Drive programming using PC tools

What this chapter contains

This chapter introduces the drive programming using the DriveStudio and DriveSPC
applications. For more information, see DriveStudio User Manual [3AFE68749026
(English)] and DriveSPC User Manual [3AFE68836590 (English)].

General

The drive control program is divided into two parts:
• firmware program
• application program.
The firmware program performs the main control functions, including speed and
torque control, drive logic (start/stop), I/O, feedback, communication and protection
functions. Firmware functions are configured and programmed with parameters. The
functions of the firmware program can be extended with application programming.
Application programs are built out of function blocks.
The drive supports two different programming methods:
• parameter programming
• application programming with function blocks (the blocks are based on the
IEC-61131 standard).
