4. Connecting the Parameter writer

This section describes the various ways of connecting the Parameter writer.

Default language is set to English. Refer to section 6.9 and change the language setting, according to need.

There are two ways of connecting the SD card and the PC:

-Insert the SD card in the Parameter writer and connect the Parameter writer to the PC via the standard USB

type A to Mini-B cable (see Figure 3)

-Insert the SD card in the SD card reader (slot) on the PC (see Figure 4)

For both these methods, the SD card is recognized as an external storage device. The SD card can be copied /

pasted in the same way as other external storage devices on the Explorer.

Note:

•Even when inserting the SD card in the SD card reader on the PC, make sure to format the SD card under the

condition that SD card is inserted to the Parameter writer connected to the PC with USB cable beforehand. (See

section 3.2 "About Format" for details of Format)

•See chapter 7 "Specifications" for supported OS.

•Windows is the registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation in U.S.A. and other countries.

•The PC must be on and operational before connecting the Parameter writer to avoid an incorrect start up of the

PC.

•The SD card must not be removed when the Parameter writer is on and a transfer is in progress. Otherwise, data

on the SD card may be lost.

•The file name length is 255 letters maximum.

•The number of files that can be saved in the SD card is up to 65535 or less.

(N.B. Too many files cause slow key operation response and display. Number of files should be little.)

•The following priority rules come into play when the Parameter writer is connected to a PC:

-If no transfer is in progress between the Parameter writer and the drive, the connection to the inverter is

ignored and the Parameter writer is detected by the PC.

-If a transfer is in progress between the Parameter writer and the inverter, the user has to wait until the

transfer is complete. The Parameter writer must then be reconnected so the PC can detect it.

Source of configuration files

-If an inverter's configuration is to be duplicated, it is transferred to another inverter via the Parameter writer.

See chapter 5 "Configuration transfers".
