Section 1: Overview The DataLogger Series 3 was designed to simplify troubleshooting and provide for detailed operational histories that are necessary for genuine preventive maintenance. The DataLogger is a nonvolatile solid state (flash memory) recording device that allows the operator to easily and logically access the Run, Alarm & Fault histories of the IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 2 and IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 3 drives. It will also store 5 parameter sets.
How data logging works: The DataLogger is a device which polls the Drive via the RS232 CN1 port. Once connected, the logger will read the Inverter Status and U1 parameters. From the Inverter Status, the logger can detect when the drive is running or when a fault or alarm occurs. Note: the logger must be in Monitor mode to log any data. When a run occurs: When the logger detects a run, it increments the run counter and begins to take averages and store peak values of the U1 parameters being read.
Logging of Run, Fault, Alarm and Trace Data All Data collection is automatic, viewing data is per the various screens, and the roadmap of functions per the diagram on the Menu Navigation on page 6. The Monitor Mode of the DataLogger permits Real Time monitoring of Inverter activity. Uploading and downloading parameter data The drive parameters can be uploaded (stored) into the DataLogger for use at a later time.
14912, 14920, 14940, 14960, 14961, 14962, 14964, 14965, and 14980. For connection to Series 3 drives, simply replace the keypad with the data logger. The DataLogger will automatically begin logging after a 2 second boot up. For connection to a Series 2 drive remove the existing keypad. Use the ribbon cable, p/n 140-10274 supplied and connect the 12 pin connector end to the Series 2 keypad port. Connect the 8 pin connector end to port on the rear of the DataLogger.

The Monitor Mode provides for Real-Time display of Inverter operation. It also indicates the total number of Run events, Alarm and Fault events. - MONITOR MODE - Accum Runs: Indicates the number of run commands given. Accum Faults: Indicates the number of faults recorded. 01/28/04 08:44:13 Run Status: Accum Runs: Accum Faults: Accum Alarms: Stopped 0001 0001 0000 - MONITOR MODE 01/28/04 08:44:13 Accum Alarms: Indicates the number of Alarms recorded.
The Fault History provides the data for reviewing recorded faults and information on each fault occurrence. -FAULT HISTORY 01/28/04 08:44:13 Run where fault occured Fault Description Flt: 1 OF 6 Run: 5 Ext Fault S7 01/16/04 02:37 Date & Time: Used to time stamp all history and trace data.

Introduction to DataPulse Series 3 software DataPulse is a user friendly, Windows based, DataLogger communication software that will allow the viewing of logger data in a spreadsheet format. The DataPulse software functions include: • Uploading Run, Fault, and Alarm histories and the corresponding trace data. • Uploading 5 sets of parameters stored in the DataLogger. • Displaying and saving the above data.
Navigating DATAPULSE Series 3 MENU Upload data from Datalogger View parameter data View Run data View Alarm data View Fault data Uploading data stored in the DataLogger is done through the button located on the toolbar or by selecting “DataLogger” and “Upload from the DataLogger” from the Menu. The file must be uploaded before viewing any data. A status bar will indicate the progress of the upload and the history buttons will be highlighted after the upload is complete.
Viewing parameter sets Selecting the logger. button will display the parameter sets that are stored in the Double click on the parameter set of interest and the parameter information is displayed.
Displaying Drive History Data Selecting the button will display the fault history window. Selecting the button will display the alarm history and selecting the button will display the run history window. The example below shows a typical display of the history data. Data columns can be moved by selecting the column header and dragging the column to a new location. Columns can be deleted by selecting “VIEW” and “OPTIONS” from the toolbar menu.
Select the data that you want to display by selecting in the check box.
PRINTING It is best to print only the desired information from the thousands of pieces of data stored in the logger. To edit and print this information, you would save the file as a *.CSV file which is a “comma separated variable” file. The file type can be easily imported into a spreadsheet program for editing and printing. To save this file as a .CSV file, select “Save as”, “Save as type” and select “Comma Separated Variable(*.csv)” in the drop down menu. (Be sure to rename your file.) Open the *.
