ABB DriveWindow 2.30 Communications

[dmargineau]

Has anyone tried to use the Title mentioned software to interface to an ABB ACS800 using the USB to fiber optic RUSB-02 adapter.?! Frustrating is the sugarcoated description of our efforts!!! We've managed to connect to a drive JUST ONCE!!! After saving the Parameter File and restarting the software we haven't been able the "replicate" our unique success again!!!! -replaced the fiber optic cables -tried connecting to a drive running the newest revision software -installed the software on a different machine -called ABB Support numerous times. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Anticipated thanks!

The system must be connected and drive powered on before you start drivewindow - otherwise you need to disconnect then reconnect. Have you tried swapping the fibre optic cable connection at the RUSB-02 - the connection identification is typical ABB. The drivewindow 2.30 software must be installed BEFORE you ever plug the RUSB-02 unit into the PC otherwise it will fail.
