LMV Series
Section 9-1: ACS450 Introduction
The LMV5 system can be completely programmed using either the AZL5 or a PC with the
ACS450 software. Most people find that using the AZL5 is more convenient than the ACS450 for
a "manual" setup of the LMV5 parameters. However, the ACS450 has additional capabilities
that are not available with the AZL5 / LMV5 alone. These additional, valuable capabilities are:
1. Saving and printing all LMV5 settings, combustion curves, and information in a report
format. This provides a convenient, comprehensive startup report.
2. Saving and uploading entire LMV5 parameter sets to or from a PC.
3. Updating AZL5 software.
4. Viewing and saving trends (particularly useful for tuning PID loops).
5. Viewing a "dashboard" of the LMV5 inputs and outputs as well as the LMV5 operating state.
Sections 9-2 through 9-4 will cover the software installation, communication setup, and AZL5
software updates. Sections 9-5 through 9-8 will explain how to utilize the basic capabilities of
the ACS450 software, including startup reports, parameter sets, trending, and the "dashboard".
Since most people prefer to use the AZL5 to set parameters and combustions curves in the
LMV5, the procedure to do this with ACS450 will not be covered in this guide. For technical
information about how to program the LMV5 through the ACS450 software, email
