal activation (At Trigger).

The Tri p Trace feature is set up and operates in accordance with the settings of parameter F740 —
F745 of the connected ASD.

See the Installation and Operation Manual of the connected 9-Series ASD for more information on this
feature.

Monitor Items

The Monitor Items list contains all of the ASD monitored parameters and is updated at 2-second
intervals. The Monitor Items section is read-only and provides the status of ASD input, ASD output,
and control/system variables.

The Update Mon While Graphing On/Off radio buttons are used to enable or disable updates of the
Monitor Items list. While off, with the exception of the output frequency value, the listed items are
neither monitored nor updated.

Disabling the Monitor Items list terminates Monitor Items updates and is effective in providing better
throughput of ASD-to-PC read/write data for the graphing functions.

Note: Graph quality is dependent upon the speed and features of the PC being used.

Turning off the Update Mon While Graphing radio button, closing all other
windows, and using a shorter sample time will improve the graph resolution.

ASD Pro Software Installation and Operation Manual 21

Terminal Status

The Terminal Status section shows the status of the discrete input and discrete output terminals. When
configuring a discrete output terminal (from the Tree Window), NC is used as a suffix to denote
Normally Closed. No suffix is used to denote Normally Open.

The Terminal Status display is updated at 2-second intervals. The Terminal Status section is updated
regardless of the Update Mon While Graphing setting.

Tree Window

The Tree Window (see Figure 6) is accessed via the pull-down menu Windows  Tree Window and is
used to read from or to write to all of the ASD memory locations that are accessible via serial
communication.

Clicking a parameter from the Tree Window reads the current value (or setting) for the selected
parameter and displays it in the Va lu e field. The Val u e field may be changed for the parameter of the
communication number displayed in the Comm. No. field.

Click another parameter to exit without loading the new value (or setting) into the ASD or click the
Write button to accept the change.

Note: Clicking the Write button updates the Table Window and the EOI display of the

connected ASD for the changed parameter.

Note: To display changes made via the EOI of the ASD at the Tree Window, click the

changed parameter at the Tree Window. If the communication number of the
changed parameter is displayed at the Tree Window Comm No. field during the EOI
change, the updated value (or setting) may not appear. Click to another parameter of
the Tree Window and then back to the changed parameter to update the changed
parameter at the Tree Window Value field.

A known communication number may also be keyed into the Comm No. (Communication Number)
field to view or change the setting of the parameter entered (four digits are required for the
Communication Number field, i.e., 0009, 0109, etc.). Once changed, click the Write button to transfer
the new setting to the ASD. Otherwise, the changed setting will not be written to the ASD.

To use either method to change a parameter value (or setting), the Communication Number of the
parameter must appear in the Comm No. field. The desired parameter value may then be keyed in or
selected from the Val ue field pull-down menu.

Exit the Tree Window to discard any changes or click the Write button to load the new value (or
setting) into the ASD memory.

Read All From ASD (to Table)

The Read All From ASD pull-down selection opens the Table Window (if not opened). The parameter
values of the connected ASD are read and displayed in the Table Window.

This function may be carried out in either the ASD Read/Write mode or the Edit Table mode. The
Table Window information may be saved as a CSV file and loaded into another ASD or stored on the
PC for future use.

The ASD Pro Software is not sensitive to versions or revisions of the different ASD software that may
be loaded onto the connected ASD. The ASD Pro Software attempts to read all possible user
parameters from the ASD.

Different versions of ASD firmware may have added or changed parameters. These parameters will not
be read from some versions of the ASD software and will cause a Reading Error in the (shaded)
message box of the Table Window. A Reading Error should be investigated for assurance that the
cause is not harmful.

A Reading Error may also result when performing the Read All From ASD function if residual table
information from a previous session was used to populate the table. To correct for this, select disconnect
from the Connect pull-down menu and then reconnect to the ASD. This will populate the table with the
parametric profile of the connected ASD.

If in doubt, contact the Toshiba Customer Support Center with the firmware release information of the
connected ASD accompanied by a list of the reported parameters that caused the Reading Error.

ve To File

Save (from Table) To File

The Save to File function transfers the current Table Window
parameter table file to the PC in the CSV format. The Table Window
will not contain any data until the Read All From ASD function or the
Load From File function has been executed for the current session
(required to populate table)

Selecting the Save to File function prompts the user to select
additional measurement properties to be contained within the CSV file
to be saved. The default selections are Communication Number and
Current Value (both are fixed and cannot be deselected). The default
selected properties may not provide enough information in the
resulting CSV file. Place additional check(s) in the adjacent boxes of the properties to be saved in the
CSV file as required.

Click the Cancel button at the Select Items To Save dialog box to cancel the save operation or click

OK to save the file. Create a file name and select the storage location when prompted at the subsequent
Save As dialog box.

