CHAPTER 1
Introduction
This section describes the computer requirements for the CS3000 software and
presents general information about the software and this manual.
1.1 About the Control and Configuration Software

Use the Control and Configuration (CS3000) software to help you develop drive
configurations on your personal computer for GV3000, Liqui-Flo, and
FlexPak 3000 drives. The CS3000 software communicates with the drive through the
personal computer’s RS-232 port.
By using the CS3000 software, you can:
• Create, store, upload, download, and print drive configurations.

• Monitor drive status.
• Monitor and change drive parameters using a personal computer.
• Control the drive (start, stop, etc.).
• Compare a configuration in the drive with one in the personal computer.
• Read and reset the drive fault and error log.
• Create, modify, and store drive configurations.
• Send Memory Save, Memory Restore, and Restore Defaults commands to a
drive.
• Display trace signals in the drive.
1.2 Software Requirements

The CS3000 software requires Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later versions (including
Windows 98 or Windows NT). Make sure Windows is installed and configured on your
personal computer before attempting to install the CS3000 software.
Introduction 1-1
1.3 Hardware Requirements
Before installing and using the CS3000 software make sure you have the following
hardware:
• An IBM or IBM-compatible 486 or Pentium personal computer running Windows

3.1, Windows 98, or Windows NT.
• 16 Mbytes of RAM (minimum)
• A hard drive with at least 1 Mbytes free space available for the CS3000 software
• A 3.5" floppy drive
• A Monochrome or color monitor: VGA or better
• An RS-232 serial COM port for communicating with the drive
• An RS-232 serial cable with:
• A 25-pin or 9-pin D-shell connector for your personal computer
• A 9-pin or 25-pin male D-shell connector for the drive.
The GV3000 drive is equipped with a terminal strip as well as a 9-pin D-shell
connector. Either one can be used to connect to the personal computer. Refer to
section 2.3.1 for additional information.
1.4 Cables
The Interface cable can be used to connect the personal computer to the drive.
The Adapter is required, if your personal computer has a 25-pin COM port and you
want to use one of the specified Interface cables.

1.5 Safety Information
ATTENTION: Do not run other Windows or DOS software applications
while you are using the CS3000 software for drive control. Unexpected
! machine motion could result. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
The CS3000 software operates as a Windows 3.1 application. It cannot preempt other
applications or functions in Windows and, therefore, cannot guarantee a response
time to user input actions. Using other applications while controlling a drive with the
CS3000 software can tie up PC resources and cause drive commands to be delayed.
To prevent drive commands (run, stop, and jog) from unexpectedly executing, the
CS3000 software specifies a time-out period (approximately 2 seconds) when it
establishes a link with the drive. While the link is established, the CS3000 software
sends messages to the drive to validate the link. If a message fails to reach the drive
within the time-out period because program execution has been delayed, the drive
invalidates the link. If the link becomes invalid, the drive does not accept drive
commands. If the drive was running, it stops, and a serial fault is generated.
Before a drive control command is sent to the drive, the drive’s status is checked to
validate the link. If communication between the CS3000 software and the drive have
been interrupted and you have selected a drive command, the command is not sent
and a message is displayed.
The time-out period is also used by the Parameter Monitor and Download functions,
both of which could be running while the Drive Control Window is open. If the link
becomes invalid while these functions are running, a message will be displayed in the
Drive Control window before the link is re-established. When you select the Download
command while the Drive Control window is open, you cannot execute drive command
controls until the download is complete.
1.6 Purpose of This Manual

This manual describes how to use the Control and Configuration software (CS3000) to
configure GV3000, Liqui-Flo, and FlexPak 3000 drives. Refer to the appropriate drive
instruction manual for information about parameters and RS-232 connection options.
1.7 Intended Audience

This manual is written for those who must install the CS3000 software and use the
software to configure and run GV3000, Liqui-Flo, and FlexPak drives. This manual
assumes you are familiar with Windows and makes references to it throughout.
You will need to know the basic Windows functions before using the CS3000 software.

