1. PLC programming
 ABB DC drives use the programming tool ControlBuilder
DCS800 for programming applications
 The ControlBuilder DCS800 is based on CoDeSys
 CoDeSys is a hardware independent IEC 61131-3
programming tool under Windows to create applications
 The DCS800 target file and library are necessary to
develop applications. By means of functions from the
DCS800 library applications can be connected with the
DCS800 firmware
 Additional libraries offer advanced functions to support
the application programming

electronic is de-energized, the application is lost.
 The code can be downloaded and saved on the Memory
Card. If the drive’s electronic is de-energized, the
application is automatically re-loaded at the next power up.
 If the source code is saved on the Memory Card, it can be
uploaded by means of CoDeSys
 With DriveWindow Light it is also possible to download
both the code and the source code into the drive
Back to directory

8-Feb-11
9. Possibilities
Download (PC to DCS800)
Upload (DCS800 to PC)
CoDeSys
DriveWindow Light CoDeSys
With CoDeSys following files can be
generated:
PRG (program file)
CHK (checksum file)
SRC (source code)
If the SRC-file is not downloaded
other users cannot open the
application!
The application can be protected
with a password by means of
function block “ProgProtect”.
Removing saved applications from the Memory
Card is only possible by means of CoDeSys!
Back to directory
With DriveWindow Light it is
possible to download all generated
files into the Memory Card.
The files can only be generated by
means of CoDeSys.
To download files via DriveWindow
Light a knowledge of CoDeSys is
not necessary!
Only with CoDeSys it is possible to
upload the source code (SRC-file) of
an application from the Memory
Card.
To open the application the source
code is needed! If only the PRG-and
the CHK-files are saved it is not
possible to open the application.
If the application is protected with
the function block “ProgProtect”
password is needed for uploading
the application!

8-Feb-11

 The download was successful,
when the pop-up vanishes
Back to directory

8-Feb-11
9. Saving with DriveWindow Light
 For service personal, not working with CoDeSys, it is
possible to download applications with DWL
 For example:
An engineer has to commission a drive. He can´t work
with CoDeSys, but he receives a program from the
application center.
Now he can download the program with DWL into the
drive!

and will load the application when the drive is energized
again
 With ParApplSave (16.06) it is also possible to save all
parameters on the Memory Card and load them into
another drive
Back to directory

8-Feb-11

The upload of the source code is only possible if the
source code was downloaded before.
 Upload by means of DriveWindow light is not
possible at all

 and save the program file
 Type into File name:
DEFAULT.CHK
 and save the checksum file
Back to directory
