• Install driver

• Important Note: If the driver is installed incorrectly you need to uninstall the driver before you install again.
Follow these step A through D in case the driver did not install properly or Windows automatically selected another driver.
Step A: Right mouse click on the COSMOS Series Inverter or AC Drive USB Device and select Uninstall.

Step B: Next click Ok in the dialog box.

Step C: Unplug the USB cable from your computer and wait 10 sec then plug the USB cable back in.
Step D: Repeat complete installation of USB driver.

5.3. Make connection with Yaskawa converter

• Open DriveWizard Plus and Select USB communication interface.

• Remark: When you receive below error message see section 4.2 Setup databases DriveWizard Plus.

• If you are connected to de converter this is marked by the blue bar in the DriveWizard Plus software

6. Parameter files

6.1. Where to find the parameter files?

Parameter files can be found on the Airport .

6.2. How to open an parameter file?

Open project file.

Select the correct parameter (project) file.

Remark: When you receive below error message see section 4.2 Setup databases DriveWizard Plus.

6.3. How to write parameters to the converter?

New converters ordered with the Atlas Copco part numbers mentioned section 8. Converter part numbers and tools are
delivered with the correct parameters programmed.
• If you want to write parameters to the converter you need to be connected to the converter. see section 5.3 Make
connection with Yaskawa converter.
• Open parameter file as described in section 6.2 How to open parameter file

Parameter file is open Connected to converter

! When you stand in parameter edit section you the icons to write parameters will come active !

• Use “write all parameters” button.

6.4. Compare parameter files
With the compare function you can compare 2 parameter files.
Or you can compare a file to the parameters in the converter if you are connected to a converter.

7. Parameters – Fault history

7.1. How to see fault codes without display on the converter?

The converter in a VSD+ is delivered without an operator panel. You can order an operator panel with the part number
indicated in section 8. Converter part numbers and tools.
Or connect the laptop/computer to the converter and use the DriveWizard Plus software as described in above sections.
The fault parameters can be found in the monitor section.

Parameters U2-xx and U3-xx are fault history information as described in section 7.4 and 7.5
The monitor parameters can be exported by the export function shown below. Select the monitor setting file, and the file
name & folder to save this information.

Some fault codes are grouped and shown on the Mk5 elektronikon protections screen. For this you wil find more information
in section 7.6 Fault information shown on Elektronikon Mk5

7.2. Password for “Factory level” access

• Password need to be entered in parameter A1-04

• Password = “0616”
• Then “Factory Level” can be selected in parameter A1-01

7.3. Monitor parameters

8. How to run in manual control? (there is no “service

switch”)

To run the converter you can run it in manual control but for this you need an operator panel (1089 9662 38) shown in
section 8.3 Operator panel

The converter can be set on local control by changing parameters:

• B1-01 (reference frequency selection)
From 2 (serial communication)  0 (operator panel)
• B1-02 (run command)
From 2 (serial communication)  0 (operator panel)

Go to parameter B1-01 and B1-02 and change the vallue by using the arrows and enter button.

5/11/2018
PM 2946 1662 02 Page 11 of 12
Press escape (ESC) to return to main screen.
Press enter in main screen to set reference frequency ( For example 2000RPM)

2000RPM

Now you can start and stop the converter with the “RUN” and “STOP” button. And the converter will go to and run on the
reference frequency set.

Remark: In this case the unit will only run for +/-20 seconds, and then say DNE = Drive Not Enabled.
This because the drive enable contact is not closed (see service diagram the contact to the converter). To overcome this you
can bridge the run enable contact. Or push the start button on the Mk5 while you push “RUN” on the operator panel.

Afterwards you need to set the B1-01 and B1-02 back to the original setting.
• B1-01 (reference frequency selection)
2 (serial communication)
• B1-02 (run command)
2 (serial communication)
