How to connect the drive composer

To establish a connection between the Drive composer and the drive you need to
meet the following requirements:
• Computer with drive composer installed
• Assistant control panel or Dummy panel
• Mini USB cable (assistant control panel) or BCBL-01 cable (dummy panel)
Communication Connection
• Use BCBL-01 cable to connect the drive with a dummy panel. Connect BCBL-01
cable to the RJ 45 port of the panel and the other end to the USB port of your
computer. You can order the BCBL-01 with the order ID 3AXD50000032449.
• Use a mini USB cable to connect the drive with an assistant panel.
• Use Ethernet-based fieldbus adapter modules for PC tool communication (one-
wire solution, Profinet, Ethernet IP) (pro) or a drive-embedded Ethernet port
• Use an OPC-based commissioning and maintenance tool (pro).
Both versions include a demo that allows testing user interface functionality, edit
parameter files offline (pro) or open and analyze saved monitored files without
connecting to a physical drive.
