Appendix

C

Use with DriveExplorer Software

This appendix presents information about using DriveExplorer software
with the 1203-USB converter.

Important: Please note that there are no plans to provide future updates to

this tool and it is being provided ‘as-is’ for users that lost their
DriveExplorer CD, or need to configure legacy products not
supported by Connected Components Workbench software.

Installing DriveExplorer

Software

The full version of DriveExplorer software is available from the Rockwell
Automation website at

http://www.ab.com/support/abdrives/webupdate/

software.html

. After downloading the DriveExplorer software to your

desktop, double-click its executable file to display the DriveExplorer Setup
screen and follow the screen prompts to install the software.

!

ATTENTION: DriveExplorer software does not support and must
not be used with PowerFlex 520-Series drives. Although a
DSI-based drive like the PowerFlex 4-Class drives, it has several
new features not supported by DriveExplorer software. Saving a
configuration using DriveExplorer software will be incomplete
and data will be lost.
Use Connected Components Workbench
software with PowerFlex 520-Series drives.
