Programming Your Application

Programming with Block Diagrams
We reccomend that you use a suitable programming tool (such as "DSELite" which is Parker SSD Drives' block programming software) to program
the Drive for specific applications. It is however possible to use the Keypad.
NOTE
The Menus on the MMI contain parameters that don't necessarily reside in similarly-named function blocks in our Configuration Tool. To
locate the function block for a parameter when using the MMI, hold the "M" key down when editing the parameter. This will display the Tag
number. You can find the details for every Tag in this Appendix: Parameter Specification Tables. Alternatively, the Parameter Table in
Appendix C: "Parameter Specifications" provides a quick reference from the MMI list to the associated function block.
The Drive is supplied with a basic set-up which can be used as a starting point for application-specific programming. This programming could simply
involve the inputting of parameter values, or it may require the making or breaking of programmable links, which is a feature of this unit.
Block diagram programming provides a visual method of planning the software to suit your application. The basic block diagram is provided at the end
of this Appendix and shows the software connections consisting of function blocks and links:
•
Each function block contains the parameters required for setting-up a particular processing feature. Sometimes more than one function block is
provided for a feature, i.e. for multiple digital inputs.
•
Software links are used to connect the function blocks. Each link transfers the value of an output parameter to an input parameter of another (or
the same) function block.
Each individual block is a processing feature: it takes the input parameter, processes the information, and makes the result available as one or more
output parameters.
Modifying a Block Diagram
Operating and Configuration Modes
There are two modes of operation used while modifying a block diagram: Operating and Configuration modes.
The CONFIGURE ENABLE command is used to toggle between these two modes of operation.
Operating Mode (CONFIGURE ENABLE = DISABLED)
In Operating mode you can change parameter values. The Drive can be running or stopped. Note that some parameters can only be changed
when the Drive is stopped. It is not possible to modify the internal links when the Drive is in Operating mode.
Configuration Mode (CONFIGURE ENABLE = ENABLED)
In the configuration mode you can modify connections between the function blocks in the drive. You can also change parameter values, as
above. The Drive cannot run in this mode. Output values are not updated.