Note: Because no default file name is provided in the Save As file name field, using the

word Params in the file name will differentiate the stored Parameter Tables from the
stored Log files.

The saved file may be written to a parameter table (using the Load From File function) then loaded into
other ASDs or reloaded in the existing ASD and run as required.

The resulting file created from the Read All From ASD function followed by a Save to File command
causes hundreds of parameters to be saved to a user specified CSV file. Some applications will not
require that the entire list of parameters (Long Table) be saved.

The creation of a Short Table provides for this condition and is described in the next section.

Short Tables

A Long Table is comprised of the complete list of parameters read and saved via the Read All From

ASD function and the Save To File function. A Short Table is a subset of a Long Table and is

comprised of only those parameters specific to a given application (user-selected). Short tables may be
used when only specific parameters are required to be downloaded to various ASDs of the same type.

For instance, if it is required that all of the ASDs in an installation have acceleration and deceleration
times of 63 seconds, a short table can be created as a template that will change only those two
parameters and no others.

Before using the newly created short table, the table should be verified to be correct and after loading
into an ASD, the correct operation of the ASD should then be verified. After loading any table into an
ASD, turn off the ASD and allow the capacitors to discharge completely. Then turn on the ASD and
check the ASD for correct operation.

This assures that the parameters have been loaded into the memory of the ASD and that the new settings
are correct.

Creating a Short Table File

1. From the Table Window click the Edit Table radio button.

2. Click the Clear All Values button. This will clear any residual values from a previous session that

may be in the Val ue column of the table.

If the parameter that is being written to is a measurable value (current, voltage, etc.), go to step 6.

32 ASD Pro Software Installation and Operation Manual

If the parameter that is being written to is of a selection listing, continue to step 3.

3. Click in the Valu e column within the row of the parameter to be used in the creation of the short

table. Enter the number one (1) into the
the Edit Value field) and click Wr it e To Tab l e .

4. Click in the Valu e column within the row of the parameter being written to. The pull-down menu

listing for the parameter that is being written to will appear in the Edit Value field.

5. From the Edit Value field select the desired item from the pull-down menu and click Write To

Tab le to enter the data into the table.

If the parameter being written to is of the measurable value type (current, voltage, etc.), do the
following:

6. Enter the required value. The unit of measure will be as indicated in the Unit column of the table.

Click the Write To Table button.

7. Repeat Step 3 – 5, or Step 6 if measureable, for each item to be added to the Short Table File.

Click Write To Table for each new value/setting entry.

8. When prompted, provide a unique name and location for the saved file. Duplicate file names will

be overwritten when saved.

9. After the last parameter is written to the table, click the Save To File button. When prompted,

select the descriptive Items To Save from the resulting dialog box — all listed parameters will be
saved regardless of the dialog box selections. Selecting from the Items To Save list increases the
information included in the saved file for each parameter.



If no items are selected (Comm Number and Value selections are fixed and may not be
de-selected) the resulting file will include the communication number and the setting for each
added parameter. Give the file to be saved a unique name. Duplicate file names will be overwritten
when saved.

• Acc/Dec Settings,

• Pattern Run Settings on pg. 38,

• PID Settings on pg. 40,

• Preset Speed Setting on pg. 41,

• Terminal Settings on pg. 42,

• Torque Settings on pg. 44, and

• (Logic) My Function Settings on pg. 46.

Acc/Dec Settings

The Accel/Decel Settings screen is comprised of two setup screens that are selectable via the top-edge
Accel/Decel tabs: Accel/Decel Pattern and the Accel/Decel Switching screens.

The two screens are used to specify the time in seconds (rate) for the output of the ASD to go from 

0.0 Hz to the Maximum Frequency (Acc) and from the Maximum Frequency to 0.0 Hz (Dec).

The Acc/Dec settings are also used to determine the acceleration and deceleration rates of the 
UP/DOWN Frequency functions.

Note: An acceleration time shorter than the load will allow may cause nuisance tripping

and mechanical stress to loads. Automatic Accel/Decel, Stall, and Ridethrough
settings may lengthen the acceleration and deceleration times.

Accel/Decel Pattern

The Acc/Dec Pattern may be set to the Linear, S-Pattern 1, or S-Pattern 2 profile. The default
settings of either pattern may be adjusted to meet application-specific requirements.

Figure 10 on pg. 36 shows the Acc/Dec profile of the Linear, S-Pattern 1, and S-Pattern 2 settings.

See parameters F009, F010, F502, F503, F506, F507, F508, F509, F512, and F516 of the ASD
Installation and Operation Manual of the connected ASD for additional information on these settings.

Accel/Decel Switching

The Accel/Decel Switching screen is used to configure the Acc/Dec control profile when multiple Acc/
Dec times and patterns are required.

