2.7.2 KEB-USB-Serial Converter

Part No. 0058060-0040
Converts USB into serial DIN 66019 II and HSP5 D-SUB 9-pole
 The USB-serial-converter represents a virtual COM interface

 It is not a customary USB serial converter, because the serial protocol is not transferred completely
 On USB‘s side always DIN66019II is running
 A connection of several USB-serial-converters, each with a serial- or HSP5-unit, is possible
 Both interfaces are potential separated
 Don´t need an external voltage supply
 The 9-pole serial side supports with auto detection:
 DIN66019 based on of RS 232
 HSP5 (TTL level)
 38.4 kBaud should be used as baud rate

Overview
 Max. baud rate is 115,2 kBaud

 No support for automatic adjusting of baud rates
 Baud rate can be adjusted with COMBIVIS 6
 Cannot be used for firmware flashing
File Transport Program FTP / Drive Storage
Transferring of receipts by 17.2 FTP Program or the wizard drive storage to COMBIVERT F6/S6 is possible
from Version V2.4
Matching USB converters are signed with “FTP ready”.
Driver installation
While installation of COMBIVIS 6 on Windows 7, 8 or 10, the driver for the KEB USB Converter will be in-
stalled automatically. If it is not wanted it can be disabled at setup:
The signed driver “kebcdc.inf” can be found in the COMBIVIS 6 installation folder “C:\Pro-
grams\KEB\COMBIVIS_6\Drivers”.

Overview
At some Windows7 versions a driver of STMicroelectronics is installed automatically. This can be used with
COMBIVIS 6 without limitations. But the name “KEB device” is not given in the “W7- control panel”. For this
the KEB driver has to be installed manually.
The KEB-USB converter 0058060-0020 is no longer manufactured. It has basically the same properties, but
no potential separation. Due to data transport problems this should not be used on COMBIVERT F6 / S6.
Please note at COMBIVERT F5/B6 on HSP5 interface:
Node addresses are not specified in HSP5 interface of the USB-serial converter. So COMBIVIS 6 will find a
device on each scanned address!
E.g.: While scanning address 0 and 1 the same device will be found and included twice, regardless of which
current node address is adjusted.
So, search for connection by HSP5 only on one address!
In "Connect to device" remove the checkmark "Node address autodetection", otherwise the device will be
integrated in the project up to 240 times! Typically, node address 1 is used.

Overview

Result:
Prevent the standard association of the file extension ".project" with CV:

Overview
"Setup_COMBIVIS_studio_6_V6.6.0_B227_R17_(TC1).exe" /MERGETASKS="!associatePro-
jectFileExtension"
This command can also be combined with the above "Types" parameter.

Start-Up
3 Start-Up
Handling of a KEB device in COMBIVIS 6 requires at every time generating a new project or starting an ex-
isting project.
Communication set-up to the device can be done

 Via setting a new project and project assistant (see chapter 3.1)
 Or directly by scanning of interfaces (see chapter 3.2)
 Or setting of communication values directly at known hardware (see chapter 3.3)
At last both a temporary project is generated in the background. It can be saved later by menu “File” →“Save
project as…”
If only an existing parameter list may be loaded to the KEB COMBIVERT, the function “Download param-
eter list” on the start page can be used (see chapter 3.6).

General Adjustments

Window Layout
7 Window Layout
Reset window layout:
All changes in the window layout can be reset by: Menu bar: “Window” → “Reset Window Layout”
Change window layout manually:
The data tabs (editor-window, scope, parameter list…) can be displayed one below the other or side by side:
Activate the data tab group which is to relocate – choose task menu “Window” → “New Horizontal or New
Vertical Tab Group”.
Alternative:
Click on data tab which is to relocate, hold the key and put it to the middle of the screen. A cross for the ori-
entation will appear. If the data tab will be arranged above, below, on the right or on the left side depends on
the selection (blue deposited area).

Window Layout
The window can be shifted superimposed to the actual COMBIVIS window. At multiple screens using the
window can be pushed to the other screen. The pushed window may be placed anywhere at the screen by
mouth pointer. To reset it may be placed on the centre of the orientation cross.
Data tabs which are arranged one below the other or side by side can be rearranged by drag and drop to be
placed as flags.

Window Layout
Same behaviour when the flag is pulled to the centre of the orientation cross (see before).

and will be add to the project (Offline)
Assign to existing device: parameter list will be add to

a device of the project. No check of compatibility!
Choose one device of the project. The Firmware ID

(Config-ID) is compared between list and device: or-
ange=different
If there are parameters of several devices in the list (only at .cvxpl lists), it can be chosen which device of the
list will match which device in the project.
The new added parameter list will be opened directly in the editor

Parameter Lists
Open parameter list without open project:
A stored parameter list can be opened directly from Windows Explorer by double click or with button “Open

“OK”.
8.10 Changing of Device Reference

The device reference of a parameter can be effected by double-click on the device reference number.
The change of one or more device references can be effected by marking of the corresponding lines in the
column “DRef” → “right mouse key” → “Edit Device-Reference” → choose new device reference → “OK”.

Parameter Lists
8.11 Upload from Drive Controller into Parameter List

Definition: with "Upload" is meant the reading of data from the KEB device into COMBIVIS.
Open the control release or the STO inputs before upload, because
WARNING at upload some pointer can be changed. Especially when values are
written by bus system at the same time an unexpected moving of
the drive can occur.
Carrying out the upload into an opened parameter list:
a) Click on icon in the tool bar, or:

b) Click right mouse key in the parameter window, choose “Upload list”, or:
c) Tap key “F5” and answer the following questions with “Yes”.
The column “Offline value” will become overwritten with the values (online values) which are adjusted in the
device.

Parameter Lists
Be sure that the device reference in the list matches the target device´s reference!
Otherwise adapt the reference of the list (See 8.10 Changing of Device Reference).
8.12 Parameter Download

Definition: with "Download" is meant the transfer of data from COMBIVIS to the KEB device.
Open the terminal control release or the STO inputs before down-
WARNING load of parameter list into the device, because some parameters can
be written only at open control release terminal. And an unexpected
moving of the drive can occur.
If only one existing parameter list is to be loaded into a KEB COMBIVERT, the function "Download of a pa-
rameter list" can be used on the start page (see chapter 3.6 Direct Download of a parameter list).
Carrying out the download of an opened parameter list:
 Click on icon in the tool bar, or:

 Click right mouse key in the parameter window, choose “Download List”, or:
 Tap key “F4” and answer the following questions with “Yes”.
The values, which are adjusted in the device, will become overwritten with the values of the column “Offline
Values”. Only the writeable parameters which are actually in the list will get overwritten. All the rest will re-
main unaffected.
Be sure that the device reference in the list matches the target device´s reference!
Otherwise adapt the reference of the list (See 8.10 Changing of Device Reference).
Parameter-Download from a parameter list to several devices:
Parallel up-/download from/to several devices (here: DRef 0 and 1) from a list is possible.
Each parameter is dedicated to one device. Therefor the suitable target-CFG-IDs have to be registered.
Missing CFG-IDs will be added at up/download optionally.

Parameter Lists
Parameters can be excluded from downloading if they are set in the R/W column to "Read only".
8.13 Renaming Parameter List

Double-click slowly in the navigator on parameter list’s name and rename.

Parameter Lists
8.14 Import of Parameter List

External parameter lists can be imported into an existing list. The previous content will be overwritten.
Click with right mouse key in the parameter list → “File” → “Import” → “COMBIVIS 5 / 6 Files”.
At .dw5- or .wr5-lists allocate the device reference of the new parameters. At .cvxpl-lists the device reference
is still kept: Check and change if needed.
8.15 Comparing Parameter Lists Directly

On- and offline values can be compered in a parameter list directly by context menu: Right mouse key →
“Advanced” → “Enable quick-compare”
In column “Online value”:

Green: On-/ offline values equal
Red: On-/ offline values unequal
Yellow: Parameter not existing

Parameter Lists
Please note:
If the parameter list is designed with indirect set pointer, all parameters in all sets will be compared only with
1 set (the set to which the set pointer Fr09 is adjusted). For an expedient comparing use direct set or CiA
301 addressing for the parameter list. (See 8.18 Parameter backup)
Some parameter values depend on pointer positions (e.g. Ud16, Ud22, In24 …). Online (in the device) these
parameters are shown only once. In a complete data saving list these parameters are shown each by each
with the related pointer. So the different list parameters are compared every time with the same device pa-
rameter!
Example: Ud15 (CP-selector) is the pointer for Ud16 (CP-Address). In Ud15 one of 36 possible parameters
and in Ud16 the related (application-) parameter address can be chosen. In a data saving list all 36 Ud15
and Ud16 must be listed, but online, in the device, Ud15 shows every time the same value. That gives at
comparing once an equal and 35 times an unequal value.

Parameter Lists
8.16 Comparing Parameter Lists

A parameter list can be compared with an actual device adjustment or with the offline values of another pa-
rameter list.
Also two different comparing modes are available:

 Line by line comparing mode
 Advanced mode, especially for offline-offline comparison, which is able to detect blocks of belonging
parameters. By this missing or too much parameter can be identified and marked.
Find by context menu - right mouse key → “Compare list”
8.16.1 Online Comparison

Comparing of a parameter list’s offline values with actual online values in a device generates a new parame-
ter list with the different values of the device. The values of the parameter list are shown also in the offline
column in the new difference list.

Parameter Lists
Mode of com-
parison
Settings of
comparison
It is possible to compare one list with parameters of several devices in parallel.
8.16.2 Offline Comparison

Comparing of a parameter list’s offline values with another offline parameter list creates a new list with the
unequal values of the 2nd list.
Comparing mode
Settings of com-
parison
Comparison method
There are two different comparison methods:
Line-by-line comparison mode:

Parameter Lists
Only the values in the same lines will be compared, independent which parameter is in this line! Displace-
ments in the list, e.g. by additional parameters will cause in a wrong result!
This method works if both list come from equal device e.g. backup before and after a changing
Advanced “Diff” algorithm:
This mode identifies groups of parameters which are in the same line on both lists. By this missing parame-
ters or too much parameter can be identified.
Please check the result. It is not guaranteed that all differences are found.
If the list is most in different direction a satisfying result is impossible.
Example:
Two parameter lists with parameters which are not included at the other list. Also at different adjustments at
parameters which are in both lists.
Result:
Yellow: parameters with different adjustments.
Green/grey: Parameters missing in one of both lists.

Parameter Lists
8.17 Convert Addressing of Parameter Lists

With this command the addressing mode of a parameter list can be changed. E.g. a set addressed list into a
list with subindex addressing/CIA 301 and vice versa. Also an indirect addressed list can be changed to di-
rect addressing.

Parameter Lists
Current addressing mode of list
Addressing mode after conversion
Mark if ARRAY parameters are in the list
New additional list with result
Overwrite the current list
8.18 Parameter Backup

A parameter backup is useful after the completion of the machine function or before a planned change of the
setting. If necessary, the functionality of the axis has then been saved for a later device replacement.
The parameter backup generates a parameter list in the project. This can be exported.
In the wizard for the F6 / H6 / S6 / T6 / P6 there is also the backup function. This generates a backup file,
which can be converted to a parameter list in the project (see chapter 10.1.1.1. Basic Settings).
For all KEB COMBIVERT:
Open → “Tools” → “Parameter Saving”
All parameters of all devices can be saved in one list!

