Motor drive configuration system and method

摘要

A motor drive comprises a power sub-assembly and a control sub-assembly removably secured to the power sub-assembly. The power sub-assembly contains all power electronic circuitry and driver circuitry for the power electronics. The control subassembly comprises control circuitry for implementing a motor control routine that generates control signals for the power sub-assembly. The control sub-assembly is configured to conform to a USB mass storage device class such that it will appear as an icon on a configuration station when coupled 10 the configuration station via a USB cable. Thereafter, the drive may be accessed by selecting the icon, and parameter file and data transfer may be performed, such as by drag-and-drop transfer steps.
