1.2 Information on the Manual Without written consent of the manufacturer no part of this Manual is allowed to be reproduced or passed on to a third party in any other form, neither by way of electronic or mechanical means, such as photo copies, records or any other system used for storage/call up of information. At the time of printing the contents of this Manual applies for the software version V1.6/ CONCYCLE® System Tools. The manufacturer reserves the right to carry out changes with regard to further technical developments of the system in future editions of the Manual without prior notice.



2 Requirements on the system Installation and operation of the CONCYCLE® System Tools require the following of the personal computer (PC): Hardware: - min. 1 GHz processor, recommended: 2 GHz and faster - min. 256MB user memory, recommended: 1 GB and more - min. 20 MB free hard disc storage Operating system: - Microsoft Windows 2000 or higher Recommended display resolution: min. 1024*768 Pixel

3 Quick start

3.1 Installation The installation program of the CONCYCLE® System Tool includes all components necessary for a connection to the CSC4 and so when setting up the software you only need to follow the program “Install_ConcycleSystemTool.exe“. All further adjustment can be directly done from the System Tool. The user interface of the installation program is self-explanatory. Except the usual settings there is merely none other selection to be made.

3.2 Start of the CONCYCLE® System Tool The CONCYCLE® System Tool is started by double click on the specific icon on the desktop (if chosen ….at the installation) or by interlinks on menu ”Start“ → ”All Programs“ → ”Woodward“ → Converter → ”Concycle System Tool“:

After the program surface is displayed the connection to the CSC4 can be established.

3.3 Configuration of the serial connection Select menu option “Settings“ from menu “Options“. In the displayed dialogue window select option field “Serial Server“ and then click on “Configure…”. In the now opening dialogue window the actual COM-Port setting is displayed. If the setting is correct the window can be closed by clicking “OK” or “Cancel”. Or from the list of all available COM-Ports you can select the one the device is connected to and then confirm with “OK”.



3.4 Communication with the CSC4

3.4.1 Connection set-up Firstly connect the CSC4 with the PC by using a serial cable and make the connection to the CSC4 by selecting the option “Connect” from menu “CSC”. A dialogue window opens for selecting the user level and enters the password. After the password is accepted the CONCYCLE® System Tool changes into the “Online Mode” if the parameter description file matching the device has been found. Should this be not the case, then all version specific data has to be read out of the CSC4 first. For this the respective displayed question has to be answered with “Yes”. After the reading procedure has been finished, the CONCYCLE® System Tool changes into “Online Mode”.

3.4.2 Communication errors If communication errors occur when a connection is established, the window for selection of the user level cannot be displayed. The “Connection Window“ (see fig. 1) does not close as a result.

Fig. 1: Connecting window

Finish the connection set-up by clicking on “Cancel“and check the following: - Is the serial cable correctly connected? - Is the CONCYCLE® System Tool configured for the “Serial Server“? - Is the COM-Port setting correct for the serial server? - Is the CSC4 switched on and completely booted? Please note: Connection to the CSC4 is only possible if the LED ”System OK“ is green! If your answer to all questions is “Yes” this indicates a hardware defect. In this case please contact the Woodward Service.



4 Software description

4.1 Preamble The CONCYCLE® System Tool is a data acquisition software which enables commissioning, as well as reading out and editing of operational data from a Control-System-Concycle, version CSC4. This software is a comprehensive and powerful tool for the local engineer and the personnel of the external supervision, providing quality information with regard to the working conditions of the Woodward converter system before and after faults have occurred. The CONCYCLE® System Tool is able to interlink with any CSC4 (regardless of the individual software version). At the first connec-tion, the CSC4 provides the System Tool with all necessary data. Based on this data, the System Tool compiles a description file suitable for the individual system and aided by this file the tree dis-play can be arranged. For another connection attempt or connection to another system with identi-cal configuration as well as software, this description file will be used again so that the readout pro-cess of all CSC4 data only becomes necessary if the used software version or configuration is un-known to the System Tool. Representation of all CSC data appear in the System Tool normally in the language chosen, provided an up-to-date language packet is installed, i.e. in the language ticked on in the System Tool. The language packet includes the texts of all elements of the CSC4 in all supported languages. Since the language packet differs from version to version it is essential to have installed the latest version. For instance: if an outdated packet is used, it might be possible that parameters or identifications of measured values and/or faults etc. are missing but which exist in the CSC4 version to be used. These elements are then represented in the System Tool under their internal names (description English), ensuring a reliable operation also in such a case.

4.2 Access level

4.2.1 General Access to the CSC4 is enabled via three password protected levels with various operating possibili-ties for the user. When establishing the connection to the CSC4, the specific level for the access is interrogated. Although the image of the CONCYCLE® System Tool is identical for all levels, the availability of the individual functions, however, is related to the respective level. Also the access to the individual parameters and measuring values depends on the level active at that time and so af-ter successful connection the displayed tree shows those parameters and measuring values only activated for the level used. Before changing to another level, the existing connection has to be closed and a new level can be chosen after a fresh connection has been established.

4.2.2 User level The user level furnishes merely basic functions to the user. Control of actual values of power, speed etc. are its main application. User mistakes/wrong parameter setting which may cause mal-function of the system or inflict damage to the hardware are ruled out on this level. To start the con-nection a fixed password is needed.

4.2.3 Service level This level provides the functions needed for commissioning and servicing. Before starting the con-nection a password is necessary. There are the following two access methods for this level: - Connection via a fixed password - Connection via a time-variable password The password to be entered is offered as a device default. If the device is set to a specific pass-word, the use of a variable password is not possible and vice versa. After commissioning the converter, a time variable password must be entered.

4.2.4 Expert level This level provides the entire functionality of the CONCYCLE® System Toll apart from one excep-tion (see chapter 4.2.5). The access to all measuring values and parameters is also possible. To establish the connection a time-variable password has to be entered. Important! When using this level a user mistake/wrong parameter setting can cause damage to the hardware of the Wind Power Plant!



4.2.5 Expert level (Woodward) Here the Woodward expert is able to generate passwords for the expert level valid for one day, which is the only difference to the before described expert level. This kind of password becomes, for instance, necessary if under certain circumstances parameters of the system have to be changed and the service engineer on site has no access to the needed parameters. In such a case the Woodward service is in the position to generate a password valid on that specific day only and allows the service engineer the access via the expert level.



4.3 Operational modes

4.3.1 Offline mode In offline mode, i.e. without active connection to a CSC4 device, users of the operator level, service level and expert level can used only the event recorder in conjunction with stored event recorder files. Offline parameterisation in conjunction with files of the type *.crcx is reserved for Woodward ex-perts and is available for device software versions 2.7 and higher. To activate the offline mode, the appropriate check box in the settings dialogue box must be selected (see also 5.13.9.2). When the CONCYCLE® System Tool is in the offline mode, a dialogue box opens for opening a parameter file when the user selects the button or menu item for establishing a connection. As the System Tool for the offline mode must know the device model to be used, a selected parameter file can only be opened for processing when the "DeviceModel.txt" file is additionally located in the parameter file folder. The checksum of the parameter set must also correspond to the checksum in the "Device-Model.txt" file. When these conditions are fulfilled, the parameters appear in the tree structure of the workspace in the same way as if connected with a device online. To show that the System Tool is in offline mode, the status bar changes colour and indicates that the system is offline.

Fig. 2: Offline-Modus

The parameters can now be adjusted in the same way as in online mode. Changes can also be made to the parameter set as in online mode or saved in the loaded parameter file with the F11 function key via the "Save parameters in device" menu item. Note: As in the online mode, no separate parameter save indication is displayed if the user has selected F11 or "Save parameters in device".

4.3.2 Online mode The online mode is the normal operational mode of the CONCYCLE® System Tools. As soon as the connection to a CSC4 device is established, (“CSC“ → “Connecting“, see chapter 5.13.2.1), all functions allocated to the specific level are available. In the window displaying the tree all parame-ters and measuring values are shown to which an access is enabled. It is now possible to load the measuring values/parameters wanted into the text window by double click or “drag&drop“ (see chapter 5.3). The instantaneous value of the element is read out from and displayed on the CSC4. XY-values can be entered into the graphic window by “drag&drop“ (see chapter 5.4). The tempo-rary content of the text and graphic windows is named “Workspace”. Permanent monitoring of all parameters and measuring values is realized by function “Autoread” (see chapter 5.13.2.4). If this function is activated, the relevant values are cyclically read out of the CSC and displayed on the System Tool.



4.3.3 Commissioning mode The commissioning mode (Commissioning Mode – see chapter 5.12) supports the user during commissioning of the Wind Power Plant (WPP). If the software detects that the specific WPP is not or not completely commissioned, this mode is automatically initiated during the connection proce-dure. But also for systems already commissioned it is always possible to initiate the commissioning mode again because it can be started manually via the menu, provided the user has access to the service level (level 2). In case the user has not the necessary rights to put the system into opera-tion then the following window is displayed:

Fig. 3: IBN mode message in case of insufficient user rights

Please note: If the commissioning mode is selected of a system in operation and the procedure is not properly finished this mode is automatically re-started with the next connection attempt!



