Overview
Engineering Information
NXGII ToolSuite
The NXGII ToolSuite is a PC-based high-level Graphical User
Interface (GUI) application that integrates various software
tools used for NXGII based drives. ToolSuite, equipped with
the Microsoft Windows Operating System, allows navigation
through a drive’s features by using a PC or by using a
touchscreen (instead of an operator panel) – allowing you to
monitor and control that drive’s functions quickly and easily.
The NXGII Control and the PC running the NXGII ToolSuite
software, interface with one another using Ethernet and TCP/
IP protocol. ToolSuite contains the following tools: Drive Tool,
Debug Tool, and SOP Utilities.
Configuration
• Multilevel password to limit access
- Passwords same as used in drive
• Folders for each drive configuration category (i.e., VFD
Menu system)
- Icon colors to indicate default and modified parameter
values
- On screen parameter identifier (matches operator panel
IDs for speed menus)
- Parameter editing assisted by minimum/maximum limits
and defaults
• Ability to upload logs, parameters, system program
• Ability to download system program and/or configuration
data files
Graphing
• Adjustable time scale
• Predefined variable list to select variable to be graphed
• Graph up to 10 variables
• Individual variable offsets
• Individual variable scaling
• Customizable graphics – fonts, color, styles
• Freeze graphics
• Freeze graph on fault
• Freeze on selectable trigger
• Zoom graph
• Printable graphics
• Exportable graphics
Status
• Programmable display variables
• Pick list selectable variables, same as drive operator panel
display list
• First 4 synchronized to operator panel display
• Fault and alarm indicators (traffic lights: red = fault,
yellow = alarm, green = none)
Control
(only if enabled by SOP)
• Manual start button
• Stop button
• Fault reset button
Drive tool
Its purpose is to manage all of the drive features and provide
the user with a user-friendly view of the drive.
The Drive Tool’s main features include:
• Drive configuration
• Drive variable graphing
• Drive status (provides real time status of various
parameters, measured values, and calculations)
Debug tool
This application provides a remote graphical user interface
for Siemens medium-voltage ROBICON Perfect Harmony
NXGII series drives. With the Debug Tool, the user can
examine drive variables using a PC in a simple and quick
manner. The debug utility is intended for use during test,
commissioning, and troubleshooting of the drive.
SOP utilities
The System Operating Program (SOP) is the logic that
maps the internal and external I/O into the functionality
of the drive. In its simplest form, it just maps internal states
to external points. In more complex forms, additional
complex logic, in the form of Boolean logic, as well as timers,
counters, and comparators, express the system functionality
to the drive.
The SOP Utilities is a group of utilities under the ToolSuite
umbrella program. It performs most of the functionality
on the PC running the ToolSuite, but has serial
communications capability for uploading and downloading
the System Program directly to the drive via an RS232
interface between the drive and the PC. The purpose of
the SOP Utilities Tool is to convert logic statements into a
form of machine-recognizable code that is run under the
built-in drive SOP interpreter.
