Operation Modes - ABB ACSM1 Firmware Manual

Operation modes

The DriveSPC tool offers the following operation modes:
Off-line
When the off-line mode is used without a drive connection, the user can
• open a application program file (if exists).
• modify and save the application program.
• print the program pages.
When the off-line mode is used with a drive(s) connection, the user can
• connect the selected drive to DriveSPC.
• upload an application program from the connected drive (an empty template
which includes only the firmware blocks is available by default.)
• download the configured application program to the drive and start the program
execution. The downloaded program contains the function block program and the
parameter values set in DriveSPC.
• remove the program from the connected drive.
On-line
In the on-line mode, the user can
• modify firmware parameters (changes are stored directly to the drive memory)
• modify application program parameters (ie, parameters created in DriveSPC)
• monitor the actual values of all function blocks in real time.