5 Operation / Functions

5.1 General In chapters 5.2 to 5.12 we firstly deal with those windows and their display which are mainly in use. These are: The window for parameter tree display and windows combined under menu option “Dis-play”. The other functions are explained subsequently.

5.2 Tree representation

5.2.1 General The window showing the tree can be freely moved across the window, normally, however, it is “docked” at the left side of the System Tool screen. It is also possible to fade this window completely in or out via menu text “Display” → “Toolbars“→ ”Workspace“ . After start of the software the window area is firstly greyed out because there is no connection to the CSC4 yet. When connection to a CSC4 device is established, all those parameters and meas-uring values are displayed, activated for the level in use at that moment. By right-click with the mouse a context menu can be called up which enables - to fade in help texts for each of the parameters, - to search for parameters and - to fade in or out parameter numbers The individual parameters and measuring values can be „draged“ into different target windows by the „drag&drop“ function. The respective element is then „dropped“ in the text window by mouse click. If there is no text window opened, an empty one is issued prior to insertion.

5.2.2 Parameter search A detailed description of the search function for parameter nams and parameter numbers can be found under chapter 5.13.4.2.

5.2.3 Display of parameter numbers Via the context menu of the parameter tree it is possible for the user to fade in and out the parame-ter numbers and hierarchy levels (files). The individual parameter number is then shown in square brackets placed at the right to the name of the parameter or file. If the shown parameter number is active, that place in the context menu is ticked.



5.3 Text window

5.3.1 General This is the window mainly used when working with the System Tool. It serves the purpose equally for setting parameters of the system and checking any of the measuring values. After it is activated firstly this window contains an empty list only, embedded in a register card. Fig. 4 shows such a window with already partly filled-in parameters and measuring values.

Fig. 4: Text window with parameters and measuring values

All parameters and measuring values shown on the parameter tree can be entered in this window either by double-click or „drap&drop“. Shown are the allocated icon (measuring value or parame-ter), name, number, present value and the unit of the element. Normally the column for the element number is hidden but it will be displayed on mouse click. If the value has been successfully read out of the CSC, a green tick is shown on the left of the value. If the value was not successfully read, then a white cross on a red background is shown. A yellow icon with an exclamation mark in-dicates that the parameter values have been changed but are not yet transmitted to the CSC4. A magnifier indicates the element which is read out of the CSC4 at that instant.



Fig.5: Text window with context menu

The tool bar on this window shows the following icons:

1) 2) 3) 4) As to 1: This icon is available as soon as an element on the list is selected which is not at the uppermost position. When actuated the element on the list selected just then is moved up one position. Alter-natively, the respective action can also be initiated by pressing the key combination Cntrl+Up ar-row. As to 2: This icon is available as soon as an element on the list is selected which is not at the lowest posi-tion. When actuated the element on the list selected just then is moved down one position. Alterna-tively, the respective action can also be initiated by pressing the key combination Cntrl+Up arrow. As to 3: This icon is available as soon as a parameter on the list is selected. When actuated the dialogue opens for editing the parameter (see also chapter 5.3.3). Alternatively, the respective action can also be initiated by pressing the key combination Cntrl+Up arrow. As to 4: This icon is available as soon as an element on the list is selected. When actuated that element is deleted from the list. Alternatively, the respective action can also be initiated by pressing the key combination Cntrl+Up arrow.



5.3.2 To work with tabs In order to enable the user to group certain measuring values and parameters the text window has been provided with register cards (but one register card only exists as standard, see fig. 4). How-ever, by using menu bar “Tab” it is possible to establish new register cards on the text window. As shown on fig. 5 (Data/Additional Data) measuring values and parameters can be logically grouped. It is even possible to enter the same elements in different register cards because each list can be individually filled in with any parameters and measuring values. Also by using the “Tab” menu the register cards can be re-arranged, re-named or deleted. This way each user can combine his indi-vidual working area, which he is able to store and certainly also load (see chapter 5.13.1).

5.3.3 To edit parameters In order to edit a parameter shown on the text window all what is needed is a double-click on the chosen element of the list. This function can also be activated on the tool bar of the window or via the context menu. Because of the different parameter types there are also different input dialogues for setting parameters. On this we will go into details in the following. Integral number parameter: If it is an integral number parameter, the dialogue shown on fig. 6 is displayed

Fig. 6: Window for editing integral number parameters

On the input window always the lowest and uppermost value limit is shown so it is obvious at first glance which value range applies. If you are not sure whether the input is correct it is always possi-ble to stop by clicking on “Cancel”. The standard value of this parameter is loaded into the input field when actuating “Default”. By mouse click on “OK” the dialogue is closed and the input is shown on the text window. Floating-point parameter: If the parameter is of the “Float“ type, then the window shown on fig. 7 is displayed.

Fig. 7: Window for editing floating-point parameters



Compared to the window for integral number parameters the only difference is that here floating-point parameters can be put into this window. String-type parameters: For string-type parameters the window shown on fig. 8 is displayed.

Fig. 8: Window for editing string type parameters

Contrary to parameters with numerical values the string-type parameter does not have any stand-ard values. Therefore the button for loading standard values does not exist here. Because there are no value limits for string-type parameters, the limits shown on the in-put window refer to the length of the string permitted. Value table parameters: If it is a score table parameter the dialogue shown on fig. 9 is displayed.

Fig. 9: Window for editing score table parameters

For setting parameters it is only necessary to select the respective entry out of the list which can be opened by mouse click on the Combobox.



5.4 Graphic window On the graphic window measuring values in a co-ordinate system are displayed. Here it is possible to enter X/Y measuring values with “drag&drop“. The graphic window (fig. 10) has a co-ordinate system on the left and a list view on the right.

Fig. 10: Graphic window with X/Y measuring values

The names of the shown measuring values are faded into the co-ordinate system after the square at the bottom left has been activated (ticked). The value range of the co-ordinate system lies between –100% and 100% for both the X as well as Y axis. Each of the elements in the list has additionally a factor (standard = 1) which can be adjusted by double mouse click or via the context menu. The measuring value “MSC: Mains Current (x/y)” shown on fig. 10 has been assigned with factor 2500. So, if very small values are involved, it is possible to increase the distinctness consid-erably. A measuring value displayed in the list with black letters on a red background signals an overflow. The overflow for measuring value “MSC: Stator Voltage (x/x)” shown on fig. 10 was caused by too high factor adjustment and so it cannot be shown on the graphic window. Measuring values assigned with a factor are marked with a circle on the graphic window display. Measuring values without factor assignment are marked with a cross. Checking the adjusted factor can be done by double click on the selected element and the dialogue shown on fig. 11 is faded in. The presently applying factor for that element is listed there.

Fig. 11: Input dialogue to enter a factor for the graphic display



The context menu of the graphic window (called up by right-click on one of the listed elements) is shown on fig. 12. Analog to the text window it is possible to arrange the sequence of the listed ele-ments in any order via the context menu. The factor applying for the specific element can be reset to “1” by selecting the last entry.

Fig. 12: Context menu of the graphic window

With regard to the tabs of the list view, the functionality of the graphic window is identical to the one of the text window (see also chapter 5.3.2).



5.5 Event recorder

5.5.1 General The chronological order of events is read out of the non-volatile memory of the CSC via the event recorder. The recorder transfers the events into a so called ring memory with a capacity of maximal 1000 entries. When this number is reached the first entries are overwritten. Conditional on an active connection to a CSC, the event list can be transferred from the device into the list field by mouse click on “Read Events”. The window shown on fig. 13 is inserted by the System Tool during the readout procedure; this window closes automatically as soon as the readout procedure is finished.

Fig. 13: Display during the readout procedure

On fig. 14 such an event list is shown as an example. When the square for the relative time is ticked, this time is shown on the event list, i.e. the relative time of the event marked on the list is displayed.

Fig. 14: Online event list



Please note: The event list is not updated without assistance but can be actualized when read out again (conditional on an active connection to the device). When the button ”Clear Events“ is ticked on the device, the event list can be deleted. An uninten-tional delete of the event list through the CSC is prevented by a security inquiry faded-in before the procedure is started. If the event recorder window is opened without an active connection to a CSC4 a window appears as shown on fig. 15. In off-line mode only loading of saved event lists is possible. Buttons of the group fields “Event Files”, “Find Events” and the square “Display Relative Time” are available if such a list is loaded.

Fig. 15: Window of the event recorder in off-line mode

If an event list is displayed in the window it can either be saved as binary file (*.evt) or as text file (Unicode).



