Figure 2.4.1: DGF Communication
A second possibility is the use of the DGF serial line, connecting it to a personal
computer and using a HIBS program. It is possible to execute read/write parameter
commands, supervision pages, to visualize the card parameters, execute status commands
or database load and save commands from/to disk. The serial line of the option uses S-
LINK3 protocol.
DGF parameters can be read or written also via the serial line of the drive on which it
is installed. Figure 2.4.1 shows the various connection and communication possibilities.
2.4.1 Drive keypad
The drive keypad can be used to control the functions of the DGF, and to modify the
DGF parameters.
To enter the DGF Menu from the drive main menu, it is necessary to call the submenu
OPTION, then OPTION 2.
The “OPTIONS/OPTION2/OPT2” submenu contains the Enable/Disable option
command that enables or disables the DGF. This parameter is read only once at
power on. If modified, the new value is operative after the next power on.
In the “OPTION/OPTION2/MENU”, the DGF controls the keypad. DGF items are
displayed through the menus and submenus; you can move in the menu by pressing
UP (from the current item to the previous one) and DOWN (from the current item to
the next one). If you are not able to access OPTION2\MENU, this means that the DGF
is not recognized by the drive.
The current menu or submenu can be entered by pressing ENT (access to submenus)
and ESCAPE (return to the previous menu or submenu).
The structure of the various menus of the DGF is shown in the following diagram:
