ACS2000 4KV Black Box Upload Instructions
Tools Required:
PC (with files shown in Fig 2 installed in a directory called c:\BlackBox)
Zip file application
DDCS Adapter (RUSB-02)
Fiber Optics
USB connector
Introduction:
The AMC34 circuit board is equipped with an additional flash memory PCB. The PCB serves
as a black box which saves the information from a data and fault logger of the drive even if the
auxiliary power has been switched off. When a fault has occurred in the drive, the data and
fault logger record system behavior and measurements that occurred at the time of the failure.
This information can be useful in analyzing the fault and will likely be requested when
troubleshooting on the phone.
The Fault Logger (BlackBox) maintains a list of faults that occur in the drive. The Data Logger
maintains a list of fault characteristics such as current, speed, and voltage that occur at the
time of the fault.
Subdirectory Preparation:
This preparation is needed to install the files and programs onto your PC in order
to perform the uploads.
1. Install the BlackBox files sent or given to you into a new directory on your
laptop PC at c:\Blackbox
2. Double-click onto the “Debug 2.92.exe” file in order to install the program.
Have the program icon shortcut “DriveDebug 2.92” located in c:\BlackBox.
See Fig 1.

Procedure – Obtain INU Node Address and Baud Rate Info:

This procedure provides the steps needed to upload the BlackBox and DataLogger
data by connecting directly to the INU and AFE AMC-34 boards via the DDCS
Adapter RUSB-02 and using the PC DOS commands.
1. Plug the DDCS adapter into your PC laptop USB port

2. Plug the fiber optic cables into the DDCS adapter (black plug into the black
Rx socket, blue plug into the grey Tx socket)
3. Plug the other end of the fiber optic cables into the INU AMC Board, channel
3 (black plug into the black Rx socket, blue plug into the grey Tx socket) See
Fig 2.
Services
Channel 3
Fig 2
4. Verify that the AMC Board has been powered up for at least 1 minute
5. On your PC, open the c:\BlackBox directory
6. Double-click on “DriveDebug 2.92” to open the application program
7. Click on “Target”
8. Click on “Open Target List”
9. Double-click on the line item in the list (should say TARGET 0,1 xxxx)
11. Click on “Open Parameter Window”
12. Confirm that “Complete (all parameters)” is selected
13. Click on “Upload”. It may take about 10 minutes to upload the parameters.
(This step also verifies that the communication between the drive and PC is
operational)
14. After the parameters have been uploaded, scroll down the list and jot down
the values in the following two parameters:
70.12 CH3 NODE ADDR (typically value of 1)
70.14 CH3 BAUD RATE (typically value of 1 Mbit/s)
15. Close the DriveDebug window
Set-up the Commands:
Services
16. Double-click on “BlackBox File Locations.doc” to open the file that will contain
command strings that will be used
17. Modify the lines with the node address and baud rate needed.
18. Double-click on “cmd.exe” to open the DOS Command Prompt program
window
19. Within the Command Prompt window, if you see something other than “C:>”
Type “c:” and press [Enter] to change to the c: drive
20. Switch to the doc file to highlight and copy the first line that has
“cd c:\BlackBox”
Upload the INU BB:
21. Switch to the Command Prompt window and paste that into the command line
and press [Enter] in order to change to the Blackbox directory
22. Go back to the doc file to highlight and copy the line that has
“blackbox_upload N /bb_upload_data /mbaud=M” (where N and M have
been replaced with the info obtained in step 14.)
and press [Enter] to start the BlackBox program
It may take up to 15 minutes to upload all of the files. You will see them
scrolling in the Command Prompt window. The files will be placed within the
“c:\BlackBox” directory.
Services
24. When done, highlight the files that start with “bb” along with the
“BlackBox_Upload.log file and drag them to the “BlackBox Data INU”
subdirectory. If you don’t do this, some of the files will be over-written.
Upload the INU DL:
25. Go back to the doc file to highlight and copy the third line that has
“blackbox_upload N /dl_upload_data /mbaud=M”
and press [Enter] to start the DataLogger program
scrolling in the Command Prompt window. The files will again be placed
within the “c:\BlackBox” directory.
27. When done, highlight the files that start with “DataLogger”, along with the
BlackBox_Upload.log file and DLMUpload.csv file and drag (move, not copy)
them to the “DataLogger Data INU” subdirectory.
Obtain AFE Node Address and Baud Rate Info:
28. Unplug the two fiber optic cables from the INU AMC Board, and plug them
into the AFE AMC Board, channel 3. Use the same connection colors.
29. Double-click on “DriveDebug 2.92” to reopen the application program
31. Click on “Open Target List”
32. Double-click on the line item in the list (should say TARGET 0,4 xxxx)
34. Click on “Open Parameter Window”
35. Confirm that “Complete” is selected
36. Click on “Upload”. It will take about 10 minutes to upload the parameters.
(This step also verifies that the communication between the drive and PC is
operational)
37. After the parameters have been uploaded, scroll down the list and jot down
the values in the following two parameters:
70.12 CH3 NODE ADDR (typically value of 2)
70.14 CH3 BAUD RATE (typically value of 1 MBIT/SEC)
38. Close the DriveDebug window
Set-up Commands:
39. Double-click on “BlackBox File Location.doc” to reopen the file that contains
command strings that will be used

40. Modify the lines with the node address and baud rate needed.
Upload AFE BB:
41. Highlight and copy the line that has
“blackbox_upload N /bb_upload_data /mbaud=M”

scrolling in the Command Prompt window. The files will be placed within the
“c:\BlackBox” directory.

44. Go back to the doc file to highlight and copy the fifth line that has
“blackbox_upload N /dl_upload_data /mbaud=M”
and press [Enter] to start the DataLogger program
scrolling in the Command Prompt window. The files will again be placed
within the “c:\BlackBox” directory.
46. When done, highlight the files that start with “DataLogger”, along with the
BlackBox_Upload.log file and DLMUpload.csv file and drag them to the
“DataLogger Data AFE” subdirectory.
Zip and Email the Files:
47. You are done uploading files.
48. Zip the files in the BlackBox Data INU subdirectory and call it
BB_INU_yymmdd.zip (where yy are the last two numbers of the year, mm is
the month, dd is the date – use leading zeros when needed. For example,
“Jan 15, 2009” would be “090115”. If you have multiple copies within a day,
add a lowercase letter after it, e.g. “090115a”, then “090115b”, etc)
49. Zip the files in the DataLogger Data INU subdirectory and call it
DL_INU_yymmdd.zip
50. Zip the files in the BlackBox Data AFE subdirectory and call it
BB_AFE_yymmdd.zip
51. Zip the files in the DataLogger Data AFE subdirectory and call it
DL_AFE_yymmdd.zip
Services
52. Email the files to Technical Support along with the drive serial number, your
name, company, and phone number where you can be reached.
If you need futher assistance, please call ABB MediumVoltage Drives Technical
Support at 1-800-435-7365 Option 4. Please have the serial number of the ACS2000
