Rockwell Automation 9306 DriveExplorer Software Set Up and Reference Card - Manual (Page 2)

Number Name Description
1 Menus Contains the commands that you use to perform tasks. For example, you can select Actions > Upload and Save to save
parameter data to a file.
2 Tool Bar The tool bar contains shortcuts to several commonly used commands.
3 Left Pane Contains the devices to which you are connected, the custom views that you have created, and the compare results
if you have performed a compare.
Important: A plus sign indicates that there are additional items under the item. Click the plus sign to view those items.
4 Devices Heading under which the nodes to which you are connected appear. In the above example, there is only one
connected node.
5 Node A node is a product and its adapter(s). A number and name identify each node. This name may be changed by the user.
6 Product The product port number, name, and description. The port number 0 indicates this is a product, not an adapter.
The product above is a PowerFlex 70 drive.
7 Files and Groups Logically ordered collections of the parameters. The PowerFlex 70 drive contains seven files.
Important: Not all products group their parameters.
8 Adapter The adapter port number and name. In the above example, a 1203-SSS converter is used and is connected to port 2.
9 Custom Views Heading under which the custom views that you have created appear. A custom view is a group of parameters from
different products and adapters that you paste on the same screen to make monitoring easier. (Full Version Only)
10 Compare Results Heading under which the resulting output of a compare appears. In DriveExplorer, you can compare the parameter
values in a selected device to parameter values in a DriveExplorer file or to factory-default parameter values. (Full Version Only)
11 Right Pane Displays the parameters for the selected product, group, adapter, or custom view.
In the above example, the PowerFlex 70 drive is the selected product, so its parameters appear in the right pane.
Important: When the right pane is blank, the selected item in the left pane does not have parameters.
12 S S (status). In this column, you see whether a parameter is R (Read Only) or * (Editable). When DriveExplorer is
monitoring live data, you see these symbols appear and disappear.
13 N:P.P# N (node number) is the network node number for the device.
P (port number) is the port number for the device.
P# (parameter number) is the parameter number in the device.
The first parameter is from the PowerFlex 70 drive at node 1. The port number 0 indicates that
this parameter is from the product, not its adapter. The P# 1 indicates that this is parameter 1 in the product.
14 Name The parameter name. Output Freq is the parameter name of the first parameter.
15 Value The value of the parameter. 0 is the value of the first parameter.
16 Units The unit of measurement for the parameter. In the example above, Vlts is the unit of measurement of the first parameter.
There is no unit of measure for parameter number 8.
17 Control Bar The Control Bar provides an interface for controlling a device. (Full Version Only)
18 Status Bar The status bar provides a brief description about the command or tool bar button over which the mouse
pointer is positioned.
