Today we're going to go over some of the features of the COMBIVIS 6 parameter scoping software.
The first step is to connect the COMBIVIS connection cable to the LCD keypad plug the cable into the
X6D port on the LCD keypad operator. Then go over to your computer with COMBIVIS 6 open.
Go to the start-up and configuration tab. Click "scan for KEB device", a window will appear. Click
"Start search". Once COMBIVIS finds a device, highlight and click "add selected devices."
COMBIVIS is now connected to the drive.
To perform a parameter upload follow the same connection steps highlighted earlier.
Once connected, navigate to the tools tab. Select parameter backup. Make sure the
correct device is selected and that both "device" and "operator" parameter checkboxes are selected.
Click "Start." A warning pop-up will remind you to perform uploads while the machine is NOT running.
Click "yes." The upload procedure will now begin. A progress meter shows the completion
and percentage. This may take a while depending upon the number of parameters you are uploading.
At this point, we recommend you save the project, but you can export the list immediately if desired.
To export and save the parameter list as a ".dw5" file, right-click on the screen and
highlight "export," click on "download list." Alternatively, you can save the
project by navigating to the "file" tab up on the upper left. Select "save project as."
Name your project and hit "save."
To perform a parameter download follow the same connection steps highlighted earlier.
Once connected, right-click on the Node. It should be green if connected properly.
Select "add parameter list." Check the "import parameter list" from file. Find your list
and select "add."
The parameter list is now added to the node.
Double-click on the parameter list. Perform the download. Three options are available. You can
right-click on the parameter list window and select "download list," select "yes." Another option to perform
the download is to select the "F4" key with the parameter list open. Select "yes." The final way to
perform a parameter download is with the list open, select the green icon up at the top. Select "yes."
Some errors may occur, specifically with password level, tuning parameters, and read-only parameters.
This is normal and you can select "Ignore all" parameter download is now complete.
From here you can see all of the operator parameters, make parameter adjustments, and make
a scope Trace. In this example, we want to adjust the motor current. Simply click on "motor data"
Scroll down to motor current. Double-click the parameter. A
window will appear. Type in your desired value
and hit "OK." The parameter has now been changed. COMBIVIS allows you to scope
up to 16 parameters in one single scope Trace. To do this, open the scope icon. Name your scope.
Click "add."
And now you are ready to begin adding parameters that you'd like to scope.
To add a parameter hit "new channel."
Select the parameter group you would like to scope. In this example, we want
to scope the diagnostic parameters. So we will scroll down to the DG group.
And here we will select "motor current."
Click "Add Channel." Here you can adjust different scalings. In this example, we will use the auto
scale function available later. To display the scope go to the upper left-hand corner and
hit "display." To start the scope, simply right-click and hit "start scope." COMBIVIS is now
scoping the parameter. When you are ready to be complete. Right-click again and hit "stop scope."
You may now use the autoscale function available in the lower right-hand corner.
Multiple parameter uploads as well as scope traces can be attached to the same project.
This allows the adjuster to take uploads of multiple cars and scope multiple cars
and have this all contained in one easy to open project. This is the basic setup for how to connect
COMBIVIS to the KEB F5 elevator Drive; how to take parameter uploads as well as scope traces.