5.5.2 Interpretation of the event list Event recorder entries are represented by different graphic symbols (Icons): Icon Meaning Icon Meaning

Unknown event DSP bits status

System error DSP bits inquiry

Digital input DSP bits protection

Digital output DSP bits controller

Fault external PLC Fault

Status error external PLC

IC external PLC

External PLC status bits System event 1

Trigger data recorder System trap

PLC status change System stop When changing from logical “ZERO“ to logical “ONE“ (i.e. ON) the text allocated to the event is black. When changing from logical “ONE” to logical “ZERO” (i.e. Off) the related text is grey. After the boot procedure all event types are read out in blocks. These blocks are of different sizes, they can consist of 16, 12, 10, or 4 events. Due to the limited event storage all blocks are only shown once in full. The contained active event is marked black. On the example (fig. 16) the digital inputs of channel 0 are read out with the active events “WTC Status OK”, “Emergency Stop” and “Mains Failure”.

Fig. 16: Display a block of 16 digital inputs.



If the same block is read again, i.e. in the above example the one of the digital inputs of channel 0, then only the indicated active event or the status changing event is displayed. On fig. 17 the described behaviour is illustrated; here the digital input for the WTC status has been switched On and Off several time in succession. When an error occurs a fault data file is automatically recorded. The serial number is stated in the event recorder. The trigger to be examined can then be copied on the PC by the System Tool (see chapter 5.6.4).

Fig. 17: Toggle of the digital input “WTC Release“

5.5.3 Event search When the list in the event recorder window is filled with events, a search can be made for any texts in this list. When a text is entered and the search started by clicking the mouse on the respective button, searching takes place either from the oldest event in the list or currently marked option. This can be set via the checkbox. The search direction is generally from old to new events. Each time the mouse is clicked on the "Search" button, the next hit is displayed in the event list.

5.6 Disturbance recorder

5.6.1 General By the fault data recorder of the CSC4 a certain number of measuring data is recorded for a de-fined time and a corresponding file in the internal fault data drive is prepared. That takes always place if: - a fault has occurred, - a trigger has been manually actuated via input ”Trigger“ in menu “CSC“ by the user or : - an event stated in the parameter setting of the disturbance recorder has occurred. The user can decide on and adjust the measuring channels to be recorded as well as the recording time; he also can determine to which additional events the disturbance recorder should react (see chapter 5.6.3). In order to transfer the fault data files prepared by the CSC4 on to the PC the entry “Copy files” is to selected from the sub-menu “Disturbance recorder” of the “Display” menu (see chapter 5.6.4). Should there be corrupt out data on the internal fault data drive of the device, it can be formatted by the user (see chapter 5.6.2)).

5.6.2 Formatting of the fault data drive The fault data drive in the device can be initiated via the first menu point. The following dialogue window appears after activation:

Fig. 18: Dialogue window for formatting the flash disk

After mouse click on „Format“ the fault data drive in the device is formatted. This procedure is time consuming and therefore the time of processing can be in the region of 1 minute. Important! Formatting cannot be retracted or aborted. All data saved on this drive are lost!



5.6.3 Configuration of the disturbance recorder Via this menu option the internal fault data recorder of the CSC4 can be freely configured. After mouse click the window shown on fig. 19 is displayed. Although it is empty at first, the relevant val-ues are filled-in as soon as the configuration has been read out of the control device.

Fig. 19: Configuration of the disturbance recorder

The window is divided into four sections including the following functions: Section Channel List: The channel list and one button to delete channels are in the upper part of the window. Measuring values out of the parameter tree can be inserted in the list of channels to be recorded by the “drag&drop“ function. The disturbance recorder is able to record 64 channels max. simultaneously. To edit the contents of the channel list is reserved for the highest user level.



Section Timesettting: Here the desired time frame for the individual disturbance recorder file is set. The actual recording time before or after the trigger instant depends on the number of channels recorded and the sam-ple rate is set. Sector Trigger Actuation: This is the sector for defining and setting the events the disturbance recorder is expected to react to. All available logical inputs and outputs as well as all DPS modes and PLC modes can be se-lected from the individual Comboboxes. Where the trigger should be active on, either on the posi-tive or negative edge of the specific signal can be set for each of these groups separately. This function can be switched On or Off via the actuation square. (In fig. 19 the configuration for this section is greyed out because the square is not activated.) Transfer Configuration: In this sector are the two buttons for configuration transmission. After mouse click on the first but-ton the ongoing configuration saved in the CSC4 is read out and displayed in the dialogue window. When clicked on the second button the newly set configuration is sent to the CSC4. Please note: After the button for reading the configuration out of the control device any previous changes will be discarded without security inquiry. The status line of this window informs about the communication status. For the time the present configuration is read out of the CSC4, the status line is displayed as follows (fig. 20):

Fig. 20: Status line during readout process

If read out of the configuration was correct then the status line is displayed as shown on fig. 18. In case readout of the configuration was not possible (e.g. because the communication was inter-rupted) then the following message is issued (fig. 21):

Fig. 21: Readout process error

If an error occurs during transmission of a new configuration, the following message is issued (fig. 22):

Fig. 22: Transmission process error



5.6.4 Transmission of disturbance recorder files from CSC4 to the PC Via this menu option it is possible to transmit files of the disturbance recorder from the device to the PC. Firstly a dialogue window opens displaying files available for download on to the computer. The button for copying files is not on hand at first but it is activated as soon as one item of the list has been selected. As shown on fig. 23 it is possible to have a multiple selection of files. The list contents can also be arranged in the list header by clicking the mouse. Fig. 23 shows an example of an arrangement according to file names. Each time the mouse is clicked in the header of the re-spective column, the contents are alternately displayed in ascending and descending order.

Fig. 23: Dialogue window for download of disturbance recorder files on to the PC

In case the selected files are to be transmitted to the PC, a further dialogue window opens upon actuation of button “Get File(s) ….”, inquiring the target path (fig. 24). Any file can be selected from the tree display by mouse click. Issue of a new file is also possible by direct text input into the entry field.

Fig. 24: Select a folder to store files



If a new file is to be issued the security inquiry shown on fig. 25 is displayed prior to the copying procedure.

Fig. 25: Security inquiry before a new file is issued

During the copying procedure a progress field is displayed (fig. 26) as well as the name of the file in progress.

Fig. 26: Status display during the copying procedure

If only one file is selected and the copying procedure successfully completed, the software inquires whether the data visualizer shall be started or not (fig. 27). If there were several files copied this message is not displayed.

Fig. 27: Message displayed after only one file was copied

If a firmware version 2.7 or newer is running in the CSC4 device and if the CONCYCLE® System Tool is connected via the TCP/IP server (use of the internal Ethernet device interface), the files to be downloaded are transferred to the PC via FTP download. This result in a significant increase in speed compared to download via the serial interface. Each time files are copied, the system name and software identifier (WISE-ID of the software in-stalled in the device) are attached to the name of the respective fault data file. 5.6.5 Restore of the default configuration of the fault recorder The default configuration of the fault recorder can be restored via this menu item. After confirmation of the message window with "Yes", the current configuration of the fault recorder will replaced by the standard configuration



5.7 Login recorder

5.7.1 General A non-volatile circular buffer with 300 entries is implemented from system software Version 2.7. In this circular buffer, the device shows all user logins and logouts, parameter changes and software updates. This information can be read out and displayed with the aid of the CONCYCLE® System Tool. The login recorder window consists of three parts.

- Toolbar - Event list - Status bar

The toolbar contains the following three options for controlling the login recorder:

- Readout login recorder - Export login recorder - Delete login recorder

Fig. 28: Login recorder window

When the login recorder has been successfully read out of the device, the list shows all entries in the circular buffer. Each entry consists of information relating to the action, user name, user level, time of action, parameter number, parameter name and number of the respective entry. The CONCYCLE® System Tool shows the name of all changed parameters since the last software up-date. If the login recorder list does not contain any information relating to a software update (e.g. because this is too far back), the names of all changed parameters are displayed. Precisely five different actions can occur:

- User login - User logout - Parameter change - Watchdog logout - Software update

In addition, users can also access the toolbar functions via a context menu (right click mouse within the list). The status line shows information on the current status of the login recorder or shows any active faults.



5.7.2 Readout login recorder When the mouse is clicked on this option, the complete contents of the circular buffer are read out. The System Tool subsequently deletes the currently displayed list and fills the window with the cur-rent data.

5.7.3 Export login recorder This option can be used to export the list contents in a text file.

5.7.4 Delete login recorder This option is reserved for Woodward employees and enables users to delete the circular buffer in the CSC4 device. When this option is selected, a warning message is initially displayed, which must be answered with "Yes" before the contents of the login recorder are deleted.

5.7.5 User login When a user connects to the device via the CONCYCLE® System Tool, an entry of this type is gen-erated in the circular buffer of the device. This entry contains the user access level, Windows user login name and the current device time stamp. The parameter number of the entry is "0".

5.7.6 User logout An entry of this type is generated when the user disconnects the connection to the device via the CONCYCLE® System Tool. As with user login, this entry contains the user level, login name and device time stamp. The parameter number is similarly "0".

5.7.7 Parameter changes If the user changes a parameter value, an entry of this type is generated in the circular buffer of the device. The entry contains in addition to the user level, user name and time stamp, also the num-ber of the changed parameter.

