Abstract

Claims (57)

1. A commissioning method for an industrial device, comprising:

determining control type of the industrial device;

determining application type of the industrial device;

displaying, on a display screen, at least one macro relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined, for the user to choose, and wherein a displayed macro includes a set of defined parameters of the industrial device relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined;

receiving a macro chosen by a user from the displayed at least one macro relevant to the control type determined and the application type determined;

displaying, in a way of hardware layout, defined terminals of the industrial device to be set according to the macro chosen, wherein input terminals are displayed on a left side of the display screen and output terminals are displayed on a right side of the display screen, and for each respective defined terminal of the defined terminals of the industrial device, displaying a respective defined default function value in the macro chosen, and showing only functions related to the macro chosen;

receiving user selected settings for the defined terminals;

and configuring the industrial device based on the macro chosen relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein after the receiving of the macro chosen relevant to the application type, the method further comprises:

determining at least one parameter defined in the macro chosen and displaying the at least one parameter determined, for the user to set; or

determining at least one parameter defined in the macro chosen, based on the application type determined and displaying the at least one parameter determined for the user to set.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein after the receiving of the macro chosen relevant to the application type, the method further comprises:

determining at least one parameter defined in the macro chosen, based on the control type determined and displaying the at least one parameter determined for the user to set, or

determining at least one parameter defined in the macro chosen, based on the control type determined and the application type determined and displaying the at least one parameter determined for the user to set.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the application type of the industrial device comprises:

receiving the application type chosen by the user, and

determining the application type chosen as the application type determined.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the control type of the industrial device, comprises:

receiving the control type chosen by the user, and

determining the control type chosen as the control type determined.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying of the defined terminals of the industrial device to be set according to the macro chosen, comprises:

displaying an edit button for a user to edit at least one terminal of the industrial device; and

receiving activation of the edit button and user input of at least one of adding or changing a function of a selected terminal.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the industrial device is an inverter, and wherein the method further comprises:

determining identification value of at least one motor connected to the inverter, based on the application type determined; and

displaying the determined identification value during motor identification.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying includes displaying a further user selectable parameter for each respective defined default function value in the macro chosen, and showing only functions related to the chosen macro.

9. A commissioning tool for an industrial device, comprising:

at least one memory, configured to store executable instructions;

and at least one processor, coupled to the at least one memory, and upon execution of the executable instructions, configured to:

determine control type of the industrial device;

determine application type of the industrial device;

display, on a display screen, at least one macro relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined, for the user to choose, and wherein a displayed macro includes a set of defined parameters of the industrial device relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined;

receive a macro chosen by a user from the displayed at least one macro relevant to the control type determined and the application type determined;

display, in a way of hardware layout, defined terminals of the industrial device to be set according to the macro chosen, wherein input terminals are displayed on a left side of the display screen and output terminals are displayed on a right side of the display screen, and for each respective defined terminal of the defined terminals of the industrial device, displaying a respective defined default function value in the macro chosen, and showing only functions related to the macro chosen;

receive user selected settings for the defined terminals;

and configuring the industrial device based on the macro chosen relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined.

10. The commissioning tool of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further, upon execution of the executable instructions, configured to: after receiving the macro chosen relevant to the application type,

determine at least one parameter defined in the macro chosen and display the at least one parameter determined for the user to set; or

determine at least one parameter defined in the macro chosen, based on the application type determined and display the at least one parameter determined for the user to set.

11. The commissioning tool of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further, upon execution of the executable instructions, configured to: after receiving the macro chosen relevant to the application type,

determine at least one parameter defined in the macro chosen, based on the control type determined and display the at least one parameter determined for the user to set, or

determine at least one parameter defined in the macro chosen, based on the control type determined and the application type determined and display the at least one parameter determined for the user to set.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing executable instructions, which upon execution by a computer, enables the computer to execute at least:

determining control type of an industrial device;

determining application type of the industrial device;

displaying, on a display screen, at least one macro relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined, for the user to choose, and wherein a displayed macro includes a set of defined parameters of the industrial device relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined;

receiving a macro chosen by a user from the displayed at least one macro relevant to the control type determined and the application type determined;

displaying, in a way of hardware layout, defined terminals of the industrial device to be set according to the macro chosen, wherein input terminals are displayed on a left side of the display screen and output terminals are displayed on a right side of the display screen, and for each respective defined terminal of the defined terminals of the industrial device, displaying a respective defined default function value in the macro chosen, and showing only functions related to the macro chosen;

receiving user selected settings for the defined terminals;

and configuring an industrial device based on the macro chosen relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the executable instructions, which upon execution by the computer, enables the computer to further execute: after receiving the macro chosen,