CHAPTER 2
Getting Started
This section describes how to install the CS3000 software and use the menus and
toolbars.
2.1 Before Installing the Software

If you have an older version of the CS3000 software on your PC, you should either:
• delete the old version before installing the new version
Keep any working files such as, the drive configuration and monitor list files, for
use with the new version of the CS3000 software
• install the new version of CS3000 software in a new directory

You can select the new directory name during installation. If you choose this
option, change the name of the program folder for the old version of the CS3000
software to a name other than CS3000, such as “CS3000, V 5.0.” Otherwise, the
new version will replace the old version in that program group, although it will not
overwrite any of the files on the hard drive. See your Windows documentation for
more information about changing the name of a program group.
Before installing the new CS3000 software, back up the files to another floppy disk.
See your Windows documentation for instructions about using the File Manager or
Explorer to copy disks.
Getting Started 2-1

2.2 Installing the CS3000 Software on a Personal

type in the drive letter drive is A:, you would type
followed by \SETUP.EXE. For A:SETUP
example, if your 3.5" floppy The message “Setup is
drive is A:, you would type initializing. Please wait . . .” is
A:\SETUP.EXE. displayed for about a minute.
d. Select OK. The message

“Setup is initializing. Please
wait . . .” is displayed for
about a minute.
Step 4. At the prompt “Enter location for Control and Configuration Software program
files,” specify the location where you want to install the software. The location
defaults to C:\CS3000. Select OK when the drive and directory are correct.
The installation software automatically creates the new directory on the hard
drive you enter.
Step 5. At the prompt “Enter desired default location for Control and Configuration
Software work files,” specify the location where you want to store the drive
configuration files. The default location is C:\CS3000\WORK. Select OK
when the drive and directory are correct.
The program begins its installation sequence. You see the following
messages during installation:
• “Decompressing Control and Configuration Software files . . .” for about a

minute, then
• “Creating Program Group and Icon” for a few seconds

After creating the program group and icon, the CS3000 software installation is
complete. The installation program automatically exits, and you return to
Windows. You should see a new program group titled “Control and
Configuration.”
Step 6. Remove the CS3000 disk from the 3.5" drive.
The CS3000 software is now installed and ready to use.
If you had an older version of the CS3000 software installed, you can use the
configuration and monitor files you created with that version. To make it easier to use
the existing configuration and monitor files, move them to the working directory of the
new version of software. The working directory is normally C:\CS3000\WORK.
Configuration files typically have file extensions of .CNF; monitor files typically have
.MON file extensions. See the Windows documentation for information about moving
files.
2.3 Setting Up Communication Between the CS3000

Software and the Drive
The following sections describe the setup required for communication between the
CS3000 software and the drive. To enable communication between the CS3000
software and the drive:
• Physically connect the personal computer to the drive through a serial port
connection (see section 2.3.1)
• Set up the drive for communication through a serial port (see section 2.3.2)
• Select the correct communication port on the personal computer (see section
2.3.3)
2.3.1 Connecting the Personal Computer’s Serial Port to the Drive
For the CS3000 software to communicate with the drive, connect the personal
computer to the drive using an appropriate cable by following these instructions:
Step 1. The drive’s RS-232 port typically uses a 9-pin or 25-pin female D-shell
connector. Connect the communication cable’s 9-pin or 25-pin male
connector to the drive. Refer to the drive instruction manual for the location of
the RS-232 port on the drive.
Step 2. Connect the other end of the communication cable to the personal
computer’s COM1 port. If the COM1 port is not available, refer to section
2.3.3 for information about selecting the correct communication port. The
personal computer COM port might have either a 25-pin or a 9-pin connector.

