Useful features
DriveWindow Light
The user-friendly start-up and maintenance tool for the world
of ABB-drives supports both ABB’s DC-drives and AC-drives.
DriveWindow Light is a PC software package for easy and
fast start-up and maintenance of DCS550 converters and is
part of the basic package. In offline-mode, all parameters can
be set from the user’s office desk. The parameter browser
can both display and save parameters on the computer. A
comparison feature can compare and align current values with
a stored set of parameters. With the “Local”-feature, the drive
can be controlled as well. At the same time, up to four display
values can be visualized graphically. DriveWindow Light also
includes an assistant for guided start-up, winder functions as
well as the AP-tool for block programming.
Start-up assistant
The DriveWindow Light start-up assistant for the DCS550
provides valuable support during commissioning via an in-
teractive dialog. The individual steps of the start-up process
are pre-defined in the right order and all required parameters
are displayed. The “Basic”-feature captures motor and con-
nection data and adjusts the controller automatically. The
“Advanced”-feature supports the start-up of serial communi-
cation (fieldbus) and winder functions. The context-sensitive
help function is always available.
Adaptive Programming (AP):
Adaptive Programming is included in the basic package.
With the help of 16 functional blocks users can develop, test
and document their own programs easily in graphical mode.
The „Adaptive Programming“ (AP) function allows the imple-
mentation of additional features.
Modifications can be configured with either the control panel
or with the help of the graphical interface of DriveWindow
Light AP.
The main features of DriveWindow Light AP are:
–
16 programmable function blocks
