!ATTENTION: Only people familiar with Reliance Electric products, and the associated machinery the products control, should plan or implement the installation, configuration, or maintenance of the product. Failure to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.

ATTENTION: When you reset or power cycle a module, the connected product may fault because of the communications loss. Verify that you can reset or power cycle a module safely. Failure to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.


2.3 Installation and Configuration Checklist

This section guides you through the steps that you will need to perform in order to use VS Utilities software. To remain focused on the high-level nature of each task, the following steps do not include step-by-step instructions.

When you are ready to use VS Utilities software, you should follow the detailed instructions in the Quick Start, which is located in the VS Utilities online help.

Table 2.3 – Installation and Configuration Checklist

Step Action Refer to

1 Install and start VS Utilities

Before you can use VS Utilities, you have to install it on the hard disk of your computer. After installing the software, start VS Utilities using the Windows Start menu or the VS Utilities icon on your Windows desktop.

Chapter 3

2 Connect your computer to a product.

Use a module and required cable(s) to connect your computer to a product (see tables 2.1 and 2.2).

If you are connecting to an SP600 drive or other DPI product using a RECOMM-232 serial converter, and that product has an installed DeviceNet, ControlNet, or Ethernet module, you will be able to connect to other DPI products on that respective network using VS Utilities.

Chapter 2


3 Configure your communications port.

By default, VS Utilities is configured to communicate using:- Communications port 1- 9600 baud rate- BCC checksum- 4-second time-out- 5-second control time-out

If these settings are not compatible with the settings in your module, select Explore > Configure Communication. If you are connected directly to an Ethernet module, select the Ethernet radio button. Otherwise, select the serial radio button and then select the desired settings in the Configure Communication Port dialog box.

Online Help

4 Connect to a product

You must connect to a product to establish communications between the computer and the product. There are three types of connections:

• A Local connection establishes point-to-point communications with the product physically connected to your computer.

• A Network connection establishes communications with one or more products on a network.

• A direct Ethernet connection establishes communications with one or more nodes on an Ethernet network.

Select Explore > Connect > Serial Point-to-Point or Explore > Connect > Serial Network or Explore > Connect > Ethernet to connect to a product.

Online Help

5 Monitor and edit parameters

After you are connected to a product, you can monitor parameters by selecting a product or module in the Device (left) pane. Its parameters appear in the Parameter (right) pane. You can edit a parameter value by double-clicking the parameter in the Parameter pane.

Important:When editing parameters, refer to your user manual for details about parameters, such as whether changes take effect immediately or require a reset and whether a drive must be stopped before you can edit a parameter.

Online Help

Table 2.3 – Installation and Configuration Checklist (Continued)



2.4 Understanding Types of Connections

To use VS Utilities, you must physically connect your personal computer to a product. Figures 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 illustrate some possible connections.

6 View information about a product or module

You can click a product or module in the Device pane and then select Explore > Device Properties to view information about it.

Online Help

7 Upload and save parameters to a file

After you edit parameters, you can upload them and save them to a file on your computer. The file can be used as a back up file, or downloaded to another drive (if it is the same type). This action can be performed as an upload/download for a single device on a node or as an upload/download where all of the parameters for each device (e.g. Drive, OIM, Communications Module) are stored together in a single file.

Online Help

8 Print Parameters

You can print parameters and their values either immediately with File > Print or save them to a text file to be printed later with File > Print to a File (*.txt).

Online Help

9 Compare Parameters

• Compare parameter values from a device to its defaults.

• Compare parameter values from a device to values stored in a file.

• Compare values between two files.

Online Help

10 Flash Update

Available for local serial or direct Ethernet only. Select device to update, go to Device Properties > Details > Flash Update. Flash files must be installed on PC.
