Creating Text 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 text 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 (text)] or [New Subroutine (text)].
3
There are three ways to edit text program codes:
• Manual typing
• Calling the text command list (Ctrl  space)
• Dragging and dropping commands from Toolbox window
4
Set arguments of each command.
The required arguments are displayed with a green background for the commands that are
dragged and dropped from the Toolbox window and the commands selected from the text com-
mand list (Ctrl  space).
Set each argument to complete the command.
Each time you edit a command by manual typing, the popup support will appear to help you
complete the command. For details on each command, refer to Section 6 Drive Programming
Commands.
You need not care about unnecessary lines and spaces when creating a program because they
will be deleted by program compilation.
5
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.
