4. Connecting the Parameter writer

This section describes the various ways of connecting the Parameter writer.
Default language is set to English. Refer to section 6.9 and change the language setting, according to need.

4.1. Connection to a PC

There are two ways of storing files on the SD card:
-Insert the SD card in the Parameter writer and connect the Parameter writer to the PC via the standard USB
type A to Mini-B cable (see Figure 3)
OR
-Insert the SD card in the SD card reader on the PC (see Figure 4)
For both these methods, the SD card is recognized as an external storage device. The SD card operates in Windows
operating system explorer using the same copy/paste actions as any standard external storage media. (OS: Windows
XP/Vista/7 operating system)
Note:
•Windows is the registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation in U.S.A. and other countries.
•The PC must be on and operational before connecting the Parameter writer to avoid an incorrect start up of the PC.
•The SD card must not be removed when the Parameter writer is on and a transfer is in progress. Otherwise, data on
the SD card may be lost.
•The file name length is 255 letters maximum.
•The number of files that can be saved in the SD card is up to 65535 or less.
(N.B. Too many files cause slow key operation response and display. Number of files should be little.)
•The following priority rules come into play when the Parameter writer is connected to a PC:
-If no transfer is in progress between the Parameter writer and the drive, the connection to the inverter is
ignored and the Parameter writer is detected by the PC.
-If a transfer is in progress between the Parameter writer and the inverter, the user has to wait until the transfer
is complete. The Parameter writer must then be reconnected so the PC can detect it.
Source of configuration files
-If a inverter's configuration is to be duplicated, it is copied to another inverter via the Parameter writer. See
"Loading a configuration from inverter" on section 5.1 and "Configuration transfers" on section 5.2 and 5.3.
