Setting Elapsed Time

When you replace the existing DPM board in the drive with a new board,
the operating hours counter will start from zero. Therefore, if you want to
keep the actual operating hours in the drive, you can restore them by
running a utility program (Sethobb.exe), which is usually supplied with the
firmware package. You can also request a copy of the program by e-mail at
[email protected]. Follow the steps below to
set the elapsed time in the drive.


-

Turn off control power to the drive control boards and the Terminal.


-

Remove the Terminal serial connector from Analog Control Board,

ACB (Port-J12).


-

Connect your laptop to ACB (Port-J12) using a null-modem cable.


-

Turn on control power and wait until the boards are powered up and

the LEDs on the boards become steady green.


-

Run Sethobb.exe program on your laptop.


-

When prompted to "Specify a COMM port to use <1, 2, 3, 4>",

enter the correct port number and then press the Enter key.


-

When prompted to "Specify the time preset including the 1/10 Hr:",

enter actual operating hours (e.g., if the actual operating hours = 146.5
Hrs, then enter 1465), and then press the Enter key. The Sethobb.exe
will be closed automatically.


-

Now, remove your laptop and reconnect the Terminal to ACB (Port-

J12) and turn on power to the Terminal.


-

After the Terminal is powered up, you should be able to see the actual

operating hours on the main screen.

The Operator Terminal is an interface used to interact with a
PowerFlex7000 drive. In order to communicate with the drive, the
Terminal needs a valid firmware. If it lacks the software, it does not have
the necessary information to communicate with the Analog Control Board
(ACB).

There are two methods of downloading the firmware into the Terminal,
which are described below.
Using Flash Memory Card

If using a Flash Memory Card (2711-NM4 or 2711-NM8 or 2711-NM16),
copy the appropriate file to the Flash Card in the root directory. Ensure
that there are no other files on the card containing the .FMW extension.