5.7.8 Watchdog logout The Watchdog logout function is triggered when an active connection is disconnected without user interaction. If the connection remains inactive for 60 seconds, the device will assume that the user is unable to logout normally. The currently logged in user is automatically logged out from the sys-tem via an entry of this type.

5.7.9 Software update When the device is started, it checks for software updates. If an update is detected, the device cre-ates three entries in the circular buffer: The first entry contains as the user name, the designation of the software installed in the device prior to the software update. The second entry contains the Windows user login name created by the software update. The third entry contains as the user name, the designation of the software which replaced the pre-vious software. The following applies to all three entries: The access level is unknown and the parameter number is"0". Furthermore, these entries contain the time stamp when the device detected the software update.



5.8 Ethernet configuration

5.8.1 General This function can be used to configure the device IP addresses. This option is available from the device software Version 2.7. When the Ethernet configuration window is opened, the System Tool reads out the current IP settings from the device and displays them in three address fields. Via the "Read values" button, the values stored in the device can be read out at any time and displayed in the GUI. The user can transfer the changes in the address fields to the device by clicking the mouse on the "Set values" button. Note: If IP settings are changed by the user, these are initially activated by the device when the device is restarted.

5.9 System information The window showing the system information is a tab display with separate tabs for disturbance/ warning indications (fig. 29), system status (fig. 30), number of entries on the event recorder (fig.31) and information on the version information (fig.32).

Fig. 29: Page showing properties of the existing faults/warning indications

The property page shown on fig. 29 contains all existing faults/warnings at that instant, stating clearly numbers, signal texts and time stamps. The fault indications are shown incl. icon, the warn-ing indications without. Another distinction is the letter “F” preceding the number of the fault mes-sages and the letter “W” preceding the number of warning messages. In order to distinguish between internal fault indications and fault indications of the external PLC, the internal indications start at number “1” and those of the external PLC start at number “500”. This window is updated in cyclical order and so it is secured that the contents always reflects the right system status.



Fig. 30: Page showing properties of the system status

Fig. 31: Page showing properties of the number of entries in the event recorder



Fig. 32: Page showing properties of version information

The version information window consists of two parts. All version information relating to the device software and set generator type are displayed in the upper part. The lower part serves for the com-parison of parameter checksums. The checksum of the currently active parameter set can be read out of the device and displayed by clicking the mouse on the "Read" button. The user can now load a previously exported file containing version information via the "Load" button. The CONCYCLE® System Tool subsequently displays the checksum of the parameter set from the loaded file and switches the adjacent indicator to "Green" when both checksums are identical. If the displayed val-ues differ, the indicator switches to "Red". As shown on fig. 32 the information on the different versions can be saved in a text file via the ”Ex-port“ button. If this button is clicked, the following dialogue is displayed (see fig. 33), enabling the input of Meta information. On the input field concerning the location the relevant information is al-ready filled-in, but this can be overwritten if necessary. For processing purposes the user does not need to put in any further information on this dialogue window. After mouse click on button “Cancel” the application returns to the property page shown on fig. 32. After mouse click on button “OK” a standard dialogue is issued (Save As) and the user can decide on a location to save the file con-taining the version information.



Fig. 33: Dialogue window for input of Meta information

If the file was successfully saved, the application shows the following message (fig. 34):

Fig. 34: Message as to a successful issue of the file

If the file was not correctly issued due to an error, the application shows the following message (fig. 35):

Fig. 35: Error during issue of the file



The text file issued by the application has the same structure as a standard INI file, containing the following sections: - Meta information - Comments - CSC - Generator parameters and - Checksum parameter file This file is display on the following window (fig. 36):

Fig. 36: Output file of the application



5.10 Logical input bits

5.10.1 General The window for display of the logical CSC inputs is shown on fig. 37; it contains a list of all availa-ble inputs of the device and differentiates between physical existing and pure logical inputs. The physical inputs are those which correspond with the 20 physical input of the device. On the window the latter are marked by grey circles next to the indication of the present logical value in the first column. Yellow marking in the grey circles indicates that voltage is applied on the respective input. The third column comprises the number of the input at the CSC on which the respective entry is mapped. The last column on the window informs about the source controlling the inputs. There are further (pure logical) inputs, shown in the lower part of the list. The contents of the window for input bits is updated in cyclical order and so the user has always the existing status on the screen.

Fig. 37: Window of logical and physical inputs



5.10.2 Setting of digital inputs manually Manual actuating of digital inputs is only possible from the “Expert” level. If, however, the user has the necessary rights to actuate/control the inputs manually then the square on the lower left side of the window is available. After clicking here the window display changes to the illustration shown on fig. 38.

Fig. 38: Digital inputs with activated control possibility

Each of the inputs can now be selectively actuated by mouse click on the relevant square. Has an input be activated in this way, the entry under the last column changes to “User”. The actual actuat-ing process is started by mouse click on button “Switch State ON/OFF”. This refers to the selected input, i.e. even if several channels are activated, only the marked input is actuated after mouse click of that button. Important! By manual actuation of digital inputs the system can be switched on with the consequence that voltage free components become voltaged after the actuating process!



5.11 Relays

5.11.1 General The window displaying the relays of a CSC is shown on fig. 39. On this window all available digital outputs of the device are listed.

Fig. 39: Window of the digital outputs

Identical to the display of digital inputs the physical status of each relay is shown under column “Control Value” by a grey circle next to the indication of the present logical value. A yellow marking within a grey circle means that the related relay contact is closed.



5.11.2 Setting of digital outputs manually Manual actuating of digital outputs is only possible from the “Expert” level. If, however, the user has the necessary rights to actuate/control the outputs manually then the square on the lower left side of the window is available. After clicking here the window display changes to the illustration shown on fig. 40.

Fig. 40: Digital outputs with activated control possibility

Each of the relays can now be selectively actuated by mouse click on the relevant square. Has an output be activated in this way, the actual actuating process can be started by mouse click on but-ton “Switch State ON/Off”. This refers to the selected output, i.e. even if several relays are acti-vated, only the marked output is actuated after mouse click of that button. Important! Under certain circumstances the manual actuation of digital outputs can lead to destruction of the inverter system! For this reason it is advisable to be very careful with this function.



5.12 Commissioning

5.12.1 General The purpose of the commissioning mode is to help the engineer on site with the commissioning of a CONCYCLE® Wind converter system. The commissioning mode of the CONCYCLE® System Tools can be selected at any given time with an existing connection to the system. The only pre-condition is that the system is standstill (which should be the normal condition of a system that has not yet been commissioned). Clicking on “Commissioning Wizzard” in the “Display” menu opens the commissioning mode main window (fig. 41). Alternatively, this window can also be displayed via the key combination Strg.+W.

Fig. 41: Commissioning mode main window

The list on the left of the commissioning mode window shows the necessary commissioning steps. This list is compiled individually for the respective system configuration when the window is opened. Successfully completed steps are shown in the list with a green tick. The steps still to be carried out are indicated by exclamation mark symbols. There are also two buttons at the bottom of the window for moving back or continuing with the indi-vidual commissioning steps. When the list of commissioning steps is displayed, the next step can be selected with the arrow keys. Alternatively, a step can be selected in the list directly with the mouse. All successfully completed steps as well as the next step to be carried out can be selected. The re-spective commissioning step selected in the list is displayed in the right half of the commissioning window. When the program is started, the starting page shown in fig. 41 is initially displayed.



Note: As the System Tool compiles the steps necessary for system commissioning dynamically, it can take a while until the commissioning window is displayed. During this time, the normal cursor changes to a wait cursor. If the commissioning mode is ended before all necessary steps are completed, the warning mes-sage shown in fig. 42 is displayed.

Fig. 42: Warning message when leaving the commissioning mode

The commissioning mode can be left by clicking the mouse on the "Yes" button. If the "No" or "Cancel" button is selected, the previous screen is displayed. With some commissioning steps, faults can occur while carrying out specific steps. In this case, the System Tool informs the user by displaying the following message:

Fig. 43: Fault notification

After acknowledging this message, the system information window is displayed (fig. 44) showing all active fault and warning messages. It is also possible to rest these faults by clicking the mouse on the "Reset" button.

Fig. 44: Fault message window



5.12.2 Individual commissioning steps

5.12.2.1 Welcome screen The welcome screen is displayed when the commissioning mode is started. No user actions are necessary here.

5.12.2.2 Commissioning type For systems with activated air conditioning, the commissioning type must initially be determined. For this purpose, the user must define whether this is hall or field commissioning. For systems not configured for air conditioning, this page does not appear in the commissioning assistant.

Fig. 45: Commissioning type



5.12.2.3 Time setting This commissioning screen serves for setting the time in the CSC. The group field at the top of the screen in fig. 46 shows the time read out of the CSC, while the group field below shows the current PC time. The PC time is constantly updated and can be transferred to the device time entry fields by clicking on the "Synchronize times" button.