CHAPTER 3
Configuring the Drive
This chapter describes how to configure a drive.
3.1 Selecting a Drive

To create a configuration for a drive while the drive is not connected to the CS3000
software, you must choose a drive type. Communication with the drive is not
established, but you can open, save and edit configurations. You can also create
Parameter lists using the Parameter Monitor.
For information about establishing communication with a drive, see chapter 8.
To select a drive type, follow these steps:
Step 1. From the Drive menu, choose Select.
The Drive Select dialog box is displayed as shown in figure 3.1.
Figure 3.1 – Drive Select—Disconnected
Step 2. Select the drive type and software version as well as the model number and
any options (if supported by the drive). Your choice of a model number
determines the default values for U.xxx and H.xxx parameters.
Step 3. Click OK to select the drive type.
If you select a GV3000 (version 5.0 or later) or Liqui-Flo drive, the options box displays
the option selections. Selecting RMI results in the .r parameters being listed in the
Parameter Monitor and Configuration Editor. You must select the Power Module’s
model number as well.
You can establish communication with the drive by selecting Connect or by re-starting
the CS3000 software. See chapter 8 for more information.
Configuring the Drive 3-1

3.2 Creating a New Configuration
You can create a new drive configuration, which sets the parameter values to their
defaults. You assign a name to the configuration file when you save it. See section 3.6
for information about saving configurations.
To create a new configuration:
• From the File menu, choose New, or click .
If a configuration file is already open and has been changed, a dialog box is displayed
that asks if you want to save the current configuration file. If you select Yes, the Save
As dialog box is displayed before the new configuration file is opened.
When you create a new GV3000 or Liqui-Flo configuration, the File New dialog box
(figure 3.2) is displayed. This lets you select the Vector or Volts/Hertz control
(regulation) type and USA, Japan, or Europe as the default type.
After making your selections, select OK to open the new configuration file.
Figure 3.2 – File New Window
When you select the control type, parameters that depend on the control type are
changed to their defaults. The control type determines which parameters are
displayed. See the appropriate drive instruction manual for more information about the
control and default type options.

3.3 Opening a Drive Configuration File
Opening a drive configuration file loads the file from the personal computer to the
CS3000 software. Once the configuration file is opened, you can download it to the
drive.
To open a configuration file:
Step 1. From the File menu, choose Open or click .

Step 2. If you already have a configuration file open and have made edits to it that
have not been saved, you are prompted to save the changes. Make the
appropriate selection. See section 3.6 for more information about saving
configuration files.
The Open Configuration File dialog box is displayed. An example is shown in

figure 3.3.
Figure 3.3 – Open Configuration File Dialog Box
Step 3. The Open Configuration File dialog box defaults to the work directory of the
CS3000 software, which was specified during installation. If this is not the
correct directory, select the directory where the file is stored.
Step 4. Select the name of the file you want to open. The name of the file should be
copied in the File Name box. If not, click on it again.
If the configuration file you want does not have the .CNF extension, it does
not show up automatically in the box under File Name. In this case, select *.*
in the List Files of Type box to display all of the available files in the File Name
list.
Step 5. Open the file by selecting OK. The name of the file you selected now appears
in the Opened Configuration field of the main window.
To close the dialog box without selecting a file, select Cancel.

If the configuration file was: Then:

configuration file for a different version of the same drive.

3.4 Opening a Configuration File for a Different Version
of the Same Drive
Configuration files include version information about the drive. When you open a
configuration file, the CS3000 software compares the configuration file’s drive version
to the version of the selected drive. If the versions are different, a message box alerts
you of the difference.
.
To: Do the following: Then:
not open the file Choose No. The software returns to the main window without
opening the file.
to copy the configuration file Choose Yes. A copy of the original configuration file is created.
to the CS3000 software Then the CS3000 software checks for differences
between the parameters in the copy and the
parameters in the currently selected drive.
If no parameter differences are found, the CS3000

main window is displayed and the opened
configuration is named “UNTITLED.” The original
configuration file is not changed. To save the new
configuration, see section 3.6.
If parameter differences are found, the CS3000

software replaces the parameters in the copied
configuration to match the parameters of the
currently selected drive version. The Configuration
Changes dialog box is displayed, which shows you
what changes were made. This dialog box cannot
be edited.

When parameter difference are found, the CS3000 software makes the following
changes to parameters in the configuration file:
If the: Then:
selected drive is a later version than the drive • Parameters are added if they did not exist in the earlier
for which the configuration file was created drive. These parameters are set to default values.
• Parameters that existed in the earlier file might be set
to defaults if some of the options for the parameter did
not exist in the earlier drive version.
selected drive is an earlier version than the • Parameters are deleted if they do not exist in the
configuration file earlier drive version.

