About us
At a Glance
To configure a Lexium 05/15, an IcLA, a Tesys U or an ATV61/71 device, it is necessary to use an external tool:
NOTE: To facilitate the configuration and programming of the motion and drives devices, it is highly recommended to use the software in conjonction with the Control Expert MFBs.
NOTE: You can do autoconfiguration with NCO2212, as with a NCO1010.
Advantys Configuration Software
Advantys Configuration Software (Version 2.5 or higher) has to be used to configure a STB NCO 2212. The Advantys Configuration Software validates the configuration and creates a DCF file that contains all the objects used in the configuration ordered in the proper sequence. The DCF file can be imported from Control Expert.
NOTE: The creation of the DCF file is only possible from the full version of Advantys.
WARNING
RISK OF UNINTENDED OPERATION
The symbol file *.xsy generated by Advantys must not be used in Control Expert during the configuration of an STB Island.
The assignment of inputs and outputs to %MW objects is different.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
The procedure for adding an island to a CANopen bus is as follows:
Step
Action
1
In Advantys Configuration Software (Version 2.2 or above), create a new Island.
2
Select the STB NCO 2212 Network Interface Module.
3
Select the modules which will be used in the application.

Click OK to confirm.
7
Once the file is exported, launch Control Expert and open the project in which the island will be used.
8
Add a STB device to the Bus Editor (see How to Add a Device on the Bus).
9
Right-click on the STB device, then click on Open the module.
10
In the PDO tab, click the button Import DCF.
11
Confirm by clicking OK. The PDOs are configured automatically.
NOTE: The modification of the topology of an island requires recommencing this procedure.
For more information about the STB configuration, please refer to the STB user manual.
Powersuite Software
The PowerSuite software development is a tool meant to implement the following Altivar speed drives. It should be used to configure an ATV31/61/71, a Tesys U or a Lexium 05 device (Powersuite 2)
Various functions are integrated for being used on implementing phases such as:
The configuration is directly stored in the device.
For more information about the configuration of an ATV31/61/71 and Tesys U using Powersuite Software or about the configuration of a Lexium 05 with Power Suite 2, please refer to the device user manual.
UNILINK Software
UNILINK provides simplified parameter setting for Lexium 05/ Lexium15 servo drives. It is used to configure, sets and adjusts Lexium 15LP/MP/HP drives according to the associated SER/BPH brushless motor and the application requirements.