Up to four Acc/Dec profiles may be set up and run. The Acc/Dec profiles may be run individually or
sequentially. Sequential profiles are switched from one profile to the next profile via user-set threshold
output frequencies being reached or by using on/off combinations of two user-selected discrete input
terminals.

When using output threshold frequency settings to switch the Acc/Dec rate, the ASD Acc/Dec rate
switches to the next Acc/Dec profile upon reaching a user-set output frequency during acceleration or
deceleration automatically (e.g., profile 1 to 2, 2 to 3, or 3 to 4 during acceleration).

When using discrete input terminals to control the Acc/Dec profile, set two discrete input terminals to
Accel/Decel Switching and activate combinations of the two terminals as indicated in the table below
to select a given Acc/Dec profile.

(Logic) My Function Settings

Note: The My Function feature functions with the 9-Series ASD only.

The My Function feature is used to enhance the programmability of the ASD by performing two
programmable functions: 1) the Combined Terminal Function, and 2) Logic Operations (i.e., PLC
functions).

Up to seven My Function operating profiles (Units) may be programmed and executed. Select the Unit
(1–7) and complete the programming to use each Unit. With each Unit selection the associated
parameter numbers are displayed.

Parameters F900 to F977 are used to setup the My Function feature.

The My Function dialog box is shown below with a brief description of the fields of the dialog box. See
the My Function Instruction Manual and the ASD Installation and Operation Manual of the connected
ASD for additional information on the setup and operation of the My Function feature.

My Function Selections and Features

DANGER

Because the ALWAYS ON setting or an activated MY FUNCTION WITH

PERMISSION SIGNAL discrete input terminal setting enables the system

and the motor to run upon the successful completion of the My Function

setup, these settings are to be executed last when performing the My

Function setup.

Disable — Click to turn off the My Function feature. While disabled the My Function dialog box

will display the outcome of the programmed operations, but will not apply the outcome to the ASD or to
the motor.

My Function With Permission Signal — Once the My Function feature is setup via parameters
F900 to F977, click this radio button to enable My Function to be carried out as programmed via a
discrete input terminal (set the terminal to My Function Run).

Always On — Click this radio button for a continuous My Function enable. Always On enables the
system and motor to run upon the successful completion of the My Function setup.

Next Unit — Used to select the Unit to be run using My Function. Once setup and enabled, all units
are active and will produce the results of their programming. Ensure that all unused parameters of the
unused units are set to NOP and Deselect. This will disable the unused unit(s) and ensure that the motor
will not be activated unexpectedly via unused units.

Unit 1 – Unit 7 Function and Settings

Unit 1 is used for the following My Function dialog box descriptions. Units 2 – 7 are labeled

and function identically using different parameter numbers.

The settings of the My Function parameters may be selected for viewing or may be changed from the
My Function dialog box. Clicking any field of the My Function dialog box will display the associated

settings in the My Function Status Bar in the lower part of the dialog box.

Select the My Function setting from the My Function Status Bar pull-down menu and press Write To
ASD (for each change) to transfer the new setting to the ASD.

Input Function Target 1 — Is used as an input terminal assignment (holder) that is set to a terminal
label or to a system status and is used in the My Function equation. The value assigned to Input
Function Target 1 may be a user-set terminal assignment or it may be set to a systemic operating
variable (e.g., output current, discrete terminal status, input voltage, etc.). In either case, the value of
this terminal is used as a conditional input to be used to make the determination of the output of the My
Function equation.

Input Function Target 2 — Is used as an input terminal assignment (holder) that is set to a terminal
label or to a system status and is used in the My Function equation. The value assigned to Input
Function Target 2 may be a user-set terminal assignment or it may be set to a systemic operating
variable (e.g., output current, discrete terminal status, input voltage, etc.). In either case, the value of
this terminal is used as a conditional input to be used to make the determination of the output of the My
Function equation.

ASD Pro Software Installation and Operation Manual 47

Input Function Target 3 — Is used as an input terminal assignment (holder) that is set to a terminal
label or to a system status and is used in the My Function equation. The value assigned to Input
Function Target 3 may be a user-set terminal assignment or it may be set to a systemic operating
variable (e.g., output current, discrete terminal status, input voltage, etc.). In either case, the value of
this terminal is compared with the outcome of the combined Input Function Target 1 and Input
Function Target 2. The outcome of the compare function is used to make the determination of the
output of the My Function equation.

Input Function Command 2 — Is used to assign a user-selected logical operator to two user­selected Input Function Target variables, enable a counter/timer function, or to perform a hold/reset
function.

Output Function Assigned — Assigns the function of the Output Function Assigned data location
to one of the functions listed in the Input Setting field of the Discrete Output Terminal Assignments
listing. The listing for a given ASD type may be found in the ASD Installation and Operation Manual of
the connected ASD.