Important: If you change a drive’s control type parameter (for example, vector or
volts/hertz for GV3000 drives), a message is displayed notifying you that
changing the control type will reset parameters to their default values and
prompting you to continue. If you select Yes to continue, the parameter list
is changed to show only parameters that are relevant for the new control
type, and parameters in the Editor are set to defaults. These changes only
affect the configuration in the Editor.
Selecting OK in the Parameter Assignment dialog box sets the selected parameter
value and exits the dialog box. Cancel ignores any changes and exits the dialog box.
3.5.2 Ending an Editing Session
When you have finished editing parameters, select OK from the Configuration Editor
to write the values of the edited parameters into the opened configuration. You should
then use the Save command from the File menu to save the edited configuration file to
disk.

This chapter describes how to upload, download, and compare drive configurations.
4.1 Uploading a Drive Configuration

You can upload the drive configuration from the connected drive to the personal
computer.
To upload a configuration:
Step 1. Make sure the personal computer is connected to the drive. Refer to sections
2.3 and 3.1 if you need instructions for connecting the personal computer to a
drive.
Step 2. From the Config menu, choose Upload or click .

Step 3. If a drive configuration is already opened, you are prompted to save that
configuration to a file. The open configuration (if any) is replaced by the
uploaded drive configuration.
After uploading the drive configuration, the open configuration is displayed as

“UNTITLED.”
Uploading and Downloading Drive Configurations 4-1

4.2 Downloading a Configuration to the Drive
You can copy the opened configuration currently in the CS3000 software to the
connected drive.
ATTENTION: The download command replaces the parameter values in

the drive with the parameter values from the open configuration. Only
! qualified personnel should develop and download drive configurations.
Read and understand the drive instruction manual in its entirety before
downloading a configuration. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
Important: If FlexPak 3000 parameter changes are disabled by the drive’s Program
Protection jumper (J16), you cannot write parameters to the drive.
To download an opened configuration to the connected drive, follow these steps:
drive.
Step 2. Make sure the drive is stopped before downloading a configuration to the
drive.
Step 3. From the Config menu, choose Download, or click .
Step 4. If the downloaded configuration contains parameter values that are out of
range for the drive, the software on the drive modifies these parameter
values to bring them within allowed ranges. If this occurs, a Download
Configuration Changed dialog box is displayed. This dialog box displays the
differences between the downloaded configuration and the configuration
currently in the drive. The software prompts you to specify if the changes
made in the drive should also be made to the configuration in the CS3000
software. To update the opened configuration, select Yes. To not update the
configuration, select No.

4.3 Comparing the Drive Configuration to the Opened
Configuration
You can compare all of the parameter values in the opened configuration with the
parameter values in the drive. For drives with more than one control type (for example,
volts/hertz and vector), only parameters that are relevant to the selected control type
are compared.
To compare the parameters in an open configuration with those on the drive, follow
these steps:

CHAPTER 5
Tuning GV3000 and Liqui-Flo
Vector Drives
Important: The drive tuning functions are available only for GV3000 and Liqui-Flo
drives using vector regulation. If you have a GV3000 or Liqui-Flo drive
using volts/hertz regulation, or a FlexPak 3000 drive, you cannot use
these functions.
The drive tuning functions aid in the setup of drive tuning parameters. You should set
up the drive (except the drive tuning parameters) before performing drive tuning. You
should also save your drive configuration before tuning the drive. The drive must be
connected to the motor to perform some of these functions and the motor nameplate
information must be entered correctly.
These functions are selected under Drive|Tuning in the CS3000 main menu. If the
drive tuning functions are not supported for the selected drive, the menu item is
grayed.
When Drive|Tuning is selected from the CS3000 main menu, the menu appears as
follows:
Figure 5.1 – Drive Tuning Menu
Section 5.1 describes saving the drive configuration. Sections 5.2 and 5.3 describe
how to perform Standard tuning and Custom tuning for GV3000 and Liqui-Flo vector
drives.
Tuning GV3000 and Liqui-Flo Vector Drives 5-1