Fig. 46: Time setting in CSC

When the "Reload values from CSC" button is selected, the current device time is read out from anew and entered in the entry fields of the CSC group field. The user can also enter the required time setting in the entry fields of the CSC group field manually. The time setting can be transferred from the entry fields of the CSC group to the device by clicking the mouse on the "Set CSC device time" button. The commissioning step is now marked as completed. If this step was not yet com-pleted, it is displayed in the list with a green tick.



5.12.2.4 Password mode selection This screen serves to select a fixed or time variable password for user level 2 for CSC operation. Fixed password: Access to the system (user level 2) takes place by entering a fixed password. This password is saved non-volatile in the CSC and is compared with the entered password when establishing a connection. The password therefore never becomes invalid. The CSC has the following factory set-tings: - Fixed password for connection of user level 2 - The password set in the device is the default password The default password is always the serial number of the CSC. Time variable password: Access to the system (user level 2) similarly takes place by entering a password. However, this password is only valid for a specific time, so that access to the device is limited to this time. Note: If the device is set to fixed password, no connection can be established if only a time variable pass-word is available for user level 2 (irrespective of whether it is valid or not). If the device is set to time variable password, no connection can be established if only the fixed password for user level 2 is known. Clicking the mouse on the "Set Device Password Security Mode" sets the password mode in the device appropriate to the option fields and the commissioning step is marked as completed. If this step was not yet completed, it is shown in the list with a green tick.

5.12.2.5 Administration Via this commissioning screen, location information can be transferred to the device. The entry field can accept any text, e.g. "70364/Buxdehude 6" The text entered in the entry field can be sent to the device by clicking the mouse on the "Set De-vice Location Information" button. It becomes part of the parameter set and can be reselected via the Parameter No. 202. The commissioning step is now marked as completed. If this step was not yet completed, it is shown in the list with a green tick.

5.10.2.6 Language setting This commissioning step sets the language used in the HMI. The user can choose between the fol-lowing two languages via the selection box: 1. English 2. National language To be noted is that the national language is the language that was loaded into the device with the aid of the device installer. Clicking on the "Set Device HMI language" button will transfer the setting to the device. This setting is part of the parameter set and can be reselected via the Parameter No. 6021. The commissioning step is now completed. If this step was not yet completed, it is shown in the list with a green tick.



5.12.2.7 Generator selection The generator to be used can be selected with the aid of this commissioning step. The user can select via the selection box one of the available generators for this system. Selecting the "Set gen-erator type" button, sets the appropriate machine parameter set in the device and marks this com-missioning step as completed. The commissioning step is now completed. If this step was not yet completed, it is shown in the list with a green tick.

5.12.2.8 Establishing fault-free condition This commissioning step serves to verify that the system is fault-free. For this purpose, a list of all active faults and alarms in the system are displayed as shown in fig. 47. The fault messages can be reset by clicking the mouse on the "Reset/Finish Step" button. If the list is empty after the reset, this commissioning step is completed. If this step was not yet completed, it is shown in the list with a green tick.

Fig. 47: List of faults

Note: This step can only be ended by a user action, i.e. if the system is in a fault-free condition, confirma-tion must still be provided via the mouse to finish the step!



5.12.2.9 Digital input test This commissioning screen tests the function of the digital inputs. The inputs to be tested are deter-mined individually by the System Tool during operation. Fig. 48 shows such a screen as an exam-ple. Entered in the list are all digital inputs to be tested with name and number. The specified num-ber corresponds to the text next to the LEDs on the device cover.

Fig. 48: Digital input test

Double click on a selected element in the list or clicking the mouse on the button below list opens a dialog box for testing the respective input (fig. 49).

Fig. 49: Digital input test dialog box



The dialog box shows the terminal to which the user must apply the +24V DC. This action must subsequently be confirmed via the button. Once the device detects the level, the same step is re-peated; however, testing takes place for an inactive signal level (0V). If the device was unable to complete the 24V test successfully, the display shows the previous indication. Only when both tests have been successfully completed is a green tick displayed in the list next to the respective digital input. When all digital inputs to be tested have been tested in this way, the commissioning step is completed and marked accordingly in the list on the left side of the commissioning window.

5.12.2.10 Relay test This commissioning screen tests the function of the relays. The relays to be tested are determined individually by the System Tool during operation. Fig. 50 shows an example of such a screen. En-tered in the list are all relays to be tested with name and number. The specified number corre-sponds to the text next to the LEDs on the device cover.

Fig. 50: Relay test

Double click on a selected element in the list or clicking the mouse on the button below list opens a dialog box for testing the respective relay. (fig. 51)



Fig. 51: Relay test dialog box

The dialog box shows the terminal to which the relay contact is connected. The relay can now be operated by clicking the mouse on the "Toggle Relay ON/Off" button. When this button is selected for the first time, the message shown in fig. 52 is initially displayed.

Fig. 52: Request to perform short-circuit test

This message requests the user to initially perform the short-circuit test for the respective terminal. This test helps to ensure that no short-circuit is present on the respective terminals. Since the re-lays in the device are unable to switch a short-circuit, it is absolutely essential that this test is suc-cessfully completed prior to a switching operation being performed. Short-circuit test: The terminals shown in the message window must be connected as briefly as possible with a wire jumper. If sparks are produced in the process, the cause must initially be located and any short-circuit eliminated before the respective relay can be operated. The device operates the respective relay after leaving the message window with "Yes". Only when the relay has been switched on and off at least once, is the “Finish successful test for this relay” available to the user. After clicking on this button, a green tick is displayed in the list next to the re-spective relay. When all relays to be tested have been tested in this way, the commissioning step is completed and marked accordingly in the list on the left side of the commissioning window.



5.12.2.11 mA input test This screen for testing the mA inputs lists the available inputs and simultaneously displays the cur-rently measured input value in mA (fig. 53).

Fig. 53: mA input test

Click the mouse on the "Finish commissioning step" button marks this step in the list with a green tick if it was not yet completed.



5.12.2.12 mA output test As fig. 54 shows, all mA outputs are displayed in the list. In this starting condition, all channels are initially marked as not tested.

Fig. 54: mA output test

The user can define the channel set values via the mouse and keyboard in the "Set point" column. Clicking in the checkbox of the channel activates the same. Fig. 55 shows a situation where the third mA output was activated with a set value of 10mA.



Fig. 55: Set value entry for output 3

When the "Set mA output" button is now selected, the System Tool sets the respective set value in the device and marks this channel with a green tick. The value displayed in the System Tool should now be able to be measured at the respective output. When all channels have been tested in this way, the commissioning step is completed and marked with a green tick in the list on the left side of the commissioning window.



5.12.2.13 Cooling system test This commissioning step is used for commissioning the converter cooling system. This step is only available for device software 2.9 and higher however. The commissioning page consists of a list of cooling system components to be tested. The CONCYCLE® System Tool individually fills this list based on the current configuration of the converter system. For this reason, the following display can differ from system to system.

Fig. 56: Cooling system test

Only the first list element can initially be tested. After this test has been successfully completed, the next list element is released for testing. This ensures that the individual components are tested in the correct sequence. After a component has been successfully tested, a green tick appears next to the respective list element. Only when all cooling system components have been successfully tested can the next commissioning step be selected. For commissioning the cooling system, there are four different components:

- Digital inputs - Measured values - Fans or pumps - Heaters

After clicking the button for testing the selected device, a test dialogue box opens with options for verifying measured values, monitoring digital inputs and controlling devices. If the component to be tested is a pump, fan or heater, these can be switched via a button in the test dialogue box. The button for successfully ending the test is only available when the respective device has been switched off and on at least once. If the component to be tested is a digital input or measured value, the user only has to visually check the indicated value. The button for ending the test is freely available. The test dialogue box also shows the current coolant temperature and current cooling system pres-sure.



5.12.2.14 Start LSC The purpose of this commissioning step is to regulate the dc link voltage to the set value. When the “Start LSC” button is selected in this window, both the set and actual dc link voltages are displayed. During the test, this button is deactivated and changes to “LSC started initialized” (fig. 57).

Fig. 57: Start LSC

The CSC initially starts by precharging the dc link circuit and on reaching the precharge voltage the LSC contactor switched on. When B6 charge voltage is subsequently reached, the LSC starts to regulate the dc link voltage to the set value. When "dc link control" system status is successfully achieved, this commissioning step is completed and marked with a green tick in the list on the left side of the commissioning window.



5.12.2.15 Start MSC This commissioning screen serves to start the machine and achieve "Standby" system status. Simi-lar to the Start LSC screen, user actions for this step are limited to button selection. Fig. 58 shows this commissioning step after clicking on "Start MSC".

Fig. 58: Start MSC

During the test, the actual speed and operating range speed limits are displayed. As in the commis-sioning step "Start LSC", the dc link is initially precharged and the LSC activated. On regulation of the dc link voltage, the machine is started via the MSC. When "Standby" system status is success-fully achieved, this commissioning step is completed and marked with a green tick in the list on the left side of the commissioning window.



5.12.2.16 Synchronization test With the aid of this commissioning screen, the synchronization can be tested by clicking the mouse on the "Start test synchronization" button. After starting the test as described in Items 5.12.2.14 and 5.12.2.15, the system assumes "Standby" status. Synchronization of the stator voltage with the supply voltage is subsequently initiated.

