Setting Elapsed Time
The drive firmware download process resets the operating hours displayed
on the Terminal back to zero. You can restore the actual operating hours
using a utility program (Sethobb.exe) supplied with the firmware package.
To set the elapsed time, follow the steps described below:
- Turn off control power to the drive control boards and the Terminal.
- Remove the Terminal connector from CIB (Port-J7).
- Connect your laptop to CIB (Port-J7) 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 (eg., 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 CIB (Port-
J7) 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 CIB.
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.
Power off the Terminal and insert the memory card. Apply power to the
terminal. The terminal on power-up will sense new firmware and
download it from the card. You will see a series of codes on the screen (2
– 20 – 21 …) and then the drive application firmware will start. The
process may take several minutes. When the download is finished, remove
the card from the Terminal. (If you leave the card in the terminal, it will
reload the firmware each time the terminal is powered up).