5.1 Saving the Drive Configuration Before Tuning
Some of the tuning tests temporarily modify drive parameters in order to run the test. If
the test completes normally, the drive tuning procedure restores the values of these
parameters. If power is lost, or if communication between the personal computer and
the drive is lost, the original parameter settings in the drive could be lost. Before
beginning the Standard tuning or Custom tuning procedures, you are prompted to
upload the drive configuration (the same as described in section 4.1) and save it in a
file (the same as described in section 3.7). If needed, this saved configuration can be
downloaded to the drive to restore its configuration.
5.2 Using Standard Tuning

Standard tuning is designed for applications with normal performance requirements.
The tuning process is largely automatic. You will be presented a series of simple
dialog boxes or message boxes that explain each step, and will be prompted to verify
and accept the system-generated values.
ATTENTION: This equipment is at line voltage when AC power is

connected. Disconnect and lockout all ungrounded conductors of the AC
! power line before working on the unit. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
When Standard is selected, the Motor Data dialog box will be displayed as shown in
figure 5.2. The values displayed are read from the drive.
The steps below appear in the order that the dialog boxes appear.
Important: Before beginning this procedure, make sure that the motor is connected
to the drive and, if possible, disconnected from the load.
Figure 5.2 – Example of Motor Data Dialog Box

ATTENTION: The setting of parameters U.001 (Encoder PPR), U.002
(Motor Poles), U.003 (Motor Nameplate Base Frequency), U.005 (Motor
! Nameplate RPM), and U.017 (Motor Top Speed) determines the motor
maximum speed. These parameters must be set by a qualified person
who understands the significance of setting them accurately. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.
Step 1. Verify Motor Data - The motor nameplate data parameter values are
displayed.
a. Enter new values as needed. Press Assign to write the values to the drive.
b. Press Continue when all values are correct.
Step 2. Measure Magnetizing Current - A message box with the magnetizing
current value is displayed.
a. Click No to use the displayed value (and skip to step 3) or click Yes to
measure the magnetizing current. If measure magnetizing current is
selected, the following message is displayed:
“The load must be uncoupled from the motor shaft to run this test. If the
load is not uncoupled, the test results may be incorrect. Select OK when
you are ready to run the test or Cancel to quit.”
b. Lock out and tag all power to the drive and its load.
c. Disconnect the load from the motor shaft.
d. Remove the lockout and reapply power to the drive.
e. Click OK. The following message is displayed:
“Warning:
When OK is selected, the motor will accelerate gradually to 90% of base
speed. The acceleration and deceleration times will be about 30 seconds.
Select OK to begin the test or Cancel to quit.”
f. Click OK to start the motor, accelerate to 90% of base speed, and
measure the magnetizing current.
g. When the measurement is complete, click OK to continue. (Note that, if the
self-tune fails, a message box containing an error message is displayed.)
Step 3. Calculate Torque and Flux gains - Torque and flux current gains are
calculated (using the magnetizing current value and motor nameplate data)
and are displayed.
Click Yes to write the displayed values to the drive, or click No if you do not
want the calculated torque and flux gains written to the drive.
Step 4. Measure Inertia - The following message is displayed:
“The load must be coupled to the motor shaft before running this test. If the
load is not coupled, the test results will be incorrect. Select OK when you are
ready to begin this test or Cancel to quit.”
a. Lock out and tag all power to the drive and its load.
b. Connect the load to the motor.

c. Remove the lockout and reapply power to the drive.
d. Click OK. The following message is displayed:
“Warning:
This test will set Current Limit (P.005) to the Magnetizing Current (U.006)
plus 20%. The motor will be run at 10% of synchronous speed for several
seconds and then step to 95% of synchronous speed. Select OK to begin
the test or select Cancel to quit.”
e. Click OK to start the motor and accelerate to 95% of synchronous speed.
f. The drive will run the motor and driven machinery to measure inertia.
g. When the measurement is complete, click OK to continue.
Step 5. Calculate Speed Loop Gains - The proportional and integral gains are
calculated using default values.
Click Yes to write the displayed values to the drive (U.012 and U.013), or click
No to leave the values in the drive unchanged.
This completes the Standard tuning process.