Fig. 59: Synchronization test

When "Synchronization" system status is successfully achieved, the display changes to that shown in fig. 59. As long as the "Finish commissioning step" button is not selected, the system synchro-nizes the stator voltage and supply voltage so that zero voltage measurement can be carried out. Zero voltage measurement: In zero voltage measurement, the voltage between the stator and supply system is measured in phases. This takes place at the contacts of the switching device that connects the system to the supply system in parallel operation with the same. The difference in voltage between the open con-tacts of this switching device should be between about 5% and 10% of the nominal system voltage. Clicking the mouse on the "Finish Commissioning Step" button switches off the system and marks this commissioning step as completed.



5.12.2.17 Parallel operation with supply system test The purpose of this commissioning step is to achieve parallel operation of the system with the sup-ply system. Only the system start button is initially available. When this button is selected, the dis-play changes to that shown in fig. 60. As in Item 5.12.2.15, the system assumes "Standby" status.

Fig. 60: Parallel operation with supply system test

When "Standby" system status is achieved, this button is available for selection. When this button is selected, the system is activated and changes to parallel operation with the supply system. When parallel operation with the supply system is successfully achieved, this commissioning step can be completed by clicking the mouse on the "Finish Commissioning Step" button. The system is switched off and a disturbance recorder file is created in the device. This commissioning step is now completed and marked in the list on the left side of the commissioning window.



5.12.2.18 Finish commissioning This is the final step of the commissioning assistant. The user has the option of resetting all com-missioning steps. When the checkbox from fig. 61 is selected and the commissioning mode ended via the "Finish" button, all steps are reset.

Fig. 61: Finish commissioning

If the commissioning has been reset, all commissioning steps have to be carried out once more successfully in order to bring the system into working conditions.



5.13 Menu bar

5.13.1 The ”File“ Menu

5.13.1.1 Open workspace By using this menu option it is possible to re-load a previously saved workspace. In order to open a file a Windows standard dialogue window is opened. After selection of a suitable file the saved workspace is restored. This means all windows and their individual parameters and measuring val-ues are shown exactly as they were at the time they were saved. Please note: But if one of the following situations applies the display can differ: - The present arrangement of the level in use does not tally with the level used when the

workspace was saved. - From the saved workspace there are some parameters/measuring values missing in the

system. - The system in use has not the same configuration as the one the workspace was saved

with.

5.13.1.2 Saving of workspace Via this menu option the workspace can be saved. If the relevant workspace has not been saved before, a Windows standard dialogue window for file saving opens. After selection of the storage location, the text and graphic windows are saved inclusively all their measuring values and param-eters.

5.13.2 The “CSC“ menu

5.13.2.1 Connecting Via this menu option the connection to a CSC4 device can be established. The server allocated in the connection options (see chapter 5.13.9.2) will be used. A window comes up (fig. 62) and re-mains active for the time the System Tool tries to establish the connection.

Fig. 62: Establishing a connection

If the connection was successfully established the software presents an additional window (fig.63), inquiring about the access right. On this window the relevant level has to be selected and the corre-sponding password to be entered. Only when connected to the system via a serial cable at the low-est level no password has to be entered.



Fig. 63: Selection of an operating level and input of password

If a connection via the service level is intended, the nature of the password to be entered is defined by the CSC4. In cases the device is configured for the use of fixed passwords (see chapter 5.13.6.2) a message referring to this appears in the dialogue window (fig. 64).

Fig. 64: Input of password for devices with fixed password for the service level

5.13.2.2 Disconnecting By mouse click on this menu option an active connection to the CSC4 is disconnected; all windows are closed and the parameter tree is deleted in the process. If there were changes on the graphic or text window, a window appears asking the user whether the changes shall be saved or not. If the dialogue is left by stating “Yes”, the configuration of the text and graphic windows prevailing at that time will be saved (see chapter 5.13.1.2).



5.13.2.3 Updating Via this menu option all measuring values and parameters contained in the text or graphic window can be updated. If parameter values have been changed and not yet saved in the control device, the window shown on fig. 44 is displayed. If this window is left by stating “Yes”, all changes will be maintained and only those measuring val-ues and parameters updated which were not altered. If this window is left by stating „No“, all changes will be discarded and the measuring values and parameters will be updated corresponding with those in the CSC4. Clicking on button “Cancel” causes only the message to disappear, an update is not carried out in this case.

5.13.2.4 Auto readout In this menu option the automatic (cyclic) update of all measuring values and parameters in the text or graphic window is switched On and Off. If parameters have already been changed the following message is issued:

Fig. 65: Message when parameters were already changed

If this window is left by stating “Yes”, all changes will be maintained and only those measuring val-ues and parameters updated which were not altered. If this window is left by stating „No“, all changes will be discarded and the measuring values and parameters will be updated corresponding with the those in the CSC4. Clicking on button “Cancel” causes only the message to disappear, a cyclic update is not carried out in this case.

5.13.2.5 Trigger initiation Via this menu option a trigger function is initiated in the CSC4. A disturbance is saved by the de-vice on the allocated drive. Dependent on configuration of the fault recorder (see chapter 5.6.3) this can take several minutes. 5.13.2.6 Copy field bus configuration file This menu option can be used to copy the field bus communication configuration file from the de-vice to the PC. Note: For CSC4 devices without field bus communication, an error message is displayed indicating that the file cannot be opened.



5.13.2.7 Update language pack Via this menu item, the language installation used by the System Tool can be updated. The device generally sends all texts to the PC in English. With the aid of the language pack, the CONCYCLE® System Tool subsequently attempts to translate these texts to the language set on the PC. All texts that are not contained in the language pack are displayed in the System Tool in English. Each CSC4 device contains the most current language pack at the time of software creation from soft-ware Version 2.5. This language pack is independent of the device software version and can there-fore be used for all previous device software versions. When the update is initiated, the CONCYCLE® System Tool initially copies the required files from the device to the PC. A check is then made to ascertain whether the language pack installed on the PC is older than the currently downloaded language pack. If this is the case, the language pack on the PC is replaced with the device version and a corre-sponding message appears. The user must now disconnect the connection to the device and re-connect so that the updated texts are available. If the language pack on the PC is newer than the one downloaded by the device, no update takes place. Furthermore, a message is displayed indicating that no update was necessary.

5.13.2.6 Re-boot of a CSC4 When this menu option is activated the control device is re-booted. This can, of course, only be done if the system is at standstill. After a successful re-boot all windows of the System Tool will be closed and the CSC4 is disconnected. When the system has been re-started a new connection process has to be initiated.

5.13.3 The “Display“ menu In this menu all the mainly used windows are incorporated. These are in detail: - Text window (see chapter 5.3) - Graphic window (see chapter 5.4) - Event recorder (see chapter 5.5) - Disturbance recorder (see chapter 5.6) - Login recorder (see chapter 5.7) - Ethernet configuration (see chapter 5.8) - System information (see chapter 5.9) - Logical input bits (see chapter 5.10) - Relays (see chapter 5.11) - Commissioning mode (see chapter 5.12) Via this menu option the following windows can be opened or closed: - Tool bar (see chapter 5.14) - Fault messages (see chapter 5.15) - Status bar (see chapter 5.16) Via option “Reset Window Placement“ it is also possible to delete saved window positions from the system register in off-line mode. Although this is not necessary for normal operation, but under cer-tain circumstances it can be possible that some windows are beyond the visible range. After click-ing “Yes” on the window with the security check (fig. 66) all windows are shown in their original size and on their original position when they are opened again.

Fig. 66: Security check prior to rest of window positions



5.13.4 “Parameter“ menu

5.13.4.1 Saving of parameters in the CSC4 When this menu option is selected all modified parameters are sent to the CSC and will be saved there. All values are then read out of the device by the System Tool again to ensure that exactly those values are shown which are set in the device. Please note: There is no check whether the values should really be saved in the CSC.

5.13.4.2 Parameter search In online mode it is possible to search for parameter names or parameter numbers in the parame-ter tree. The dialogue window for searching can be opened by the following actions: - Mouse click on button “Find“ in menu “Parameter“ - Using the key combination “Strg+F“ - Click on binoculars icon on the tool bar - Click on the relevant menu text in the context menu of the tree

Fig. 67: Window for parameter search

After one of the a/m actions this dialogue window (fig. 67) is always faded-in in such a way that the upper left area of the “Find” window corresponds with the centre of the parameter tree window. The only exception is: In case the workspace with the parameter tree is displaced so much that the search dialogue would be outside the screen, then its position will be re-arrange to appear completely in the visible range again. The fade-in procedure can be done in two different ways. If the user has activated the “Fade-in Ef-fect” under menu “Display” in the system control, the dialogue window fades slowly in and out. Should this option be deactivated, the dialogue window is faded in or out without animation. If the user clicks the button „Find“ after putting in a string, the complete parameter tree is searched for this string. Apart from the parameters also files corresponding with the string will be found as well as parameter numbers, no matter whether they are displayed with the tree or not. The user can choose from options if the search shall consider writing in capital and small letters; but it is also possible to search for complete words only. Here the allocated square has to be acti-vated. The dialogue window also saves the last 5 search strings which can be taken as new search ob-jects from the Combobox list by mouse click. If there was no conformity the user is informed accordingly via a message box. In this information the entered search string is repeated (see fig. 68).



