6.5 ISD Toolbox

6.5.1 Overview

The ISD Toolbox is a standalone PC software designed by
Danfoss. It is used for parameterization and diagnostics of
the servo drives and the SAB. It is also possible to operate
the devices in a non-productive environment. The ISD
Toolbox contains several functionalities, called sub-tools,
which in turn provide various functionalities.
The most important sub-tools are:
•
Scope for visualization of the tracing functionality
of the servo drives and SAB.
6 6
•
Parameter list for reading/writing parameters.
•
Firmware update
•
Drive control/SAB control to operate the servo
drives and/or SAB for testing purposes.
•
CAM editor for designing CAM profiles for the
servo drives.
The detailed description of the ISD Toolbox functionality
and the full list of parameters can be found in the VLT
Integrated Servo Drive ISD

6.5.2 System Requirements

To install the ISD Toolbox software, the PC must meet the
following requirements:
•
Supported hardware platforms: 32-bit, 64-bit.
•
Supported operating systems: Windows XP
Service Pack 3, Windows 7, Windows 8.1.
•
.NET framework version: 3.5 Service Pack 1.
•
Minimum hardware requirements: 512 MB RAM,
Intel Pentium 4 with 2.6 GHz or equivalent, 20 MB
hard disk space.
•
Recommended hardware requirements: Minimum
1 GB RAM, Intel Core i5/i7 or compatible.

6.5.3 Installation

Administrator rights are required for installing the software
with the Windows operating system. Contact your adminis-
trator if necessary.
1. Check that your system meets the system
requirements as described in chapter 6.5.2 System
Requirements.
2. Download the ISD Toolbox installation file (http://
vlt-drives.danfoss.com/products/engineering-
software/software-download/).
3. Right-click on the .exe file and select Run as
administrator.

installation process.

6.5.4 ISD Toolbox Communication

This chapter describes the Ethernet specific network
interface settings needed by the ISD Toolbox. There are 2
basic communication methods: direct communication and
indirect communication. Their particular network settings
are described in the respective sections.
Read and perform the steps with care - incorrect network
configurations can lead to loss of connectivity of a network
interface.
Firewall
Depending on the firewall settings and the fieldbus used,
the messages sent and received by the ISD Toolbox may
be blocked by the firewall on the ISD Toolbox host system.
This may lead to a loss of communication and the inability
to communicate with the devices on the fieldbus.
Therefore, ensure that the ISD Toolbox is allowed to
communicate through the firewall on the ISD Toolbox host
system. Read and perform the steps with care - inappro-
® priate changes to firewall settings may lead to security
issues.
NOTICE
When using a dedicated network interface, the ISD
Toolbox should be allowed to communicate specifically
through this network interface.
Indirect communication
Communication between ISD 510 devices and the ISD
Toolbox through a PLC is called indirect communication.
Between the PLC and the ISD 510 devices there is
Ethernet-based fieldbus communication (marked A in
Illustration 6.19), whereas there is non-fieldbus communi-
cation between the PLC and the ISD Toolbox host system
(marked B in Illustration 6.19).
In the scenario in Illustration 6.19, the PLC has the master
function and uses cyclic communication with the devices.
Therefore, not all functionalities of the ISD Toolbox, for
example the drive control, can be used. The restrictions
when using indirect communication are detailed in the
