In the case of a Solutions Module, the parameters will appear in menu 15, 16 or 17 for
the drive depending on the slot the module is fitted into. In the case of embedded
solutions these will appear in menu 17. The menu is determined by the number before
the decimal point.
The method used to determine the menu or parameter is as follows:
•Pr xx.00 - signifies any menu and parameter number 00.
•Pr x.XX - where x signifies the the menu allocated to the Solutions Module (this
could be 15, 16 or 17) and XX signifies the parameter number.
2.4 PC Development Software
Application programs for the Second Processors may be developed by the user with the
SyPT software tools. Users who are familiar with the UD70 product for the Unidrive
Classic may already be familiar with this software.
SyPTPro offers various tools to help in developing solutions:
• Configuration editor for configuring drives and connections on CTNet, EtherNet, CT-
RTU, CT-TCP and MD29MON networks.
• IEC61131-3 based ladder and function block programming
• Native DPL language programming.
• Watch window for monitoring drive and option parameters, and program variables.
• Single-stepping and breakpoint debugging facilities.
With SyPTPro you may connect to the Second Processors by either:
• Direct connection to the EIA-RS485 port on the front of the Drive.
• Connecting to one or more options on a CTNet network (a CTNet interface card for
the PC will be required). See section Features on pages 8, 9 & 10 for availability of
CTNet on your Second Processor
• Ethernet.
SyPTPro runs under Microsoft Windows
TM
NT4/2000/XP.
2.5 User Knowledge
If developing custom application software it is beneficial to have some understanding of
real-time task and event driven programming. A rudimentary understanding of the
BASIC programming language is also beneficial but not essential. The ladder diagram
(LD) and function block diagram (FBD) facilities of SyPTPro make it much easier for
people familiar with PLCs to migrate.
This User Guide assumes the user has at least superficial knowledge of Microsoft