Fig. 68: Information if a search failed

If, however, the object searched for was found in the parameter tree, the relevant parameter or file is opened and the element appears in bold-faced print. The term “Find” on the button is changed into “Find next”. Should there be several results, these will successively be shown with any further click on the “Find next” button. After all results were displayed and the user clicks again on the “Find next” button then the message shown on fig. 68 comes up again. After the message box is quitted the complete string entered in the dialogue window will be selected in order to simplify a new input. After the dialogue window is closed the new entered search string will be maintained and is shown in the dialogue window at the next search attempt (although in a selective way).

5.13.4.3 Create complete XML parameter file This menu item can be used to export the complete parameter set of the control device in a file. The Windows default file saving dialogue box is initially displayed. After selecting the file name and storage location, the System Tool successively reads out all parameters from the control device and creates from these a parameter file in XML format. This parameter file contains in addition to all available parameter information, parameter sorting data for the tree view in the work area. Note: This operation takes as long as the read operation when establishing a connection with the CSC4 for the first time.

5.13.4.4 Create single XML parameter file Analogous to parameter export from Item 5.11.4.3, an XML file containing parameter information is created here. However, the file created here only contains the number, name, unit and value of each parameter.

5.13.4.5 Copy parameter file This function is reserved for the "Expert" user level. This menu item can be used to copy the pa-rameter file from the CSC4 to the PC for use in conjunction with the PC simulation software. From software version 2.7, a test file is additionally generated in the target folder on the PC, which ena-bles the parameter file to be used with the CONCYCLE® System Tool offline.



5.13.4.6 Customer Parameter File The sub-menu items available under “Customer Parameters” are used to create and edit customer-specific parameter sets, and transfer them to a connected CSC4. A Customer Device Model is al-ways necessary to create a parameter set for a customer. The Customer Device Model contains parameters that may be imported. In addition to parameter numbers, each Customer Device Model also contains the name, the lower and upper limits of parameters and their standard values. The definition of customer-specific parameters is enabled from user level three (experts). Saving files on a CSC4 is enabled from user lever two (service). The menu items are enabled or disabled depending on the current status of CONCYCLE® System Tool and the customer parameter file.

5.13.4.6.1 Create default The menu item "Create default" enables the user to create a parameter file used to initialise all pa-rameters with their standard values. Enter your password and select the Customer Device Model. A file dialog box is displayed to this purpose that is used to select a file path and a Customer De-vice Model. The file extension of a Device Model usually reads *.CST and this extension is also suggested. The selected Customer Device Model must be compliant with the software version that is to be used in the target CSC4. Finally, a second dialog box is displayed that is used to select the location where to save the target file, i.e. the parameter file (*.CRCX) containing standard values. The dialog box also enables the user to enter or change the target file name.

5.13.4.6.2 Import CSV The menu item "Import CSV“ enables the user to download data from an existing CSV file into the structure of the customer-specific parameter file.

The following procedure applies here: Once you have entered your password, a Customer Device Model is requested. The storage loca-tion and the name of the created parameter file are selected in the next step. Finally, you are re-quested to select a CSV file exported from Excel. Two situations are possible at this stage: If the CSV file contains only one parameter set, it is automatically selected and a customer-specific parameter file is created. If the CSV file contains multiple parameter sets, a selection window is displayed that is used to se-lect the parameter set needed. Once a set has been selected, a customer-specific parameter file is created.



The following rules must be adhered to: A parameter that exists in the Customer Device Model but not in the file to be imported will be de-scribed using the standard value from the Customer Device Model. A parameter that does not exist in the Device Model, but is to be downloaded by importing, acti-vates an error message and the import process is interrupted. The reason is that if a parameter does not exist in the Customer Device Model, the parameter cannot be imported into the CSC4 at a later time.

5.13.4.6.3 Connect The menu item "Connect" is used to download a created parameter set into CONCYCLE® System Tool. The parameter set is then represented in the CSC working area where it may be further pro-cessed. No connection with a CSC4 is established in this phase. The function performs similarly to the connect function in the offline mode.

5.13.4.6.4 Disconnect The "Disconnect" function is used to close the parameter file displayed in the CSC working area. The function is available only if a parameter file is opened. If the parameters are modified in a prior step, the change is recognised by System Tool. A confirmation message will then be displayed, giving the option to cancel and to save the modified working area. The parameter set is not modi-fied and saved.

5.13.4.6.5 Save to file The menu item "Save to file" is used to save modified parameter sets. The menu item is available when a parameter set has been downloaded and modified. If the menu item is selected, a selection window appears that is used to enter the file path and file name. Once the parameter file has been saved, it remains opened in System Tool and may be further processed.



5.13.4.6.6 Save on CSC This menu item is enabled on condition that a connection is established with a CSC4, see Section 3.4. If the connection with a CSC4 is established, a parameter file may be selected that is to be copied into the CSC4. The data transfer begins automatically, once the file has been selected. A progress bar is displayed temporarily.

If the file has been successfully copied, the indication is automatically closed. If an error occurs during data transmission, an error message is displayed. The file is not transferred in such a case.

The file is not transferred in such a case. Check the connection and try to transfer the file again. The parameters saved in the file are not automatically activated, once the parameter file has been successfully transferred. A reboot of the CSC4 is required to activate the parameters, see Section 5.13.2.8 Rebooting the CSC4. The parameters contained in the parameter file are read and copied into the CSC4 parameter set during the booting process. The parameters are active following a successful reboot. If the parameter set that is copied into the CSC4 is not compatible with the software version in-stalled, the data will not be accepted and the parameter file will automatically be deleted from the CSC4.



5.13.5 “Counter“ menu

5.13.5.1 General After mouse click on the first menu entry (“Show Counter”) the window shows on fig. 69 opens. The event counters read out of the device previously are listed there. The image of this window de-pends on the individual level of use. Reset of a single counter or all counters can only be carried out from the highest level of use. If the user is permitted full access he is able to reset single coun-ters to “0” by clicking the related square and via the “Reset” button. Another square can be used for resetting all counters at once. The window is greyed out when a reset process has been initiated or when the button “Update” is clicked and it remains in this state for the time the System Tool reads the present counter values out of the device.

Fig. 69: Window showing event counters

The combination field underneath the event list additionally enables switch-over between the dis-play of the event counters and operating hour meters (fig. 70).



Fig. 70: Window showing operating time meters

Via the “Save As Text“ button the displayed readings of the counters/meters can be saved as text file on the computer of the user. Besides the Meta information this text file (fig. 71) contains the event counters as well as the working time meters.



Fig. 71: Text file showing event counters and working time meters

By mouse click on the “Print” button this list can also be printed. If all adjustments for configuration of the printer have been done in the Windows standard dialogue and acknowledged with “Printer”, the transmission process to the selected device starts. Contrary to the text file the print contains only the list shown in the counter window at that time

5.13.5.2 Export counters (*.cnt) When this menu option is selected it is possible to save event counters and operating hour meters of the CSCs on the computer of the user as counter file (*.cnt). The Windows standard dialogue for file saving will be displayed for that purpose. After the path and file names have been chosen, the user can write a comment in the dialogue window shown on fig. 72, which will then be saved as Meta information in the counter file.

Fig. 72: Window for writing a comment



Please note: Depending on the connection quality an export of counters can take a certain time because for set-ting up a counter file the System Tool reads all present counter values out of the device again. Dur-ing this time the cursor is shown as a hourglass.

5.13.5.3 Import counters (*.cnt) When this menu option is selected it is possible to import event counters and operating hour me-ters of the CSCs out of a counter file (*.cnt). The Windows standard dialogue for file loading will be displayed for that purpose. After the path and file names have been chosen the System Tool dis-plays the Meta information of the counter file entered before saving.

Fig. 73: Meta information written on the counter file

By clicking “Cancel” on the dialogue window shown on fig. 73 the user can close the process be-fore the counter values are imported. Only after the dialogue window has been closed by clicking button “OK”, the counter values will be imported.



5.13.6 ”Security“ menu

5.13.6.1 Fixed password for level 1 users Via this menu option the password for access of level 1 users can be: a) Set b) Reset and c) Read out As to a) The dialogue window shown on fig. 74 is displayed on the System Tool. Here the chosen password is put in, acknowledged and then transmitted to the CSC by clicking ”OK“.

Fig. 74: Dialogue window for the user to enter the password

If transmission of the new password to the device failed (e.g. due to communication problems), this is indicated by the error message shown on fig. 75.

Fig. 75: Error due to communication failure

If check of the password failed because of a writing error, for instance, the following error message is shown:

Fig. 76: Window when password check failed



As to b) When clicking this menu option the level 1 password in the CSC is reset to the standard value saved in the device. As to c) By this function the actual password for level 1 is read out of the device and then displayed in plain text.

