ACTIVE oscilloscope graphic presentation
The functionality and practicality of the
virtual oscilloscope are identical to those
of a powerful and modern conventional
oscilloscope, with the added benefit that all
the parameters controlled by the inverter
microprocessor can be displayed, whether
of a physical nature (current, voltage,
frequency, etc.) or a virtual nature (internal
control variables, timer signals, comparator
signals, internal digital signals, etc.).
Engineering software
VPlus for PC
VPlus is a software application for management
of Bonfiglioli ACTIVE and VCB inverters using a PC
connected to the drive by means of an RS232 or
RS485 serial interface.
For this purposes the ACTIVE inverter must be
equippedwiththeoptionalKP232interfaceor
with communication module CM232 or CM485.
The program is a highly useful accessory in
all phases of the application, from inverter
commissioning to run-time monitoring.
The user interface features an ergonomic structure
that supports the user during programming,
management, and monitoring, allowing storage
of data sets by saving them to file and subsequent
retrieval for the reverse procedure of downloading
to the inverter.
VPlus requires a PC running Windows 98/NT/2000/
XP and an RS232 or RS485 standard serial port
with DB9 connector, grounded to avoid problems
of disturbance on signals exchanged between
inverter and computer.
The menus / submenus structure provides
subdivision of parameters by uniform groups.
The interface language can be English, Italian, or
German.
The VPlus program also provides the facility
for modem connection for remote diagnostics
operations on the inverter.
OSCILLOSCOPE function
The Oscilloscope Function of the ACTIVE inverter
is an application package integrated in the
Bonfiglioli VPlus program which, by means of the
acquisition of signals arriving from the drive core,
enables the graphic representation of both the
power and control waveforms for the purposes
of field technical diagnosis optimisation of the
applications.
An essential requirement for the use of the
integrated oscilloscope is the installation of
interfacemoduleKP232ontheinverter.When
connected to the PC using a standard DB9 female-
female cable this interface creates 115 kbit/s
acquisition channels of the four traces shown on
the computer screen.
Salient features of the Oscilloscope Function:
- 4 channels
- Display of absolute values
- Amplitude and time measurement cursors
- Timebase from 20 ms/div to 50 s/div
- Various trigger types
- Graphic memory up to 1 Mbyte
- Trace recording memory up to 60 min.
-
Sampling times from 2 ms to 32 ms (depending on the PC)
- Various trace storage formats
Minimum inverter requirements:
- ACTIVE with firmware version 4.1.X or higher
