Debug Functionality

The Serial Debug function of the NXG control serves as a means for the user to connect to
an interactive menu that allows a user to capture VFD run-time data, including debug data
described in Section 5.15.2. This port does not permit any data to be downloaded to the
drive. It is provided as a means to extract human readable VFD status and logs from the
NXG Control.
The port is configured as a standard RS-232 serial interface where no hardware handshake
is required. The NXG control includes provisions to allow a serial modem to be connected so
that drive status can be remotely accessed via telephone. When a modem is connected, it
can be configured as an auto-answer device, or the NXG control is capable of configuring
compatible modems to automatically answer.
Note
Any RS232 compatible device can be connected to this port. The only requirement is that the
user must initiate desired output data via single character inputs to the port.
● Diagnostic data available via this port includes:
● Parameter Dump
● Fault/Event/Historic Log
● Drive Status/Id
● Debug Functions (as defined in Section 5.15.2)
