■ PC software and serial communication
Danfoss offers various options for serial communica-
tion. Using serial communication, it is possible to
monitor, program and control one or several fre-
quency converters from a centrally located computer.
In addition, all FCD 300 units have an RS 485 port
as standard, thereby enabling communication e.g.
with a PC. For this purpose, a program called VLT
Software Dialog is available.
VLT Software Dialog comes in three modules, as a
minimum containing the programs of the Basic mod-
ule.
The Basic module covers:
TEST RUN used for controlling and running in a fre-
quency converter, including
- Setting of reference value.
- simultaneous showing of selected parameters in
the form of graphs.
- option of DDE link, e.g. to spreadsheet.
PARAMETER SETUP is used for setting up and
transmitting parameter sets, including:
- setting of frequency converter parameters.
- parameter sets can be collected from and copied
to a frequency converter.
- documentation / setup print incl. charts.
HISTORY where the different development stages of
VLT Software dialog can be studied.
BUS ADDRESS SETUP is used for addressing FCD
300.
The logging module covers:
LOGGING is used for collecting and displaying his-
torical or real-time operating data.
- presentation of selected parameters from several
frequency converters in the form of graphs.
- collection of log data for file.
- option of DDE link, e.g. to spreadsheet.
MODEM SETUP is used to set up the frequency con-
verter’s modem. The module sets up the frequency
converter’s modem via the PC’s communication port.
The template module covers:
TEMPLATE SETUP is used for setting up template
files for PARAMETER SETUP.
- the template file acts as a screen that limits the
number of accessible parameters when a param-
eter file is to be made or edited in PARAMETER
SETUP
- the template file may contain preset values for
the parameters of the frequency converter
NB!:
The Logging and Template modules call for
the Basic module to be installed on the same
PC.
