VPlus engineering software
VPlus software provides a common programming and
monitoring platform for all Bonfiglioli inverter drives.
Now in version 7, VPlus provides an effective aid to
configuring, diagnosing and controlling your drive
from a PC, and also provides a range of practical
tools to manage the resources of your AgilE
inverter completely and efficiently.
Just connect the computer to the drive via the
ASK-USB accessory cable and launch VPlus. Serial
communications are quickly established and entire
drive setup is displayed on the computer monitor along
with a toolbar containing drive control functions.
VPlus supports multiple and simultaneous
communications between the same number of drives
as there are USB ports on the computer, as well as a
connection to the Bonfiglioli drive field bus.
IO monitoring
The IO monitor window lets you view the inverter’s digital inputs and outputs
and motor status.
Graphic control panel
Current drive functioning values can be displayed numerically or graphically, as
the user wishes.
VPlus functions
Simply click on the relevant icons to:
•Uploadparameterlestothedrive
•Conguredriveparameters
•Readcurrentparametersvalues
•Runthemotorsetup
•Opentheinvertermonitoringwindow
•Displaythe4-traceoscilloscope
•Opentheinverterstatuswindow
•Programthedrive’sbuilt-inPLC
Each of the above functions opens a new window that remains visible along with
all the others to permit a global view of drive functions.
Built-in oscilloscope
VPlus software incorporates a digital oscilloscope with the following functions:
•4programmabletraces
•2mssamplingrate
•manual/automaticX-Yaxisscaling
•programmablethresholdtriggers
•auxiliarycursors
•printfunction
•dataexportinCSVformat
•imagesaving
The oscilloscope enhances the functionality of the Agile drive’s own diagnostics
by permitting the run-time display of any physical or virtual variable handled
by the drive and the real time analysis of the entire process driven by the motor
shaft.