Parameter Lists
Choose devices you want to save from

Choose if device- and/or operator parameters are to save
Choose how to address the parameters. For

explanation see below
Indirect set addressing possible only at F5, B6

und parts of G6
“Start”→ Upload starts.

An interruption is possible with “Abort”.
After upload is finished a window for adjustment of storage location will open.
This list can be integrated in the project or it can be stored externally.
An external storage is only possible in COMBIVIS6-format (.cvxpl).

With reopen and “export” function it is also possible to generate a list in .dw5-format.
Parameter list design with indirect set addressing:
Design of the list:

 Set pointer Fr09 = 0

Parameter Lists
 All set programmable parameters of set 0 and all not set programmable parameters
 All set programmable parameters of set 1
…..
 Operator parameters
If the drive controller works in contouring mode (synchronous bus mode) the indirect set addressing
has to be used!
Parameter list design with direct set addressing, joined parameters:
Without set pointer, each parameter belongs direct to one set or several sets
Design of the list:

 Parameter X of set 0
……
 Parameter Y of set 0
……
…….
All not set programmable parameters are written in set 0
At subindex / CiA 301 addressing “joined parameters” is used always!
Parameter list design with direct set addressing, joined sets:
Without set pointer, each parameter belongs direct to one set or several sets.
Design of the list:

 All set programmable parameters of set 0 and all not set programmable parameters
…..
8.19 CP Parameter
CP-parameters are parameters displayed in the device display at COMBIVERT F5, B6, and G6 in a separate
menu. The CP-parameters show selectable application parameters.
In COMBIVIS 6 there is no actual CP parameter menu. This means that no operation is possible like on the
display of the device.
A list can be created which shows the assignment of CP parameter and application parameter.
→ Click with right mouse key on the device in the navigator → “Create CP parameter list”.

Parameter Lists
In the column “#” the number of the CP parameter is shown. The parameter is the assigned application pa-
rameter.
For example in the picture above: CP03 shows “ru00 inverter state”
Please note:
 The assignment of the CP parameter is read out while creating the list. A subsequent change in the
device is not reflected in the list!
 A scaling or set assignment is not considered!
8.20 Save / Export Parameter List

A parameter list can be exported from the project into following formats:
“.cvxpl”= COMBIVIS 6-format – several devices in the list
“.dw5”= COMBIVIS 5-format - only 1 device in the list
Or as working list in “.wr5”= COMBIVIS 5-format
A “.wr5” list does not store any values, just a list of (online) parameters!

Parameter Lists
Parameter lists to be used on COMBICONTROL C6, F5-LCD operator or F6 operator must be saved in
".dw5" format.
Select parameter list in Navigator → right-click Export → select storage format → select storage location.
Alternatively from open parameter list: right-click → Export → select format:
EtherCAT CoE startup command file

A parameter list can also be exported to an EtherCAT compatible XML format.
This list can be transferred, for example, as a start-up list to an EtherCAT compliant PLC (COMBICONTROL
C6, TwinCAT 3.x).
Select parameter list in Navigator → right mouse click → Export → EtherCAT CoE startup command file.

Scope
9 Scope

 Direct attach and save with the project
 Total up to 16 channels per scope
 COMBIVERT F5 / B6 / G6: Up to 4 channels per device work in fast Scope mode, (2x32-Bit + 2x16-
Bit) or (1x32-Bit + 3x16-Bit) or 4x16-Bit parameter length. The order does not matter.
 COMBIVERT F6 / H6 / S6: no fast Scope mode up to firmware version 2.0. From version 2.1 up to
four 32-Bit parameters can be used in fast Scope mode (Service 21).
 Display as dot, line, step curve or interpolated curve
 It is possible to record channels in all devices of the project at the same time

 Extensive zoom-functions
 Auto scaling function (splaying of the curve to the whole X- and Y-range)
 Y-axis additionally with parameters unit
 Import of .sc5-files (COMBIVIS 5) is not possible
9.2 Add Scope to the Project

Following possibilities are offered for to add a scope
 A new, empty scope
 Import an external scope with file extension “.sc6” or “.xml”
 A scope with the same adjustments as an existing
9.2.1 Add a New Scope
Click on icon in the tool bar.
→ Add a new scope:

Scope
→ Name the new scope and add:
Alternative way: Right mouse key on “Project” → “Add Object” → “COMBIVIS Scope”

Scope
Or: in the tool bar: icon “Add Object”→ “COMBIVIS Scope”
Note: Only one scope can be active at the same time!

With each scope one recording can be saved with the project.
Channels and adjustments can be different in each scope.
9.2.2 Open an External Scope

External stored scopes can be opened in a current project or directly with a temporary project.
In a project click on icon in the tool bar.

Scope
→ Add a new scope:
→ Set hook at import from file → choose the file → open:
→ Choose to which device the scope channels shall belong → OK

Scope
Different channels in the opened scope can belong to different devices of the project.
Directly with temporary project in back ground:
Choose scope file in Windows Explorer, then double-click or in context menu “Open with….”
On Start Page with button “Open Scope”

Scope
9.2.3 Add a Scope with Similar Settings – Copy Scope

A second scope may be recorded with the same adjustments at a later time than the first one. So a compari-
son can be done e.g. after changing of parameters. For that it is possible to copy a scope to a second one
identical scope. When the new scope is started the old curve will be overwritten. It saves a new channel as-
signment and new adjustment settings.
Copy scope:
By “copy” and “paste” in the navigator, it is easily possible to create a similar scope.

Scope
9.3 Scope Basic Settings

It is possible to configure basic setting in window “KEB Scope-Settings”. These adjustments will be pre-set
always when a new scope will be opened.
Menu bar → “Tools” → “Options” → in window “KEB Scope-Settings”
In window “Settings” in scope itself settings can be adjusted which are valid only for this scope.

