PTi210
The user will need a drive keypad or Connect software. Set 18.001 = 19237 and cycle power to the drive. After the drive has completed powering back up there should be a Slot Error for the slot where the PTi210 is fitted indicating there is no program in the module.
How do I erase the program and reset a PTi210 back to factory default defaults?
Can I download a program to a PTi210 while the drive is enabled in a Ready or Run state?
Question
Answer
No, the drive must be disabled / inhibited to download a program to a PTi210.
Mobile Inputs and Outputs
I just installed a new drive and am reusing the PTi210 module from the drive that failed since it is still functional. Do I need to re-program the PTi210?
No, the program for the PTi210 resides in the module NVM. If the same exact program is going to be used downloading is not required.
What voltage will cause the PTi210 inputs to turn on?
The input turn-on voltage is 15 Vdc +/- 0.5 Vdc
What are the PTi210 digital input voltage ratings?
The inputs are rated for +24 Vdc with a maximum input voltage of +30 Vdc.
No. There is no program in a brand new PTi210 module so a program must be downloaded first to a new PTi210 before upload can be used to go online with the module.
Can I use "Upload" to go online with a new out of box PTi210?
What are the current ratings for the PTi210 digital outputs?
The 2 outputs are rated for 20 mA total.
Do I have to save parameters in the drive after downloading a program to the PTi210?
No, the PTi210 has its own microprocessor, and performing a download to the PTi210 writes the program contents directly to NVM (non-volatile memory).
The PTi210 are electrically sourcing I/O. All I/O utilize positive logic meaning they are active when a positive voltage is applied. Refer to Figure 3-2 in the PTi210 user guide for a wiring diagram. The PTi210 module has a single terminal block allowing screwless terminal access to the digital I/O. The terminals are numbered from Terminal 1 to 3 on the upper row (left to right) and Therminals 4 to 6 on the bottom row (left to right).
Are the PTi210 I/O sinking or sourcing?
Yes, it is recommended to pre-program the module by fitting the PTi210 to the same drive type and size that it will be used on by downloading the desired program using PowerTools Studio software. After downloading the program to the PTi210 it can be removed for use later time in the same drive slot that it was originally programmed in.
Can I pre-program a PTi210 module for later use on a compatible drive?
The PTi210 has 3 digital inputs and 2 digital outputs. The first two digital inputs are designed for high speed capture, but they can also be used as a regular input.
How many inputs and outputs are on the PTi210?
I cannot find my SI module in the PowerTools Studio Slot Configuration Module Type drop down list. How do I program this module?
For Module Type select ‘Empty Slot’ for the Slot # where this module is fitted to the drive. The module can then be setup using the drive keypad or Connect software.
Hardware Installation
I just replaced a drive that had a PTi210 module fitted to one of the drive slots. Do I need to fit the PTi210 module in the same slot where it was removed from?
In PowerTools studio click on the ‘>’ next to Hardware and then click on Comms Slot – Onboard Ethernet for M700, M702 or M750 drives and enter the new IP address in Setup, and check the box next to Change Ethernet Settings. Download the changes. For M701 or M751 drives with SI-Ethernet fitted to one of the drive slots click on the ‘>’ next to Hardware and then click on the Slot # where SI-Ethernet is fitted and enter the new IP address in Setup, and check the box next to Change Ethernet Settings. Download the changes.
Yes,when replacing a drive that has a PTi210 and any other working solutions modules each module needs to be put back into the exact same drive slot in the new drive.
How do I change the Ethernet IP address on a drive that has a PTi210?
Are PTi210 modules hot swappable?
No, remove all power from the drive before removing or adding PTi210 or any other solutions option modules.
Do I need any additional options to install a PTi210 to a Digitax HD (M750 or M751) drive?
Yes, the SI-Option Mounting kit order code 9500-1055 must be ordered separately to allow proper fitting of the PTi210 and any other option modules to the drive.
My drive with a PTi210 keeps losing it's IP address on a power cycle.Why is this happening?
The IP address is stored in the PTi210 module settings and must be changed using the PowerTools Studio software.
Do I need any additional options to install a PTi210 to a Unidrive M700, M701 or M702?
No, any empty drive slot can be used to fit the PTi210 module.
The number of available drive slots depends on the drive being used with the PTI210.
How many drive slots are available in PowerTools Studio software for Solutions Integration (SI) modules?
For M700, M701 & M702 there are 2 drive slots available for other SI-Modules after installing the PTi210.
Module Programming
For the M750 & M751 there is one drive slot available after installing the PTi210.
First, modify the drive initialization file in PowerTools Studio. The Drive Initialization File can be found under the Hardware tree in PowerToolsStudio. If it is not there, enable it to be view or edited by selecting Options/Preferences/Show Advanced Views.
A standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet patch cable can be used.
What programming cable is needed to program a M700, M702 or M750 with PTi210 using PowerTools Studio software via Ethernet?
Next, insert the following lines into the code:
For M701 or M751 drives that have SI-ETHERNET fitted to the drive a standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet patch cable can be used to program the drive.
Menu.12.41=1 - this instruction set the brake control to Enable.
Menu.8.22=12.040 - this sets the Digitax HD Brake Release function to be the source of the SP Relay.
What programming cable is needed to program a M701 or M751 drive using PowerTools Studio that has no SI modules fitted to the drive?
You can use the standard CT-USB-CABLE serial programming cable as a USB to Serial interface from your local PC.
Next, remove or comment out the following line:
How do I control the brake on a motor with PowerTools Studio and the PTi210 on a Digitax HD?
You will be able to download PowerTools Studio software at the Software Downloads section of Control Techniques' website when it is fully released later in 2020.
Where can I download PowerTools Studio software?
Does PowerTools Pro v6.0 work with the PTi210 Motion Made easy module?
No, it does not. You will need to use PowerTools Studio software for programming and commissioning the PTi210 Motion Made Easy module.
Menu.8.22=18.040 - IO 2 Source Destination.
This is the preferred method of controlling the brake when PTi210 is used. In actuality, the Digitax HD is doing all the control, and PTi210 is simply telling the drive to take over.
