IMS commissioning tool

Обзор

The Inverter Management Software (IMS) is the tool used to commission all versions of SINAMICS G180 drives.

This user-friendly tool is used to

• commission
• optimize and
• diagnose.

The clearly structured PC operating program supports PC-to-converter communication via USB, RS232, RS485, PROFIBUS DP or modem. A device identification function (IMS detects the firmware versions of connected drives) supports auto-adaptation to later firmware releases.

In order to ensure optimum operation and parameterization of the SINAMICS G180 converters, appropriate setting options are assigned to individual activities.

As a result, parameters are much easier to locate and the potential for making errors during commissioning, maintenance or servicing of the SINAMICS G180 converter is significantly reduced. The option of programming the unit in offline mode (no connection to the drive) facilitates local operation and reduces downtimes. The IMS also offers a comprehensive oscilloscope function which can be used for online and offline system diagnosis.