Scope
Description for scope
Online (direct display of recorded values in

CV6) / Offline mode (see there)
Display / design of cursor, grid and leg-

end
Basis of time axis (X-axis)
Trigger option (Identification of special

occurrences in recording – see there)
Time gap between 2 measured points:

0 = shortest possible time
Data channel is reserved only for scope
Cursors snap into measured value
Limitation of communication:
Lock channels: The specified parameter on a channel can be accessed and queried only by Scope. Other
parameters are accessible.
Exclusive communication: All communication with the devices is limited to the scope. Simultaneous change
of a parameter is not possible (Also the test run wizard of the x6-devices no longer works). At disabled func-
tion parameters can be adjusted while scope is running and displays changes coevally (e.g. for speed con-
troller adjustment).
In the default setting (both functions off), the communication is split between the read-out scope channels
and all device parameters visible in other windows. The scope scan rate is therefore faster if all editor win-
dows are hidden.
9.4 Channel Configuration / New Channel

Channel allocation
In window “New Channel” a parameter can be chosen directly for this channel.

9.6 Fast Scope Mode

The fast Scope mode depending on the device type is a possibility of fast and simultaneous transmission of
measured values. It works like a process data communication
 COMBIVERT F5 / B6 / G6: Up to 4 channels per device work in fast Scope mode, (2x32-Bit + 2x16-
Bit) or (1x32-Bit + 3x16-Bit) or 4x16-Bit parameter length. The order does not matter.
 COMBIVERT F6 / H6 / S6: no fast Scope mode up to firmware version 2.0. From version 2.1 up to
four 32-Bit parameters can be used in fast Scope mode (Service 21).
Typically the first chosen channels are placed automatically in fast Scope mode, if it is available.
An assignment of parameters outside the fast Scope mode leads to a considerable slowdown in the record-
ing raster, because a time gap has to be offered for the additional asynchronous values.
The fast Scope mode works only in direct addressing mode.
The assignment can be changed in menu “channel” → “extended” → “Edit fast scope mode settings”:

Scope
9.7 Recording
Start recording in window “Display” as follows:
 Menu: “Scope” → “Start scope” or

With this it is possible to get very easy the RMS current of a drive over a running circuit.
If the cursors as a result of zooming are not viewable, it is possible to bring them back to the centre of the
display as follows:
“Right mouse key” → “Centre cursors”.

Scope
The displayed length of the parameter name in the cursor list can be chosen in the context menu:
9.12 Save Recordings

Several scope recordings can be add to the project and saved with it.
Each scope can save one recording (see 9.2 Add Scope).

Scope
9.13 Import / Export

With the export and import function Scope records can be stored outside of the project or external files can
be are imported. The file extension is “.sc6”.
Clears the display
Copies the displayed picture to the

clipboard
Can be used e.g. in MS-Office pro-
grams
Imports a CV6 scope file, the ac-
tual displayed curves will be
erased
Exports the actual scope curves in a

sc6 or a csv-format e.g. for saving
9.14 Export to CSV-Format

It exports the current diagram into a “.csv”-format. This allows importing the recorded curves in e.g. Excel
program.

Scope
1.)
Exports the current scope
curves in a csv-format.
2.)
Adjustments of “.csv”-format by: “Tools” → “Options” → “KEB-Scope” → “Extended”
From version 6.2.3.0 the exported values are normalized by the resolution factor. So it shows the same val-
ues as in Scope.
9.15 Trigger Function (Online)

Trigger function in online mode
This function realizes in case of long-term recordings a limitation of the saved period (e. g. period around a
defined error occurrence). Therefor a trigger event will be defined (e.g. a special drive controller status or a
reached current level).
Around this event a predefined time domain will be saved. That results in a compact scope-file also for long
term recordings.
This function will be adjusted and activated in the window “Scope” → “Settings”.
The trigger event will be placed in scope display at 0 ms on the time axis.
Triggering (Online Mode)

Scope
Trigger channel: On which

channel shall be triggered?
Which trigger pulse edge or

level?
Lead time: Saved time before

trigger event
Over travel time, saved time after

trigger event
Level, absolute relating to unit or

percentile relating to range of val-
ues
Activate trigger function
Example:

Trigger level
Lead-time Delay
9.16 Offline Mode

The Offline mode uses the function of the fast Scope mode’s 4 channels to buffer parameter values in the
device. Therefor a part of the device’s storage is reserved.

Scope
Via channel allocation recording and filling of storage will generated. The storage works like a drum store,
each new value over writes the oldest one.
The store will be frozen by a trigger event and can be read-out by scope. Because of a faster data communi-
cation in the devices than to the PC it can be recorded with a shorter time period.
Useful for:
 Shorter time period, therewith better hit rate in short peaks
 Recording without PC
 Recording of sporadically events
Characteristics:
 Available for COMBIVERT F5 but not F5-Basic, B6, F6, G6, H6, S6 and P6 drive controllers
 Contrary to online mode data won‘t be readout sequential from the drive controller and displayed but
internally saved in the drive controller
 No dependency on communication time, therefore very short frames realizable
 Up to 4 channels in one device will be recorded with chronological synchronism and in a fixed frame
(fast Scope mode)
 For data recording a connection drive controller to PC must not be active
 Flexible trigger conditions allow a selective recording of particular sequences
 Trigger will be released by a digital input.
 Also after drive controller‘s power-off the trigger requirement will remain unaffected (only F5-A/M, -S,
-H, -K, -L, -P, -E ≥ D-housing). In COMBIVERT G6 the trigger condition will be saved after Power-
Off, stored date will be lost. It is possible to trigger intermittent effects over a long period.
 At COMBIVERT F5, B6 and G6 all Parameters are recorded only from set 0.
9.16.1 Switch On and Adjustment of Time Basis

Activating of Offline mode: “Scope” → “Settings” → “Mode”
Read out of a stored recording.

Channel allocation will be read
out automatically
Adjust scanning-frequency:
Maximum number of buffered values * scan time = stored time.
That means: the smaller time base the shorter recorded time.

