. There are no plans to
provide future updates to this tool and the download 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.
DriveTools SP Software
A software suite designed for running on various Microsoft Windows operating
systems. This software suite provides a family of tools, including DriveExecutive
software (version 3.01 or later), that you can use to program, monitor, control,
troubleshoot, and maintain Allen-Bradley products. DriveTools SP software,
version 1.01 or later, can be used with PowerFlex 750-Series, PowerFlex 7-Class,
and PowerFlex 4-Class drives, and also legacy drives that implement a SCANport
communication interface. Information about DriveTools SP software can be
obtained at

Fault Action
A fault action determines how the option module and connected drive act when
a communication fault (for example, a disconnected cable) occurs or when the
controller is switched out of run mode. The former uses a communication fault
action, and the latter uses an idle fault action.
Fault Configuration
When communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
option module and PowerFlex drive can respond with a user-defined fault
configuration. The user sets the data that is sent to the drive using specific fault
configuration parameters in the option module. When a fault action parameter is
set to use the fault configuration data and a fault occurs, the data from these
parameters is sent as the Logic Command and/or Reference.
Foreign Device
A BACnet device that has an IP subnet address different from those comprising a
BACnet/IP network which the device seeks to join. The foreign device may be a
full/part time node on the foreign subnet.
Gateway
A device on a network that connects an individual network to a system of
networks. When a node needs to communicate with a node on another network,
a gateway transfers the data between the two networks. You need to configure the
address for the gateway device in the option module if you want the option
module to communicate with devices that are not on its network.
Hardware Address
Each Ethernet device has a unique hardware address (sometimes called a MAC
address) that is 48 bits. The address appears as six digits separated by colons (for
example, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx). Each digit has a value between 0 and 255 (0x00 and
0xFF). This address is assigned in the hardware and cannot be changed. It is
required to identify the device if you are using a DHCP server.
HIM (Human Interface Module)
A device that can be used to configure and control a drive. The Power Flex 20-
HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM can be used to configure Power Flex 750-Series
drives and their connected peripherals.
