1. Preface
This document is an overall description about saving and restoring parameters in the 32-bit
DriveWindow (version 2) for NT. This document is valid for version 2.0 Beta 7 and newer only.
1.1. Purpose
Saving and restoring parameters in DriveWindow 2 is needed to make commissioning,
maintenance, and debugging of drives and drive systems fast and easy.
1.2. Product
DriveWindow 2 for NT is a 32-bit Windows program running under Windows NT 4.0 SP3 (or
newer) operating system in a x86 PC.
2. General Description
This document describes, how to configure DriveWindow 2 so that it can save and restore proper
parameters of a certain kind of drive. It also describes the default parameter restore
configurations for different kind of drives.
Parameter saving and restoring (downloading) are commands selectable from the user interface.
ABB Industry Oy DRIVE WINDOW 2 3AFE
Drive Products & Systems Technical Description 00130808.DOC
3. Parameter Handling
3.1. Saving
Parameters are saved into a file by user’s request.
All visible, i.e., parameters not currently protected by pass code, of the selected drive (or an open
parameter file, if it is selected) are saved. In addition those pass code protected parameters,
which are listed in restore configuration, are saved.
Real names of the protected parameters or their groups are not saved, but the groups are named
as “Group n Backup” and the parameters “n.m: Parameter n.m Backup”.
The file has filename extension DWP. It is human readable ASCII file. You must not edit or
otherwise change it by using other programs than DriveWindow 2.
The format of the file content is not described here.
Note that the parameters currently protected by pass code are not saved unless listed in restore
configuration.
ABB Industry Oy DRIVE WINDOW 2 3AFE
Drive Products & Systems Technical Description 00130808.DOC
The opened file can then be browsed even off-line, and parameter values can be changed the
same way as drive parameters are changed. The changes are lost, however, unless the open
parameter file is saved.
Note that closing (or deleting from desktop) of the parameter file never prompts saving of
changes made.
3.3. Restoring
3.3.1. Starting and Checking
To restore parameters, the parameter file containing parameters to be restored has first to be
opened and the drive selected. Restoring starts by user’s request.
ABB Industry Oy DRIVE WINDOW 2 3AFE
Drive Products & Systems Technical Description 00130808.DOC
DriveWindow 2 checks that all items with tags Properties.* and Application.Properties.* have the
same value in the file and in the drive. In addition it checks the same way items listed as checking
parameters in the restore configuration.
Note that the kind of drive to be used in selecting the restore configuration is read from the drive,
not from the opened parameter file.
If checking does not pass, the user still has the option to continue (at her own risk).
User Parameters consist of parameters in groups 10...98 except those of string type. They also
include parameters listed as user parameters in parameter restore configuration for the drive. This
list can also contain string type of parameters.
Id Run Result Parameters consist of parameters listed as id run parameters in parameter restore
configuration for the drive.
If the id run list is empty or not all parameters required by the list are present in the open
parameter file, the ID run results selection is grayed and cannot be selected.
3.3.3. Downloading
Before downloading, a parameter lock, if specified in the restore configuration, is opened after
saving its current status.
The hourglass cursor is shown while the parameters are downloaded, which may take several
minutes, especially if pauses are included in the restore configuration list.
In DriveWindow 2 versions prior 2.12, the user parameter download order is: parameters in
groups 10…98 first, then parameters listed as user parameters in parameter restore
configuration.
In DriveWindow 2 version 2.12 and newer, the user parameter download order is: parameters
listed as user parameters in parameter restore configuration first, then parameters in groups
10…98. This ordering makes it possible to download some parameters, which would be locked
otherwise.
After downloading has been done, the parameter lock value is restored, if there was a parameter
lock specified.
If the downloading fails, a message is shown to the user.
Note that if there is another drive at node address 1 in the same communication channel, the
drive cannot be restarted through DriveOPC. If this is the case, the user is informed about the
condition. Restarting can then be done by hard reset after Network Disconnect or exiting
DriveWindow 2.
If Id Run Result Parameters were downloaded, we recommend restarting of the drive. Otherwise
the decision has to be made by the user.
Note that restarting the drive causes the DriveWindow 2 workspace reset because of internal
Network Disconnect/Reconnect. So, monitoring is stopped and the monitor is cleared, for
example.
Note that if the node address changes when the parameters are restored, the behaviour of
DriveWindow 2 is not specified. It may be that the restoration fails or the drive disappears from
the tree when restarting the drive.
4. Restore Configuration
4.1.3. Keys
The following keys within sections are recognized:
4.1.4. LockParameter
Unless empty, this is the (Boolean) parameter, which must contain FALSE (0) when restoring
parameters.
4.1.5. CheckGroup
Contains parameters that are used in checking phase during restoration. In addition to the
properties always checked, the values of these parameters should be the same both in the drive
and the parameter file to be downloaded.
4.1.6. UserGroup
Contains additional parameters, which are restored when user has selected restoration of User
Parameters. Parameters other than type string, which are in groups 10...98 and are not pass code
protected, need not to be listed here, because they are automatically included.
ABB Industry Oy DRIVE WINDOW 2 3AFE
Drive Products & Systems Technical Description 00130808.DOC
4.1.7. IdRunGroup
Contains parameters, which are restored when user has selected restoration of Id Run Result
Parameters.
4.2. Ordering
During restore, the Groupn values are handled in order 1...n. Their order in the file does not
matter.
During save, any parameter is put into the save file only once, even if it is not pass code protected
and appears several times in restore lists.

5. External References
In addition to a normal operating system installation, the DriveWindow 2 program does not require
any other programs or modules to be present. All modules required are included in the
DriveWindow 2 installation.
6. Other Features
6.1. Performance
Drive communication link speed limits performance of the parameter handling functions.
When remotely connected, the network limits DriveWindow 2 response to user actions.