Scope
Max. quantity of values depends on controller‘s data space (see: 9.16.5 Offline-Storage Capacity).
9.16.2 Adjusting of Trigger Source

Digital inputs act as trigger source.
The activation of inputs initiates a saving of the scope recording.
Via software inputs IA … ID complex trigger requirements can be indirectly realized by outputs OA … OD
(COMBIVERT F5/B6/G6).
E.g. setting “F” for recording of acceleration
Or: by Out switching condition: “current > level” to input IA
Sample:
A description and 2 samples can be found by menu “Help” → “Show “FAQ” Documents” → “FAQ CV6 0003
OfflinescopeTriggerConditions (en)”. Also 2 sample parameter lists are included.

Scope
9.16.3 Adjusting of Trigger Position

Trigger position defines how many percent of the complete recording period before trigger event shall be dis-
played.
Example 20%:
= 20% of recording indicate the period before the trigger event.
Remark:
When the recording is started, the offline memory (ring memory / drum storage) is filled with values. Until the
memory has finished the first loop values from previous records can be in. If, after the start of the recording,
the trigger still comes within the first “round” and has only a little delay, it may be that the previous values
have not yet been overwritten and are displayed.
9.16.4 Applying Offline Mode
 Start offline recording via click on start/stop button or tap key “F9”.
 In the bottom of the scope-window the flashing code “wait for trigger” appears. The drive controller
waits for the trigger event.
 The code will change into “data recording” as soon as the trigger event occurs. The recording will be
realized and saved.
 If the saving process is finished, the code will change into “offline data readout”. The saved data will
be red out by Scope and displayed.
 After read out the diagram can be handled like in online-mode.

Scope
Recording without connected PC and read out afterwards
 Start offline-recording by start/stop button or tap key “F9” → at the bottom of the display is
shown blinking “Wait for trigger”→ the device is waiting for the trigger condition
 Close COMBIVIS 6 without stopping the scope, if applicable save project.
 When the first trigger condition occurs, the curves will be saved in the device´s storage. Further will
be ignored.
 Connect cables as shown before → start COMBIVIS 6 with the respective or with a new project → if
needed get connection to the device → at “Scope” → ”Settings” click on:
→ the saved data will be read out of the device and displayed in Scope.
 The saved data will be erased at F5-A/-S/-E/-H; ≥D-housing only by a new starting of offline record-
ing. The drive controller can also be switched of in the meantime. At G6/ H6/ F5-A-Servo (A-Hous-
ing) trigger requirements and saved data will be erased also by switching off of the device or by
overwriting.
For example:
Time base: 500µs / trigger source: F / trigger position: 5%
Trigger
5% 95%
9.16.5 Offline-Storage Capacity

E.g. in KEB COMBIVERT F5.A Version 4.2: ≥ D-housing:
For 1x or 2x 16-bit-parameters: approx.1900 values/channel
For 3x or 4x 16-bit-parameters: approx. 950 values/channel
For 1x or 2x 16- and 1x or 2x 32-bit-parmeters: approx. 470 values/channel
(32-bit-parameters are e.g.: position, torque, and control / status word long…)
Therewith 4 channels with 16-bit in 0.5ms time basis give approx. 0.47s recording time.
For the other drive controllers this might differ strongly.

Scope
For example: a KEB COMBIVERT G6-G has approximately 20% more space. COMBIVERT F5-C has ap-
prox. 70% less and COMBIVERT B6 approx. 86% less.

Start-up Assistants (Wizards)
10 Start-up Assistants (Wizards)

Start-up wizards are tools for an easy creating of parameter lists and parameter adjustments.
Two procedures of start-up wizards can be found:

 Online start-up wizards – all adjustments are done directly in the device.
 Offline start-up wizards – creates a parameter list, which can be stored or directly downloaded to the
device.
 Only the compatible wizards will be offered in the project.
 For “generation 5” drives (type F5, B6, G6) online and offline wizards can be found.
 For “generation 6” drives (type F6, H6, P6, S6, T6) an online wizard is offered. It can be used offline
partly. At next connection to the drive the values will be transferred to the drive.
10.1 Online Start-Up Wizard

Online wizards need a connected device, because all adjustments are done directly in the device parame-
ters.
10.1.1 Online Start-Up Wizard COMBIVERT F6/ H6/ S6/ P6/ T6.
For the new “generation 6” drive controller a step by step start-up online wizard is implemented.
It can be used also offline but then not all features can be handled.
The idea is to start-up the drive with handling of all necessary adjustments step by step.
Depending on the functions available in the device type, parts of the wizard are masked.
For each function card there is a tab “expert settings”. There, the parameters belonging to the respective
function are listed directly and allow advanced settings. The normal user is passed over it and normally does
not need to set anything.
10.1.1.1 Basic Settings

 Backup / restore to backup
The backup is saved with the project. A saved backup file can be exported as parameter list to the
navigator and from there exported out of the project.
 Device reset to factory default:

At reset the CPU is restarted, so COMBIVIS loses contact for a short time.
 Process data disabling, reconnect with former adjustments:

With active process data, the controller can overwrite certain parameters again and thus make a
manual adjustment impossible. This function only works with COMBIVERT F6-K, S6-K and H6.
 Device clock:
The clock has no runtime reserve, also no connection to the clock of the safety module (option).

Create backup
Load backup to the device
Delete backup, download to the de-

vice or export to the navigator as
parameter list
Set device to default
Disable process data (only F6-K, S6-

K, and H6)
Set clock, manually or by PC

clock
10.1.1.2 Motor
 Can be used for synchronous and asynchronous 3-phase motors
 Data of KEB Motors can be chosen by Part. No.
 Motor data can be adjusted manually and the data can be stored in a motor data base (after identifi-
cation in window “Identification”)
 Data from user motor database can be chosen.
 User data base can load or exported
 Adjustment of braking transistor
 Adjustment of temperature sensor type and fault reaction
 Data of brake and sinusoidal filter can be adjusted optimally

Leaving of the window “motor” activates the motor data in the drive controller.