5.3 Using Custom Tuning
Custom tuning opens a drive tuning dialog box with more advanced tuning features. It
is intended for applications requiring a high degree of performance.
ATTENTION: This equipment is at line voltage when AC power is

connected. Disconnect and lockout all ungrounded conductors of the AC
! power line before working on the unit. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
The custom drive tuning dialog box consists of four areas. You can move from area to
area by clicking the appropriate radio button. The areas are:
• Motor data
• Torque/Flux
• Speed Loop
• Profile
Important: Before beginning this procedure, make sure that the motor is connected
to the drive and, if possible, disconnected from the load.
5.3.1 Setting Motor Data
Motor nameplate data can be viewed or changed. When you select Motor Data, the
Drive Tuning dialog box is displayed with motor data values read from the drive.
Figure 5.3 provides an example of the Motor Data dialog box.
Figure 5.3 – Example of Setting Motor Data Values

ATTENTION: The setting of parameters U.001 (Encoder PPR), U.002
(Motor Poles), U.003 (Motor Nameplate Base Frequency), U.005 (Motor
! Nameplate RPM), and U.017 (Motor Top Speed) determines the motor
maximum speed. These parameters must be set by a qualified person
who understands the significance of setting them accurately. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.
Use the following procedure to set the motor nameplate values.

Step 1. Click a parameter value and enter a new value to change the value of any of
the displayed parameters.
Step 2. Click Assign to write the motor data values to the drive.
5.3.2 Tuning the Torque/Flux Loop
The torque/flux loop is tuned by using the motor nameplate data, the magnetizing
current value in U.006, and calculating the values for U.014, U. 015, U.019, and U.020
using the torque response, flux response, and overshoot damping values.
When you select Torque/Flux, the Drive Tuning dialog appears with torque/flux loop
data values read from the drive. Figure 5.4 provides an example of the Torque/Flux
Loop dialog box.
Figure 5.4 – Example of Setting Torque/Flux Loop Data Values

Use the following procedure to tune the Torque/Flux Loop.
Step 1. If the magnetizing current is known, enter the value for U.006 (Magnetizing
Current), or accept the displayed value. Continue to step 2.
or
a. Click Start Self-Tune. The following message is displayed:
“The load must be uncoupled from the motor shaft to run this test. If the
load is not uncoupled, the test results may be incorrect. Select OK when
you are ready to run the test or Cancel to quit.”
c. Disconnect the load from the motor shaft.
“Warning:
When OK is selected, the motor will accelerate gradually to 90% of base
speed. The acceleration and deceleration times will be about 30 seconds.
Select OK to begin the test or Cancel to quit.”
f. Click OK to start self-tune.
The drive is run with Torque Self-Tune Enabled (U.008) to establish the value
for the Magnetizing Current (U.006). The display will indicate that self-tune is
in progress and that the drive is running.
If an error occurs, Torque Self-Tune Result (U.009) is read and an
appropriate error message is displayed.
Step 2. Enter values for torque response, flux response and overshoot damping, or
accept the displayed default values.
Torque response is the torque crossover frequency.
Flux response is the flux crossover frequency.
Overshoot damping is a value from 20 to 100, where 20 is the least amount
of damping and yields the greatest overshoot to a step in reference, and 100
is the highest amount of damping and yields the least overshoot.
Step 3. Click Calculate Gains.
If any of these values is out of range, the valid range is displayed and the
cursor appears on the field containing the error.
The entered response values, the overshoot damping value, and motor data
are used to calculate U.014, U.015, U.019 and U.020.
The values for U.014, U.015, U.019 and U.020 will be displayed.
Step 4. Click Assign to write the torque/flux loop data to the drive.
5.3.3 Tuning the Speed Loop
The speed loop is tuned by adjusting the speed loop proportional and integral gains
(U.012 and U.013). Speed loop tuning is a function of the inertia and desired
bandwidth. The inertia of the motor and connected load can be set manually if known.
When you select Speed, the Drive Tuning dialog box appears as shown in figure 5.5.

