Understanding Application Software Structure Principles

4.1
The basic design principle of the application software structure and the related hierarchy refers to the setup of a typical iC7 drive.
The same application software structure is reused across all products within the iC7 series. This means that some of the parameter
groups or dedicated parameters may not be visible for all applications. Therefore, the indexes of parameters may not be sequential.
This design principle is followed to maintain consistency across all the different application software in the iC7 series. The application
software is designed in this manner to have the same look and feel across different iC7 series products, and enable easier and faster
troubleshooting.

Parameter Groups and their Content

4.2
The detailed structure and hierarchy within the parameter groups can vary, depending on the purpose of the parameter group and
the total number of parameters. However, the design principle of the structure is to keep the overall sequence while commissioning or
setting up the drive, within a logical structure. One example is the Status parameter group which is embedded into each main group (if
applicable) to provide quick and easy access to view real time status information of relevant data of parameters within this group.
All generic settings such as Grid, Power Conversion and DC Link, Filters and Brake Chopper, and Motor are accessed via parameter
l
groups 1–4.
Most of the application-specific parameters and the configuration of external control signals are accessed via parameter group 5
l
Application.
Features and functions such as Maintenance and Service, Functional Safety, and Customization are accessed via parameter groups 6,
l
7, and 8.
The hardware setup for the I/O interface, Options, and communication interfaces is done via parameter groups 9 and 10.
l
The features and related parameters are grouped in individual parameter groups. Each feature has a parameter group of its own.
l
Status information for each parameter group is available separately for easy access.
l
The visibility of some parameters and parameter groups depends on the hardware used in the drive.