5.13.6.2 Fixed passwords level 2 Via this menu option passwords for access of level 2 users can be: a) Replaced b) Added c) Deleted d) Activated e) Deactivated and f) Reset As to a) The System Tool shows the following dialogue window:

Fig. 77: Replacement of a password for level 2

The password to be replaced and the new one (2 * for check purposes) have to be put into the allo-cated fields. After mouse click on “OK” the password list for level 2 is searched for the password to be replaced. If this could not be found, the error message shown on fig. 78 is issued. Otherwise the existing password will be replaced by the new one. (Provided the check for writing errors was suc-cessful)



Fig. 78: Error message that password could not be found

As to b) The System Tool shows the following dialogue window:

Fig. 79: Password to be added

Analog by setting level 1 password the chosen password is now entered twice and then transmitted to the CSC by mouse click on “OK”. Should the communication fail, the error message shown on fig. 75 is issued. If the check fails, the error message shown on fig. 76 is issued. In case the new password does already exist in the password list for level 2 users, the following error message is displayed:

Fig. 80: Error message when the password already exists



The password list for level 2 is limited to 5 different passwords. If this maximal number is reached, no further password can be added and the information window shown on fig. 81 is displayed:

Fig. 81: Message when the max. password number is reached

As to c) If there are at least 2 entries on the password list for level 2, the System Tool dialogue window shown on fig. 83 is displayed. Should there be only one password, the following information win-dow is displayed:

Fig. 82: Message if there is one password listed only

Fig. 83: Delete password

In the first entry field the password is stated which should be deleted out of the list for level 2. After mouse click on “OK” the requested password is deleted. In case the entered password could not be found in the list, the error message shown on fig. 78 appears.



As to d) Via this menu option the use of the fixed password for level 2 users can be activated. This means when establishing a connection a non time-dependent password has to be used for this level. Only after the security inquiry has been acknowledged with “Yes”, the activation is carried out. As to e) Via this menu option the use of the time-variable password for level 2 users can be activated. This means when establishing a connection a password has to be used for this level which is valid at the instant of connection. Prior to activation a security inquiry has to be answered. As to f) When this menu option is clicked the level 2 password is reset to the standard value saved on FRAM of the device. Please note: After this action the password list in the CSC contains one password only (the standard one).



5.13.6.3 Generation of one-day passwords for level 3 Assisted by the dialogue window shown on fig. 84 expert passwords can be generated which are only valid for the day they are entered.

Fig 84: Window for generating one-day passwords

Here only the name of the customer has to be stated in the relevant field and the date of validity to be chosen. By mouse click on button “Generate Password” the chosen password is generated and written in the grey field as shown on fig. 85.

Fig. 85: Generated one-day password

This generated password can then be saved in a text file by mouse click on „Create File ….“ .



5.13.6.4 Service Transfer Via this menu option the needed password to access the CSC4 can be changed to another Customer or Service Provider. In this case a one-day password Level 3 is needed. It will be provided by your local Support Cen-ter. Please see last page for contact details. After you configured your connection please enter the provided one-day password shown in fig.86

Fig.86: Please enter new password here

Before the password will be changed finally, you have to confirm the change.

Fig. 87: Please confirm the password change

The change to the new password will be verified see fig. 88 The new password is now necessary to connect to the device.

Fig. 88: New password was set successfully



5.13.7 The ”Tab“ menu Options of this menu are only available if connection to a CSC exists and either the text window or graphic window is open or if both windows are open. By clicking option “Insert Tab Left of acitve” or “Set Tab At The Right” it is possible to set additional tabs in the activated window (Text or Graphic). Before the action is started, the System Tool asks for the name of the new tab. If there are several tabs in the activated window the menu options for relocating will be available and so all tabs can be arranged according to the individual applications. The activated tab can be deleted or re-named by options “Delete Active Tab” or “Rename Active Tab”.

5.13.8 The “Window“ menu This menu contains Windows standard functions for arranging windows displayed on the screen at the time in the following different ways: - Overlapping arrangement of all open windows - Arrangement of the opened windows side by side - Arrange icons The menu contains also a list of all opened windows allowing each window to be selected individu-ally. After a window has been selected it is displayed in full.

5.13.9 The “Option“ menu

5.13.9.1 Language selection When this menu option is clicked a dialogue window is opened with a list of all languages available (fig. 89).

Fig. 89: Dialogue window for selecting the required language

At first the “OK“ button is not available but is activated as soon as a language is marked. After a new language is selected and acknowledged with “OK”, a message window is opened by the Sys-tem Tool (fig. 90) informing the user that the software has to be re-started and so the change can take effect.

Fig 90: Message window after language selection



5.13.9.2 Connection definitions The tab dialogue for these options comprises the property page “Connection“ (fig. 91). Here the connection to a CSC4 can be configurated.

Fig. 91: Connection settings

The property page has option fields for the selection of servers, a button for configuration of the server selected as well as two squares for dynamic timeout and for display of the options when the connection is established. There are only those option fields available for the servers listed in the system registration. This button can be selected to configure both the serial server and TCP/IP server. After clicking the mouse on this button, the dialogue window shown in fig. 92 appears for configuration of the serial server. When this window is opened, all existing COM ports in the sys-tem are read-out and entered in the Combobox. The default is the value currently used by the se-rial server.

Fig. 92: Dialogue window for the COM Port setting of the Serial Server

The Serial-base Server can only be mapped by the user by mouse click on the chosen COM Port. After he has made his choice and acknowledged with “OK” the accept button of the configuration dialogue is activated. The new port setting is only activated after that button is clicked (or when acknowledged with “OK”). For configuration of the TCP/IP server, the target IP address required for the Ethernet connection must be known. This can be defined here by the user.



Dynamic timeout can be switched on or off by clicking the allocated square. Normally this option is deactivated. In case of communication problems, for instant, and activated dynamic timeout the time limit till a timeout error occurs is varied by the software. Please note: The dynamic timeout does not only bring advantages because if the communication fails com-pletely, it may take up to one minute until the software reacts to inputs of the user again. If the second square is activated the dialogue shown on fig. 93 is displayed with every connection.

Fig. 93: Server options for connection

Each time a connection is established the desired server can be selected. Display of this window, however, can be prevented by activating the relevant square (but this option can be activated again when required). The respective configuration is shown in brackets next to the connection path in the dialogue box. For a serial server, this is the COM port used and for a TCP/IP server, this is the configured IP address. The third check box activates the offline mode, which is reserved only for Woodward experts. See also item 4.3.1.



5.13.9.3 Setting the CSC4 system time The tab dialogue for these settings includes the property page “Time / Date“ (fig. 94). Assisted by this page the system time in the CSC can be set or be synchronized with the PC time.

Fig. 94: Property page for time setting in the CSC

But these settings are only available when connected to the CSC4. If not neither the input fields nor the button are accessible (fig. 95).

Fig. 95: Property page without connection to the CSC. CSC



When this page is selected, the current time and date are read out of the CSC4 and displayed; the PC time is also shown in the lower display fields. By clicking the button “Reload values from CSC” the CSC4 time can be updated. In contrast, the PC time display is automatically actualized every second. If button “Synchronize Times” is clicked the data shown on the PC display fields will be copied into those of the CSC and button “Accept” is available. Alternatively to the synchronizing process the user can also put in data directly into the CSC display fields (but digits only can be put in). The application allows only 2 digits for the display fields “Hour”, “Minute”, “Day” and “Month” or 4 digits for display field “Year”. After clicking on ”Accept“ or ”OK“ the data shown in the CSC display fields is transmitted to the device; when the time has been set the window is closed upon clicking the “OK” button. If time setting on the CSC4 has failed this can be caused by: - Communication problems o r - Input of wrong data by the user The application is able to distinguish between these two failures sources and respective message windows are generated (fig. 96 or 97). But in case of communication problems and click on the “Ac-cept” button the application will keep trying to set the time. The error message concerning commu-nication problems will only be displayed when time setting was initiated by click on the “OK” button. Then the window will not be closed even if acknowledged on the message window.

Fig. 97: Message window after wrong input by the user



5.13.9.4 Password reminder This register card can be used to set a reminder for passwords that are shortly due to expire when establishing a connection to the device. This function can be parameterised separately for operator communication level 2 and operator communication level 3 passwords.

Fig. 98: Password Reminder

Fig. 99 shows an example of establishing a connection using a password shortly due to expire.

Fig. 99: Password Reminder at establishing connection



5.13.10 Menu “?“ This menu can be used to display the user manual and version information relating to the CONCYCLE® System Tool. The CONCYCLE® System Tool waits for the pdf document "UserGuide.pdf" in the software installation directory. If this document is present at the defined lo-cation, it can be opened with the mouse or by pressing the F1 key. Note: This manual is not part of the CONCYCLE® System Tool installation program. Users must copy this manual in pdf format to the System Tool installation directory to use the manual display menu op-tion.
