1 Description
MICROMASTER 4 drive inverters can be parameterized using the
DriveMonitor and STARTER commissioning tools. In order to transfer the
values saved in DriveMonitor into STARTER, several steps are necessary,
that will be presented as follows using as an example a
MICROMASTER 440.
Application:
Converting a MICROMASTER 4 DriveMonitor data backup (data archive)
into a data backup (data archive) based in STARTER.
Note:
This procedure only applies to the MICROMASTER 4 type series.

Item-ID: 32582476
1.1 The procedure in detail:
1. Save all of the files to be converted (devices) into a folder used for this
purpose - e.g. “DriveMonitor Convert”.
2. Save the attached “ExecuteDNL.txt” script file in the same
“DriveMonitor Convert” folder.
3. In STARTER, set-up the same devices, that are to be converted from
DriveMonitor, and were saved in the “DriveMonitor Convert” folder with
the same firmware. In our particular example, MICROMASTER 440
V2.1.
4. Set-up a script folder for this drive by clicking on the just generated
MICROMASTER 440 drive using the righthand mouse key; after this,
click on “Experts” (lefthand mouse key) and on “Insert script folder”
(Fig. 1-1).
Figure 1-1 Insert a script folder
A new “SCRIPTS” folder is then displayed in the MICROMASTER 440 tree

(Fig. 1-2).

Item-ID: 32582476
5. Import the “ExecuteDNL.txt” script from your “DriveMonitor Convert”

folder into STARTER as shown in the following.
– Using the righthand mouse key, click on the “SCRIPTS” tab (Fig. 1-
2).
Figure 1-2 Import the script file
– Click on the “ASCII Import...” and open the “ExecuteDNL.txt” script

file (Fig. 1-3).
Figure 1-3 Open the script file

Item-ID: 32582476
– Name the script file that you opened and acknowledge with “OK”
(Fig. 1-4).
Figure 1-4 Name the script file

Item-ID: 32582476
6. Execute the script by clicking with the righthand mouse key on the script
and clicking “Accept and execute”;
or open the script by double clicking on it and then pressing the button
“Accept and execute” (Fig. 1-5).
Figure 1-5 Execute the script file
7. Transferring the requested file (Fig. 1-6):

– Open the “DriveMonitor Convert” folder that you previously set-up
and open the MICROMASTER 440 V2.1.dnl file saved there.
Figure 1-6 Transfer the requested file

Item-ID: 32582476
8. After the script was run and the values of the P parameters were
transferred from the DNL file into the STARTER drive of the project,
save these in the usual fashion (Fig. 1-7).
Figure 1-7 Save the converted data
9. Proceed in the same way with each drive that is to be converted from
DriveMonitor into STARTER. After all of the data has been transferred,
the script folder can be deleted (for every drive).
