Creating Flowchart Programs

When you create a Drive Programming program, you can select flowchart or text for each task or subrou-
tine.
Follow the steps described below to create a flowchart program.
1
Open the Drive Programming Editor.
The Drive Programming auxiliary windows (Toolbox, Block Parameters, Properties and Error
List tab) are displayed automatically.
2
From [New Tab] in the toolbar, select [New Task (flowchart)] or [New Subroutine (flowchart)].
3
Select commands from the Toolbox window and move them to the Drive Programming Editor by
drag-and-drop.
On the upper left of each block placed on the Editor, the block number will appear after the com-
pilation is finished.
Block numbers are the consecutive numbers starting with "0". A block number is given to each
block of the whole program.
Block numbers do not match the line numbers of the program converted to text.
4
Click the block to edit its properties.
In the Properties window, edit arguments that are associated with the block.
5
Connect the blocks according to the program sequence.
You can connect a block with another by dragging from one's orange-colored contact to
another's green-colored contact.
6
Edit user parameters in the Block Parameters window.
7
Perform operations such as program compilation, transferring to the inverter, and data saving.
Execute compilation and check for any compilation errors in the program.
You can transfer the program to the inverter when the compilation is finished successfully.
To save the program, save the whole project. Or, you can save the program separately by using
the function that exports programs.