Note: Servomotors type TA from KEB Antriebstechnik GmbH in Schneeberg are in the KEB motor database.
Selection must be done by 11-digit Part. No. This Part No. is actually not shown on the type plate. The num-
ber can be generated by the KEB Configurator (See 18 Configurator).
10.1.1.3 Feedback Mode

Adjustment of
 Feedback mode (v/f-mode/open loop, closed loop, encoder less closed loop)
 Encoder interface
 Encoder type and data
 At encoders with electronic type plate motor the data can be red out of the encoder (KEB Motor)
At synchronous motors the v/f-mode is not available

10.1.1.4 Controller
 Adjustments for speed controller
 Adjustments for position controller and position feedback.
 Pre adjustments depending on the inertia of motor and machine.

10.1.1.5 Protection / Warnings

 Adjustments for status word
 Adjustments for warning levels
 Application- depending warnings
 Adjustments of error reaction ramp

10.1.1.6 Identification
 Guided motor data identification
 Must not be done at KEB motors selected by KEB Motor database
 Identified motor data can be stored in user motor database

10.1.1.7 Modes of Operation

 Mode of operation regarding CiA 402 can be chosen.
 Adjustments depending on the chosen mode can be done. E.g.: ramp mode, s-curves, speed limits,
position curve settings, homing methods…
10.1.1.8 Fieldbus
 Adjustment of used bus system

 Process data adjustments

 Bus diagnosis
 Create and export of device description
 Save and handle of self-created mappings
Selection of the bus system:
Depending on the hardware of the device the bus type can be selected:
If the bus type is changed, an error is triggered in the drive (ru01 = Error! fieldbus type changed). A power-on
reset is needed to reset the error and adapt the bus type.
Assignment of process data:
The wizard offers a standard process data assignment:

“Stored Mappings” → “KEB database” → “Load” → select device type
The process data will be loaded and activated.

A customer specific assignment can be stored in the user data base and can be reloaded.
“Stored Mappings” → “User database” → “Load/Save”
Manual assignment:
The process data must be disabled!

The right-hand window lists the parameters available for process data.
These can be copied with the mouse to the Transmit PDO field or the Receive PDO field using drag & drop.
The data length is taken over correctly.
Parameters can be deleted by dragging them to the waste basket at the bottom left via the mouse, or marked
and using the “Delete” key.
“Read only parameters” cannot be dragged into the Receive PDO field.

The number of transferred objects can be restricted. This allows certain objects to be excluded from data ex-
change from right to left.
Assignment of transmit pro-
cess data
Assignment of receive process
data
Parameter available for pro-

cess data
Number of active PDOs
Enable process data
Device description file:
With the wizard, the device description file can be generated depending on the selected bus type.
With CAN and EtherCAT, this contains the current process data assignment.
EtherCAT:
“EtherCAT” → “Export device description”
If the KEB COMBICONTROL is available, the description can be loaded directly:

For an EtherCAT PLC this can be generated and saved:
The FSOE process data description can additionally be selected for the KEB Safety Modules: (See manual
of the respective device)
Profinet:

The device description file GSDML can be found in the KEB document database in the "Software" area un-
der the part number of the COMBIVERT:
CAN:
In the CAN process data wizard, a device description file can be created and saved:
10.1.1.9 Test run

The Test run wizard can be opened in a separate window.

It enables a motor run or positioning step from the PC, without having to have a separate control. Likewise,
the state of the state machine is graphically displayed.
The test run wizard does not have any watchdog functionality!
CAUTION If the communication is lost due to cable interruption or program crash,
the drive continues to run with its last set points!
 Therefor always implement a separate, communication-independent,

possibility to stop the drive. For example, by a separate, wired switch
for control release or STO or mains voltage.
It can be arranged parallel to the device editors. You can then switch conveniently between e.g. Scope and
the test run wizard:
Click the header with the left mouse button, hold it down and move the mouse pointer to the appearing ar-
rangement cross, place it in the middle field and release the mouse pointer.

State machine
The view for the state machine can be opened with the field "status display" arranged in the top right corner.
The state machine graphically displays the state of control word co00 and status word st00.
In Control Word, each bit can be set individually by clicking on the green dots.
You can also use the direct buttons below.

Velocity mode:
 pre-set of 3 speeds
 setting of control word
 setting brake control bit
 start of pre-set scope

Set pre-defined position into parameter

co19:“target Position” and start positioning
Pre-defined target position
Hook: Relative positioning

No hook: Absolute positioning
Hook: The profile will be interrupted and the

new target will be headed
No hook: The current positioning profile is
ended and then the new destination is acti-
vated.
Pre-defined Scope starts
Note: with "relative position" and "change target position immediately = off", a positioning profile is generated
with each mouse click on the field "Start positioning" and then processed one after the other!
Homing Mode
Set the current position to 0

In many cases, the current mechanical position of the drive must / should represent the zero point. How to
set the current position to 0:
 Set mode to “homing mode”
 The homing method must be set to "35: on current position" (default). The parameter hm01 is
included in the expert settings.

 Enable the bit “Start homing” in the Control Word and disable the bit.
The other modes cannot be used or only with restrictions by the test run wizard.
10.1.1.10 Cogging
The cogging compensation function minimizes the permanent magnet depending unequal speed in the
range of low speed. Therefor the wizard measures a torque curve, calculates the offset curve and saves the
values in the drive controller.
 Useful only for permanent magnet linear drives and permanent magnet synchronous motors
 The measurement may be done only after optimal adjustment of seed and position controller of the
drive controller.
 The motor must run without load!
 Depending on the motor size and construction pre-adjustments in the wizard may be changed.
 During measurement no value may be changed manually or by bus system
 The wizard uses the profile position mode
 The measurement takes 20-30 minutes
 After ending of the measurement the result must be transmitted to the drive controller and the func-
tion must be enabled.

