Printing and Uploading Drive Data
Capturing Drive Data You can capture and save drive data such as drive setup, parameters, variables,
trend data, fault masks, alarm queues etc., onto a laptop using the HyperTerminal
program. When using HyperTerminal to upload the data, the program prompts
you to select a file for data storage. Open a new Notepad (text) file and save that
file on the laptop before uploading data from the drive.
The following example illustrates the method to create an empty .txt file
(example1.txt) and print the data from drive to a laptop.
Required:
• Laptop with Windows HyperTerminal program
• A null-modem cable with a 9-pin female connector for the laptop serial
port, and a 9-pin male connector for the ACB Printer Port ( J11). (A serial
cable with pins 2-3 swapped at one end will also work.)
1. To create an empty notepad (.txt) file, run the NotePad program (Start
>Program > Accessories > Notepad). A blank Notepad window will
appear as shown below.

IMPORTANT As of Rectifier module firmware revision 7.002G, you can record control data in
PF7000 MV ForGe Control drives using the Drive Data Recorder. This feature
captures a pre-selected set of critical control data to NVRAM whenever there is
a drive fault or there occurred any of the following warnings: Line Loss, Line
Synch Loss or Bus Transient. There is no setup or arming requirement to enable
this trending.