Figure 5.5 – Example of Setting Speed Loop Data Values
Use the following procedure to tune the Speed Loop.

percentage, inertia, horsepower, rated RPM, and top RPM.
You can also manually modify U.012 and/or U.013 by clicking on either
parameter and then entering a new value.
Step 4. Click Assign to write the speed loop data to the drive.
5.3.4 Using the Profile Feature To Check Drive Tuning
You can use the speed profile generator to facilitate tuning verification and adjustment
of drive tuning. Once started, the speed profile generator will alternate between two
speed setpoints. You can specify the speed setpoints, acceleration time, deceleration
time, and duration at each setpoint. The speed versus time diagram in the profile
dialog box, as shown in figure 5.6, indicates how the six profile variables are applied.
After starting the profile, the PC Scope feature can be used to monitor torque and/or
speed response to verify or fine-tune the response as desired.
When you select Profile, the Drive Tuning dialog box appears as shown in figure 5.6.
Figure 5.6 – Drive Profile Example
Use the following procedure to check drive tuning.

Step 1. Verify that the load is connected to the motor shaft.
Step 2. Enter values for Speed 1 and 2, Time 1 and 2, Accel and Decel.

Step 3. Click Start Profile. The following message is displayed:
“Profile will run the motor alternating between xxx RPM for x.x sec and
xxx RPM for x.x sec. Acceleration time is x.x sec, deceleration time is x.x sec.
Select OK to run the motor using this profile, or Cancel to quit.”
Step 4. Click Ok to start the profile.
The drive will cycle between Speed 1 and Speed 2, staying at each speed for
the amount of time entered for Time 1 and Time 2. You can monitor results in
PC Scope (see chapter 9).
Step 5. Click Stop/Reset to stop the drive and the profile.
Some drive parameters (accel/decel) may be modified automatically in order
to run the profile. These values will be saved prior to being modified by this
function and the original values will be restored when Stop/Reset is selected.
This completes the Custom tuning process.

Using PC Scope
This section describes how to use the PC Scope.
9.1 About PC Scope

Use PC Scope to plot drive signals. PC Scope displays the plotted values as a trace.
The type of signals you can acquire depends upon the drive you have connected.
With PC Scope, you can:
• acquire traces of up to two signals at a time

• capture a trace and save it as a snapshot, which you can then compare to a newly
acquired trace
• define a trigger for the traces and specify how much data is gathered and
displayed before the trigger condition
• define a data sampling rate and the number of samples to capture for a given
trace
• define a color for each to help you discern traces and trace snapshots

Figure 9.3 – Sample Trace
9.4 Working with the Cursors

Cursors help you read the value at a specific point on a trace waveform to help you
tune and troubleshoot the drive. PC Scope has two cursor types:
• Y cursors are positioned on a vertical value on the display

• T cursors are positioned on a horizontal or time value
You can read actual data points where the waveform crosses the T cursors. These
values are labeled as@T1 and @T2. Because these are actual data points, you can
use them for calculations. The Y cursor values are based on the scale of the trace
display, so the value is determined by the display resolution and are not as accurate
as the actual data points displayed as the @T1 and @T2 values.

9.4.1 Moving a Cursor
You can select a cursor by:

• clicking on the cursor label with the mouse
• using the Cursor menu
• using the [Tab] key
Move the cursors by:

• using the up, down, right, and left arrow keys or Shift + arrow key
• clicking on the label with the mouse and dragging the cursor
9.4.2 Specifying the Cursors To Track Each Other
You set the cursors to track together when you move them. This way the cursors can
move left and right and up and down while maintaining the same distance between T1
and T2 or Y1 and Y2.
To set the T and Y cursors so they track together:
• From the Cursor menu, choose Track or click .
Turning track off lets you move the T cursors independently from each other and the Y
cursors independently from each other. Cursor tracking can be turned on and off by
toggling the menu selection or toolbar button.
9.5 Changing Views

