5.8.4 PC Tools for VACON NX / NCDrive
You can configure the drive parameters with the NCDrive. Option board parameters can be
configured with NCDrive too. The only exception is the PROFINET NameOfStation parameter.
However, it is recommended to use the NCIPConfig tool for option board's configuration in the
®
VACON NXS/P AC drives.
You need to have a PC with an Ethernet connection and the NCDrive tool installed. To install the
NCDrive, download it from http://drives.danfoss.com website. After starting the installation
program, follow the on-screen instructions.
Once the program is installed successfully, you can launch it by selecting it in the Windows Start
menu. Select Help --> Contents if you want more information about the software features.
Before using the NCDrive, you need to configure the option board IP settings with NCIPConfig. If the
option board does not have valid IP settings you will not be able to connect with the NCDrive.
Step 1. Connect your PC to the Ethernet network with an Ethernet cable.
You can also connect the PC directly to the device using a crossover cable. This option may be
needed if your PC does not support Automatic crossover function.
Step 2. In order to connect to the drive, you need to select the active drive first. Press the "Drive
Select" button (see Figure 25) to scan the network drives.
