1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
IMPULSE•Link 5 (IL5) is a Windows
®
based software package to assist users in the setup and maintenance of
Magnetek AC and DC drives. The software is available for free in a read-only mode called “Viewer.”. Advanced
features can be unlocked in the Professional version by purchasing a USB software licensing dongle.
The free Viewer version of IMPULSE•Link 5 interacts with the DataLogger Series 4 (DLS4) keypad.
Through a USB connection from a DLS4 to a host computer, a user can:
• View stored drive parameters
• See Run, Alarm, and Fault history
• View recorded trend data
• Open IL4.1 and IL5 Parameter files of type .par and .parx
The Professional version offers the above and much more:
• Find drives over wireless, industrial communications (such as Ethernet), and hardwired serial COM ports
• Read and write drive parameters
• Monitor real-time Run status, Alarms, and Faults on multiple drives at the same time
The Professional version retains the Communication Profiles of each discovered drive, allowing users to easily
read and write to drives.
