Setting field | Description |
|---|---|
Start and Close | |
Action on closing the app | Select which of the following actions should be performed when closing the application:
|
Run the software on startup of Windows INFORMATION: Since starting the software and connecting the devices takes time, data acquisition by the data containers begins with a slight delay (approx. 5 minutes) after starting Windows. | Specify whether the software should start automatically when Windows starts. The option is disabled by default.
|
Language | |
Language | Select the display language of the user interface. The system language is set by default. |
Data collection | |
Show metadata warnings if metadata is incomplete | Specify whether warnings (small warning triangles) are displayed in the device list for the devices if the "application type" and "functional location" metadata are not filled. The option is disabled by default. |
Check internet connection and notify user | Specify whether the connection to the SEW‑EURODRIVE website should be checked periodically (5 min) in the background and a warning should be displayed in the event of an error. The option is disabled by default. INFORMATION: To check the connection to the endpoints, see Audit. |
Check data containers for overlapping parameter configurations | Specify whether a data container should be compared with other data containers when it is created or saved to detect data redundancies. If the same parameters are detected in the data model, a note is displayed. The displayed note can be ignored via a button. The option is enabled by default. |
Disable Generation B scope containers if the MotionStudio scope application is running. | Specify whether a process monitor is executed in the background that monitors whether a MotionStudio scope application is running. If this is the case, a warning is displayed and all Generation B scope containers are temporarily disabled. When the MotionStudio scope application is closed, the Generation B scope containers are automatically enabled again. The option is enabled by default. |
If a scope recording does not contain a sufficient number of data points, discard the data packages from the Generation B and MOVI-C® scope containers. | Specify whether data events are discarded if the number of read data points during scope recording is smaller than the number of configured data points. This case occurs, for example, if the scope memory is too small for a fixed number of data points. Instead of sending the incomplete scope recording as a data event, the data is discarded when this option is activated. An error message is not displayed. INFORMATION: If this option is activated and a trigger has been configured for which data acquisition is directly active, the data of the 1st trigger event is discarded. |
Monitor Generation B and MOVI-C® data containers for external state change | Specify whether state changes due to additional applications that work with the software (e.g. the PreprocessingApp enables or disables a data container) are displayed in the dashboard. |
Allow managing devices in EtherCAT® configuration mode | The internal route of an inverter changes if, in the EtherCAT® control, you switch from configuration mode to operating mode. Therefore, only devices in EtherCAT® operating mode are supplied by the device scan. |
Factory settings | |
[Restore factory settings] | Reset the software to the factory settings. All the current settings will be deleted. |
Authorization password | |
[Set permission password] | Specify an authorization password to protect the program configuration as well as certain functions from unauthorized access. If an authorization password has been set, it is needed for changing the program configuration and for executing certain functions. The current authorization can be viewed and raised or reset via the The "Read" authorization (the authorization password set, but not entered), can be used to view the program configuration, but not to change it. The "Write" authorization (authorization password set and entered correctly) can be used to change the program configuration and to perform protected functions. |