You can turn the cursors on and off and magnify the trace display as described in the
following sections.
9.5.1 Turning Cursors On and Off
You can choose to show or not the show the cursors on the trace display.
To turn cursors on or off:
• From the View menu, choose Cursors or click .
You cannot use the Zoom feature if the cursors are off.
Using PC Scope 9-9

9.5.2 Magnifying the Trace Display
You can magnify the area of the trace display that is bounded by the cursors.
To magnify the display:
• From the View menu, choose Zoom In or click .
To return the display back to the normal view:
• From the View menu, choose Zoom X1 or click .
If you selected the Auto Scale option in the Trace Setup dialog box the PC Scope
scales ten vertical axis to even values. This may result in no change when you zoom
into the trace.
9.6 Taking a Trace Snapshot

You can compare one trace with another by saving trace data and displaying it as a
background for the next trace. This saved trace data is called a snapshot. You can
take a snapshot of either trace A or B or both. Also, you can choose a color to use for
displaying trace snapshots (see section 9.6.2).
9.6.1 Taking a Snapshot
To save a trace and have it displayed as the background for subsequent traces, do the
following:
From the Snapshot

To: menu, choose: Description:
save the current Trace A as a Trace A This trace appears as the background
snapshot for the next Trace A.
save the current Trace B as a Trace B This trace appears as the background
snapshot for the next Trace B.
save both Trace A and Trace Trace A & B The traces appear in the background
B as snapshots for the next traces.
clear the snapshots Clear The snapshot traces are removed

from the background.

9.6.2 Choosing the Trace Snapshot Colors
You can choose the color that is used to display the snapshots of Trace A or Trace B.
Keep in mind that the trace display window is displayed using the Windows menu
background color, so be careful not to display trace snapshots in the same color, or
the trace will not show up.
To choose a color for a trace snapshot, follow these steps:
Step 1. From the Options menu, choose SnapA Color or SnapB Color.
The color selection dialog box is displayed.
Step 2. Select a standard color or create a custom color and click OK.
Traces can be displayed only in solid colors. If you choose a mixed color, the nearest
solid color is used.
9.7 Saving a Trace File

You can save a trace as either a trace file (.TRC) or an ASCII file (.TRA). Saving a
trace as an ASCII file lets you import the data into another program such as a
spreadsheet program.
Use the Save As command to save the file with a new name. To save a trace file,
follow these steps:
Step 1. From the File menu, choose Save or Save As.
The Save a Signal Trace File dialog box is displayed.
Figure 9.4 – Save a Signal Trace File Dialog Box
Step 2. In the file name field, type the name for the file.
Using PC Scope 9-11

Step 3. From the Save file as type list box, choose whether you want to save the file
as a Trace file (.TRC) or as an ASCII file (.TRA).
Step 4. From the Drives list box, specify the location where you want to save the file.
Step 5. Click OK to save the file.
9.8 Clearing the Trace Display and Setup

You can clear the trace display and setup. To do this:
• From the File menu, choose New or click .
Creating a new trace file deletes any acquired trace data and clears the trace
display.
9.9 Opening a Trace File

You can open a previously saved trace file. To do this, follow these steps:
Step 1. From the File menu, select Open or click .
If you already have a configuration file open and made edits to it that have
not been saved, the software prompts you to save the changes. Make the
appropriate selection. See section 8.7 for more information about saving
configuration files.
The Open Signal Trace File dialog box is displayed. An example is shown in
figure 9.5.
Figure 9.5 – Open Signal Trace File Dialog Box
Step 2. The Open Signal Trace File dialog box defaults to the working directory of the
CS3000 software, which was specified during installation. If this is not the
correct directory, select the directory where the file is stored.

Step 3. Select the name of the file you want to open by double-clicking on it with the
mouse. The name of the file should be copied in the File Name box. If not,
click on it again.
Step 4. Select OK to open the file. To close the dialog box without selecting a file,
select Cancel.
The trace file is opened.
9.10 Closing PC Scope

Close PC Scope by choosing Close from the File menu.
