-based, user-friendly
ABB's DriveWindow is an advanced, easy-to-use tool
for the commissioning and maintenance of drive sys-
tems in different industries. Its host of features and
clear, graphical presentation of the operation make it a
valuable addition to your system providing informa-
tion necessary for troubleshooting, maintenance and
service, as wellas training.
DriveWindow is fully 32 bit and runs in the newer
Microsoft
®
Windows environments such as WIN NT
/ 2000 / XP.
With DriveWindow the user is able to follow the co-
operation of twoor more drives simultaneously by
collecting the actual values from the drives onto a single
screen or printout.
Additionally, the client part of DriveWindow may
reside on one Local Area Network PC, and the server
side on another PC closer to the drives. This enables
plant-wide monitoring to be easily accomplished with
two PCs.
