User Guide Electrical Line Shaft for ADV200 Page 5 of 72
1 Introduction
This manual contains all the information necessary for the design, wiring and configuration of a system based
on the ELS2 Electrical Line Shaft application for the ADV200.
Chapter 2 – “General description” contains information on system characteristics and functions.
1.1 Compatibility Application version / Drive firmware
1_4_38_0
7.2.7 and higher
1.2 Installation
To install the application you must have a PC, version 1.6.5 or higher of the Gefran GF eXpress software with
Catalog, the drive RS485 - PCI COM connection kit and the Electrical Line Shaft Application 2 file.
The appliction file (APL-ADV200-ELS-fw…-r...exe), is downloadable from the Gefran website at the path:
https://www.gefran.com/en/products/250-adv200-field-oriented-vector-inverter#downloads
on APPLICATION
SOFTWARE section.
The application set-up contains an automatic procedure that copies the required files in the specific folders of
the GF Express catalog.
Note! Before running the application installation setup, close any open GF_eXpress sessions.
Through GF Express is possible to use "Download firmware" command on the toolbar.
This command will open a drop-down menu where all the downloadable applications compatible with the
drive fw are listed.
By choosing the desired application, the window "Download firmware" will open with the field: "File to
download" and the indication of all the applications that are compatible with the drive used.
If you have not installed applications (only the PID is installed by default as application 1) Download
Firmware window will be empty. The user will need to manually select the file ". Fl2" to download.
1.3 Preliminary operations
• Check the connections, paying particular attention to shielding (see standard wiring diagrams) in
order to reduce interference to a minimum, especially on encoders.
• Set the IPA 558 Application Select parameter to the application where you wish to load the
“Electrical Line Shaft” application (Application 1 or Application 2).
• If the Electrical Line Shaft Application 2 application firmware is not already installed, download it
using the GF-Express "Download firmware" utility.
• Files called "filename___A1fl2" enable the firmware to be downloaded to Application 1, files named
“filename___A2.fl2” enable the firmware to be downloaded to Application 2.
Note! the ADV200 drive is supplied with the PID application installed in Application 1; to avoid overwriting this
application, we recommend downloading the firmware to Application 2.
• Send a "Save parameter" command.
• Send a "Drive reset" command.
• Open the drive parameters file containing the application parameters (ELS2.gfe).
• Send the “Load default drive values” command from the configurator Parameters menu to load the
default parameters.
• First send a “Save parameter into target” command, then “Drive reset”.
