1 Introduction
1.1 About NORD CON
NORD CON
is a PC program intended to control and parameterizes the NORDAC vector
Frequenzumrichter inverters produced by Getriebebau NORD and option modules.
With
NORD CON
, up to 31 frequency inverters can be controlled simultaneously via the
integrated RS485 interface. Communication with the frequency inverters is handled by the PC's
serial interface.
To enable trial runs or system start-ups, the connected frequency inverters can be controlled
via the PC. The program also provides for continuous monitoring of the current status of the
frequency inverter while these activities are going on. Complete process sequences can be
developed using macros.
With
NORD CON
,
you can perform, document, and save the parameter settings of a frequency
inverter which will be read out by the inverter or transmitted to it respectively. Parameter
databases can be created or manipulated off-line - i.e. without a frequency inverter being
connected.
The program further provides for remote control of the connected frequency inverters. For the
frequency inverter to be remote-controlled the operating unit of the type in question is simulated
on the PC. This is a convenient way of operating devices which are either difficult to access or
haven't got an operating unit themselves.
1.2 How to use NORD CON
Attention
For the parameterization and controlling of the devices with NORD CON, your PC requires a
serial interface.
1. Installation
Please start the installation program of
NORD CON
on the enclosed CD or load the installation
program from the Internet ("http://www2.nord.com/cms/de/documentation/software/software-
overview.jsp"). Enter all necessary information and install
NORD CON
into the standard
directory.
2. Connect
If the frequency inverter is equipped with an RS232 optional interface, it can be directly
connected to the PC with a serial 1-1 cable. In this case, only one frequency inverter can be
connected. Each NORDAC vector Frequenzumrichter frequency inverter features an
integrated RS485 interface which can be activated via the control terminals. This interface
allows for configuration of a master/slave bus system with up to 31 devices max. For
