Abstract
The embodiments describe a control system and a method for programming a plurality of motor drives. One embodiment provides a control system including a workstation configured to acquire a configuration file, in which the configuration file is indicative of a programming configuration of a motor drive. The control system further includes a plurality of motor drives communicatively coupled to the workstation. The workstation is configured to transfer the configuration file to each of the plurality of motor drives, and each of the plurality of motor drives is configured to update the programming configuration associated with the motor drive based on the configuration file.
Claims20
A method for programming a plurality of motor drives, comprising:
- acquiring a configuration file on a workstation, wherein the configuration file is indicative of a programming configuration of the plurality of motor drives;
- communicatively coupling the workstation to the plurality of motor drives;
- and
- transferring the programming configuration to each of the plurality of motor drives communicatively coupled to the workstation.
A system for programming a plurality of motor drives, comprising:
- a workstation configured to acquire a configuration file, wherein the configuration file is indicative of a programming configuration of a motor drive;
- and
- a plurality of motor drives communicatively coupled to the workstation;
- wherein the workstation is configured to transfer the configuration file to each of the plurality of motor drives, and each of the plurality of motor drives is configured to update the programming configuration associated with the motor drive based on the configuration file.
A method for programming a plurality of motor drives, comprising:
- acquiring a configuration file on a workstation, wherein the configuration file is indicative of a programming configuration of the plurality of motor drives;
- communicatively coupling the workstation to a first motor drive;
- transferring the programming configuration to the first motor drive;
- decoupling the workstation and the first motor drive;
- communicatively coupling the workstation to a second motor drive;
- and
- transferring the programming configuration to the second.