 The measurement procedure can be interrupted. If no value is transmitted and activated there is no
influence to the drive controller.
The “target reached” mode controls the measurement via a positioning profile and ensures that really each
measurement position is approached. That provides an accurate result, but requires well-adjusted speed and
positioning controls.
The “time-based” mode controls the measurement over a time sequence of measurements, regardless of
whether the position has actually been reached or not. The result is not so accurate, but works more easily,
since the movement does not have to be so precise.
After the measurement is done, the data must be transferred to the drive and activated:

The result of the measurement is displayed in the editor “Graphs and data”. It can be stored in a separate file
and reopened later.
10.1.2 Online Start-Up Wizard Basic COMBIVERT F5, B6 and G6.

Frequently Asked Questions
15 Frequently Asked Questions

15.1 FAQ General
a) Is it possible to use COMBIVIS 5 and COMBIVIS 6 in parallel?

Both programs can be installed and opened at the same time. But each COM- and USB-interface
can be used only by one of them. (e.g. CV5 by COM1/serial and CV6 by USB-COM6 will work)
b) Is it possible to use COMBIVIS 6 twice at the same time?

CV6 can be open several times at same time. But each COM- and USB-interface can be used only
by one of them.
c) Is it possible to use parameter lists (.dw5), work lists (.wr5) and scope files (.sc5) of
COMBIVIS 5 at COMBIVIS 6?
With COMBIVIS 6 .dw5- and .wr5-files can be opened and saved. Sc5-files cannot be handled
actual.
d) Is it possible to parameterize older KEB drive controllers (e.g. F4) with CV6?
No, it is not intended.
e) After inserting a parameter list into the project, there is shown: “channel closed” in the online
values.
The device reference in the parameter list is not the same as in the actual device. → Adjust the
device reference in the list.
f) Is it possible to open several projects with CV6 at the same time?

CV6 can handle only one project at the same time. But CV6 can be opened several times with
different projects (also in different languages).
g) Why will be found the same device several times by using the USB-Serial-Converter Part No.
0058060-0020 / -0040?
Because of the not specified node addresses at HSP5 the F5/HSP5 or B6 drive controller will be
found at each scanned node address. (HSP5 is a face to face communication with only 2 members)
→ Search only at one node address or, at manually searching, mark and open only one device (see:
2.6.2 KEB USB Serial Converter).
h) By using USB-Serial-Converter at a HSP5-interface of F5/B6, the device will be not or only by

searching several times found.
In default of CV6 the searching procedure starts with 9600 baud and counts up afterwards. This
needs a little time, so that the device may not be detected. → use CV6 at searching on HSP5 with
fixed 38400 baud.
Note: on serial interface DIN66019 other, smaller baud rates may be used (F5, default= 9600 baud).
i) At handling of a parameter value the property editor window is not shown.

Or: Parameter value cannot be changed.
Please try to open the property editor window in the toolbar menu “view”.
Afterwards search at the screen frame. May be the property editor window is collapsed.
If found, click into the property editor window and open it. Clicking on the pin symbol fixes the
window open.
A complete restoring of all windows can be done by: toolbar: “Window” → “Reset window layout”.

j) The copy function Fr01 at COMBIVERT F5/B6/G6 seems not to work.

With the parameter set copy function Fr01 at COMBIVERT F5 / B6 / G6 finished sets can be copied
to other sets and then does not have to enter all the parameters again. The copy function runs in the
drive controller and is triggered by COMBIVIS by entering the parameter Fr01 only.
Because of the parameter "copy function" is set programmable, the set addressing mode plays an
essential role in the process.
When copying the "collapsed" parameter the direct addressed set is the target (usually are then
target and source set equal to 0):
Solution: Please adjust in column “set” the number of the set which is the target of the copying and
adjust in the column “Offline/Online value” the number of the set which is to copy.
k) The editor window is empty / shows no parameter.

For every firmware of each KEB device a description of the parameters is needed in COMBIVIS.
Parameter description for this firmware of the device is missing (see 16 Update Function).
l) In editor is shown “service not available” at every parameter value.

When operating with bus systems in "synchronous operation" only indirect addressing may be used
(see chapter 4.7.1 Set Addressing).
15.2 FAQ Scope

a) Is it possible to record more than 16 channels?
Each scope can handle max. 16 channels, but Scope can be opened several times in a project, each
with 16 different channels.
b) If a channel which is in the fast Scope mode will be disabled, does the 5th channel move up
into the fast Scope mode or does the previous reservation persist?
Yes. The channel “moves up”.
c) Is it possible to save a CV6-scope in CV5 (.sc5) format?

No, because of different and upgraded structures it is not possible.
d) Is it possible to merge channels from different scope recordings?

This is planned for a later COMBIVIS 6 version. Currently it is already possible, but only indirectly via
export in an Excel-compatible format for example “.csv”. In Excel it is possible to merge curves as
tables on the basis of time-axis and compare them directly via diagram function.
e) The externally stored Scope file ending .sc6 cannot be opened.

With COMBIVIS 6 versions up to 6.2.2.0 only an .XML file can be imported! The file extension .sc6
was introduced with version 6.2.3.0, in order to better distinguish Scope files of other .XML files. The
data format .sc6 continues to be an .XML format. The .sc6 file extension can be changed to .XML
and thus imported into earlier versions COMBIVIS 6.
15.3 Known Malfunctions in Version 6.6.

Regarding known malfunction of KEB COMBICONTROL please see the belonging manuals.
a) The horizontal cursors in Scope locks only on the values of the first channel. The values of the other
channels cannot be matched.

