1. Overview The DataLogger Series 4 (DLS4) is designed to simplify troubleshooting by recording and presenting detailed operational histories that are necessary for cost-saving preventative maintenance and reducing downtime. The DataLogger Series 4 automatically records time-stamped Run, Alarm, and Fault histories for ®...
2. Recorded Data Types The recorded data is organized into three types: log data, trend data, and parameter data. Log data consists of run information, faults, and alarms. Trend data consists of monitor information in graph form. Parameter data consists of drive settings. 2.1 Log Data Overview The DLS4 automatically collects data without input from the user.
3. Event Data 3.1 When a Run Occurs When the DLS4 detects a run, it increments the run counter and begins to take average and peak values of the monitors being logged. It also logs how long the run remains active. When the run has ended, this information is written to the internal memory.
5. Parameter Data The DataLogger Series 4 can store parameter data from a drive. When a DLS4 is connected to a powered-on drive, it will automatically read the current parameters into Slot 0. This parameter set may be used to “undo” any changes made while troubleshooting an issue.
6.4 IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 3 For connection to an IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 3, remove the factory keypad. Use an RJ45 cable to connect the DLS4 to the drive. It’s recommended to mount the DLS4 to the control panel door. NOTE: IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 3 is NOT compatible with DLS4 firmware version A5650-5004.05 and above. 6.5 IMPULSE•G+ Mini For connection to an IMPULSE•G+ Mini, open the door on the drive’s front cover (located next to the...
7. Main Menu 7.1 IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 5 When the DataLogger is connected to an IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 5, the home screen displays various live monitors and information from the last fault. Also available are the four DataLogger function menus. The drive’s standard menu structure is not available, meaning parameter changes cannot be made.
7.1 IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 4 and DC Drives When the DataLogger is connected to an IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 4, the menu is structured the same as the standard keypad. It retains the existing functionality plus four additional DataLogger function menus. This also applies to the OmniPulse DDC Series 2 and MagnePulse DMC Series 2 DC drives.
7.2 IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 3 When the DataLogger is connected to an IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 3, the menu structure will remain the same as its normal keypad. Navigating to the DataLogger functions is executed by pressing the F2 key when the label above the F2 key shows “DLS4”.
7.3 IMPULSE•G+ Mini When the DataLogger is connected to an IMPULSE•G+ Mini, the menu structure will be simulated on the display, and it will function the same as using the integrated keypad. Navigating to the DataLogger functions is executed by pressing the F2 key when the label above the F2 key shows “DLS4”. Returning to the normal keypad menu is accomplished by pressing the F2 key when “Keypad”...

8. Event History Menu The Event History menu contains: Run, Fault, and Alarm History logs Counter of the stored Run, Fault, and Alarm events Filter settings for Faults and Alarms Option to clear the Run, Fault, and Alarm history logs ...
8.1 Run, Fault, and Alarm History The Run History menu contains information for each run command including the direction (forward or reverse). Various measurements are logged for the duration of the run. The Fault History menu contains information for each stored fault event. Various measurements are logged at the moment the fault occurs.
8.2 Counters This screen displays the total number of logged Run, Fault, and Alarm events stored in the DLS4 memory. 8.3 Clear History The Run, Fault, and Alarm history logs can be cleared with this option. With “Clear History” selected, press the ENTER key and a confirmation dialog will appear on the screen.
9. Trending Menu The Trending feature of the DataLogger Series 4 automatically logs real-time run information, such as current or torque changes over time. This trending data is viewable by connecting the DLS4 to a PC and opening the trending files in the IMPULSE•Link 5 software. A new trend data file is created every hour and is labeled by drive model and timestamp.
9.3 Trend in BB (Base Block) The “Trend in BB” option selects whether the DLS4 will log trending data when the drive is Base Blocked (not running). By default, this option is disabled. By enabling this option, the memory storage will fill up faster, causing old Trend data to be overwritten sooner.
10. Parameter Backup Menu The Parameter Backup menu allows the user to store (read) up to 11 parameter sets to the DataLogger Series 4, which can then be transferred (written) to any drive with the same firmware version, model, control method (Closed Loop Vector, Open Loop Vector, or V/f), and motion. If any of these four conditions is not met, a message will indicate which condition does not match.
10.2 Write Parameters The user may write any of the stored parameter sets to a drive with the same type, firmware version, model (KVA), control method (Closed Loop Vector, Open Loop Vector, or V/f), and motion (Traverse, Standard Hoist, etc.). If any of these conditions are not met, a message will be displayed to indicate which condition.
11. DataLogger Settings Menu The DataLogger Settings menu contains the options for setting the date and time, viewing the firmware version of the DLS4, setting the baud rate, testing the keypad buttons, and viewing various diagnostics screens that monitor the hardware components inside the DLS4 in real-time. Figure 13: DataLogger Settings Menu 11.1 Set Date/Time The month, day, year, hour, and minute can be adjusted individually in this menu.
11.2 Version (Firmware) Information The Version Info screen will display the firmware version of the DLS4. This screen will display for 3 seconds and then automatically return to the previous Setup menu screen. 11.3 Diagnostics The Diagnostics screen presents low-level status information and is mainly for troubleshooting the DLS4 hardware.
12. Panel-Mount Kit An accessory is available for mounting the DLS4 to a control panel door. This is useful for arc flash safety and accessibility convenience. The part number for the kit is DLS4-RMT-OPER-KIT. Contact Magnetek for more information. 13. Connecting to a PC The DLS4 has a micro-USB port on its bottom edge, which is used to connect to a PC via USB cable.
