Introduction
Clock
A clock backed up by a lithium battery makes it possible to have a log of events that have occurred. When the “Controller Inside”
programmable card is installed in the drive, the drive faults are automatically time and date-stamped without special programming.
Programming
In factory settings mode, the "Controller Inside" card only contains the clock function.
For other applications, the program must be loaded:
• By loading an existing program (procedure described in the PS 1131documentation)
• Or by loading a custom-built program, with the aid of the PS 1131 software workshop, using the function libraries dedicated to
programming the "Controller Inside" card.
In order to program the "Controller Inside" card, it is necessary to undergo training.
The PS1131 CD-Rom contains:
• This manual, already available on the CD-Rom supplied with each Altivar 71
• The PS 1131 software workshop
• The online help
• The standard function library
• Program examples
• The Altivar 71 parameters manual
The standard function library contains:
• Logic functions (AND, OR, etc)
• Mathematical functions (Cos, Sin, Exp, etc)
• Functions dedicated to drives which simplify data exchanges between the drive and the "Controller Inside" programmable card (example:
sending the speed reference)
• Functions for managing the CANopen bus
• Graphic terminal display functions
This manual does not describe programming using PS 1131.
Note: PS 1131 is also called CoDeSys.
CoDeSys V2.2 can be used on the Controller Inside for Altivar 58 (VW3A581131), but must not be used for programming the Controller
Inside for Altivar 71 (VW3 A3 501).