Workaround: By “Scope” → “Settings” → “Extended”: disable the hook at “Cursors snap to values”.
Within the cursors can be placed freely by mouse.
b) At German Windows operating system and setting in English, the COMBIVERT G6 / F6 ASCL / SCL
wizard has problems if the comma is used to separate the decimal place.
Workaround: If a value with decimal place is entered, the usual dot in English must be used. A
comma will be ignored! In the display, however, "by default" can be a comma and then also applies.
(The parameter editor can use either a dot or a comma, both are valid).
c) At starting of COMBVIS or COMBVIS studio an error message pops up:

The file C:\Programdata\COMBIVIS6\COMBIVIS6ProjectDefaults.opt could not be loaded.

Please see chapter 11.5 Error Messages

IPScan Tool
20 IPScan Tool
The IPScan tool makes it easy to find accessible devices in your own subnetwork.
20.1 General
KEB IPScan uses the UDP protocol to transfer a block of data to allow detecting KEB devices with Ethernet
interface. The scan request is sent from a device called “IPScanner” via broadcast to reach all devices in the
local network subnet range. All devices with IPScan functionality (KEB Kontiki based firmware) respond to
the IPScanner with their name, location and IP parameters. Also any active instance of IPScan.exe software
is found (e.g.: IPScan running in C6-IPC).
20.2 Supported Devices

 Full support: embedded devices (C6-C,H6-CU, P6, T6) + F5 Ethernet operator, Port expander
 Limited support: C6 X86 based (ECON, PERFORM, E22, P3X)
 Not supported: arm based WEC7 devices (C6 SMART, C6 HMI LC)
20.3 Ports
The request port is 67 on the UDP protocol, the response port is 68. Sometimes the response port on the
IPScanner is in use, so an alternative port can be used (devices with firmware after year 2014).
20.4 Scanning
By pressing the “Scan devices” button a call to the network is issued and the responding devices appear in
the list below.
20.5 Wink
By pressing the “Wink this device” button the selected device from the list is asked to show a local response.
This can be a blinking light or flashing header, depending on the specific hardware.
20.6 Assign
With the “Assign IP address” button, the selected device parameters and location may be changed. This
highly depends on the selected device type and needs a specific password for that. It is primary used by ser-
vice personnel.
20.7 More Device Info

The ‘Info’ button shows additional information about the selected device (if available).
20.8 Use IP Scan

The program works independent from COMBIVIS, but will be opened in it.
Menu bar “Tools” → “IPScan”

Energy Efficiency Tool
21 Energy Efficiency Tool

Every manufacturer of drive technology is obliged to submit an energy efficiency declaration for their devices.
With this plug-in the energy efficiency of different types of COMBIVERT can be classified and documented.
The Plug In calculated absolute and relative power losses in eight different load levels in accordance with EN
61800-9-2. Users can also define up to 8 additional custom load points to determine the exact efficiency of
the COMBIVERT.
For all KEB devices, even those which are not listed in the tool, the declaration can be obtained from the
document database or from the KEB homepage www.keb.de as PDF (search for part number -> data
sheets).
21.1 Function
This plug-in creates a PDF document for a specified KEB COMBIVERT. The KEB Configurator is the data
base. Therefor only devices are offered which are parts of configurator.
The operating points refer to the torque-generating current and the rated frequency of the motor.
The losses are related to the rated apparent power of the COMBIVERT.
The energy efficiency tool can be opened directly from the configurator or as an editor in the Navigator.
Configurator:
From the configuration project, select a specific COMBIVERT and right-click on it to go to the context menu.
Then click on "Generate Energy Efficiency Declaration".
Navigator:
In the Navigator, right-click the project node and navigate to the Add Object item. Click on the "Energy Effi-
ciency Declaration" button to open the editor.

Choose a name for the editor:

profile

ing points normative

Generate a document
Coming from the Navigator, the COMBIVERT must be selected from the list. After opening the window, the
1st device is displayed in the list. Select the correct COMBIVERT based on the part number.
In the default setting, the relative and absolute losses are displayed for the operating points defined in EN
61800-9-2.

In addition, the user can define up to 8 own load points. The loss values are interpolated from the normative
values. The points can be entered by a mouse double-click in the left-hand graph or manually in the table
"Custom load points".
21.2 Loss-time profile

This can be used to create a curve that shows the losses over an operating cycle.
The profile is activated by setting the check mark in the field “Loss time options”.

The cycle time can be entered absolutely in seconds or relative.
The profile is generated exclusively from the table of "Custom load points".
In order to integrate normative load points, these can be pulled down from the above table "Normative load
points" by mouse. The time values must be entered manually.

21.3 Create Declaration / Data Sheet

After defining the work points and optionally the loss-time profile, the user can create a PDF report. The re-
port contains all the important device data, the normative and custom defined loss values, and the loss-time
profile (if selected).

Parameter Cockpit
22 Parameter Cockpit
The function Parameter Cockpit is a tool to display parameter values in separate window and bigger size.
Parameter Cockpit can be opened at project or node/device by menu bar icon “add object”:
Or in the navigator with right mouse click:
Set a name:

Parameter Cockpit
The Parameter Cockpit includes 8 view boxes.
Parameters can be set by Drag&Drop from the device parameter editor or from a parameter list to one of the
view boxes.

Parameter Cockpit
The Parameter Cockpit is placed at the bottom of the editor window. It can be placed also on other sides
(see chapter 7)
Parameter Cockpit can be add several times.

Parameters of several devices can be dropped to the same Parameter Cockpit.

Plug-Ins – Additional Modules
23 Plug-Ins – Additional Modules

Additional modules for COMBIVIS 6 and / or COMBIVIS studio 6 can be published during the term of the re-
lease. These are either integrated via the update function or as a separate installation. The description for
the additional modules is published separately in the KEB document database (see chapter 13 document
database).
