Preface and general information

The program Global Drive Control (GDC) is used for convenient commissioning and parameterization
of the Global Drive Control series 8200 and 9300.

The primary features of GDC are:

·

Guided commissioning using drive−specific dialogs.

·

Menu−assisted parameterization. Simultaneous representation of menus and assigned codes
similar to Windows Explorer.

·

Parameterization with and without direct controller connection (online/offline operation), thus
enabling preparatory parameterization already in the office.

·

Simplified function block parameterization for 93xx controllers.

·

Automatic controller identification when operated at a serial port.

·

Communication via serial interface RS232/485, optical fiber ring or system bus possible.

·

Integrated interface for OPC (OLE for Process Control so that GDC − as OPC client − is able to
access bus servers supported by Lenze DriveServer.

·

Simplified troubleshooting through diagnostic function.

·

Monitor windows for the representation of 8 parameters which are updated periodically. The
values can be represented by different forms (point instrument, bar, trend, number).

·

Oscilloscope function for 93xx controller.
(93xx Servo as from software version 2.0, 93xx Vector as from software version 1.0)

·

Function block editor for 93xx controller

·

Input assistent for motor data.

·

PC parameter set comparison with Lenze default setting or the momentary drive setting, to
determine which parameters were changed.

·

Complete parameter set transfer between PC and controller using one command.

·

Hardcopy of parameter settings for documentation purposes.

·

Saving/Loading the drive configuration for the exchange among different computers.

·

Convenient online help system.
