CHAPTER 1
OVERVIEW
1-1. DEFINITION AND SCOPE
The Super Tools 2000 (ST2000) Software Toolkit is
microprocessor-based software used to configure and
maintain GE's AC/DC2000 drives. It consists of a
collection of programs (tools) running under a
command shell.
ST2000 is used both to originally configure and test a
drive system, and to fine-tune and maintain that system
in the field. Additionally, it can be used with optional
AC/DC2000 modules for real display of control vari-
ables and communications data. ST2000 includes an
extensive database, accessed and manipulated by fol-
lowing program rules.
For drive system configuration during manufacture,
ST2000 serves as a post processor to set up primary
automation programs in the AC/DC2000 drive. Outside
the factory, it serves as an installation and maintenance
tool to adjust that drive's software. It enables GE's
field engineers and other trained personnel to customize
the AC/DC2000 drive to the specific hardware and
application, as well as to fine-tune the drive's software
for optimal performance.
GEH-5860A
This manual includes the following chapters:
Chapter 1 (Overview) – defines the ST2000 and the
organization of this manual.
Chapter 2 (Installation) – describes the type of hard-
ware required to use the ST2000, and how to install the
program into that system.
Chapter 3 (Functional Description) – defines the com-
ponents of the ST2000 program and their function.
Chapter 4 (Tools Definition) – defines the different
tools (programs) available from the menu item.
Chapter 5 (Using the Toolkit) – guides you through the
different tools and the options available under these
tools.
1-2. CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Although the ST2000 Software Toolkit simplifies the
process of configuring, tuning, and maintaining
AC/DC2000 drives, it is a complex software package.
GE has thoroughly tested the programs and expects
them to function as intended. However, if system error
messages occur or your system misoperates when using
ST2000, please contact GE Product Service, Salem,
VA using the form located in Appendix A of this man-
ual.

3-3. CONFIGURABLE ITEM (CI)
A Configurable Item (CI) is any component in an
AC2000 or DC2000 drive that may be different from
one application of the drive to another. Listed below
are the characteristics of the CI.
Either a hardware or software component.
For example, hardware CI are jumpers, switches,
potentiometers, or wire jumpers on one of the
boards.
A software CI is a value in the EEPROM of a
drive, such as one or more bits in a single
EEPROM address.
The product descriptions database describes each
CI, hardware and software.
Values can be overridden, in which case they ac-
quire an override status.
Recalculation of CI values by the application rule
set cannot change values with an override status.
Before the application rule set can compute a CI
value, the override status must be cleared.
3-4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS DATABASE
(CI TABLE)
The product descriptions database is a collection of
database files describing all possible configurations for
each CI in a drive. The file describes each CI, and
defines all possible values of each CI.
3-5. HARDWARE OR FIRMWARE
MODIFICATIONS
Each CI is revision sensitive. Its possible values must
be changed to reflect hardware or firmware modifica-
tions allowing the user to choose different features. For
example, if a drive has new firmware placed into one
of its boards, creating a new feature, a corresponding
addition is be made to the descriptions database.
The user must implement this update by entering the
correct revision status of all drive components into the
product descriptions database. Then, the drive's hard-
ware and firmware filters this database and changes it
automatically to reflect the new revision.
3-2
ST2000 Toolkit
NOTE
If a different hardware or firmware is used
in a drive, a new set of CI Table files must
be used and those files must be informed of
the version changes being made to the
drive.
3-6. APPLICATION DESCRIPTIONS DATABASE
(PARAMETER TABLE)
The applications descriptions database describes all
possible values a user may enter into a parameter value
file for a drive application (usage). This database has
the following characteristics:
One parameter value file for each drive.
The parameter value file is the source for the ap-
plication rule set for that usage.
A variety of applications may be defined; however,
they must comply with pattern definitions (only
certain types are allowed).
User inputs are placed into the parameter value
file. The parameter table describes and constrains
each input.
It is closely linked to product descriptions.
It defines parameters in application terminology
that relate to the drive's configurable items. A
single application parameter can describe several
CIs.
3-7. APPLICATION RULE SETS
An application rule set is a collection of rules specifi-
cally based upon a drive application. Rule sets are used
to configure the target drive. A rule set contains the
following characteristics:
It uses the application description database and
user inputs to configure the target drive.
It converts user inputs from application terminolo-
gy into drive terminology for drive configuration.
(The user needs only to know application terminol-
ogy, and not the more complex drive terminology.)
ST2000 Toolkit
It contains a list of equations – both mathematical
and conditional.
These equations process inputs from the parameter
value file along with the static product and application
descriptions from both the CI and the parameter tables.
This produces the values for all the drive's configurable
items.
The application rule set used is based on the par-
ticular application for which the drive is being
configured.
3-8. TOOLKIT EXECUTABLE PROGRAMS
Toolkit executable programs are the routines that pro-
vide the ST2000 Toolkit's capability. These routines
also enable the user to examine and modify various
ST2000 system components.
3-9. TARGET CONFIGURATION FILE
The target configuration file refers to the configured
drive database, described below.
GEH-5860A
3-10. CONFIGURED DRIVE DATABASE
(PROJECT DATABASE)
The configured drive, or project database contains the
output results of the application rule set task. It has the
following characteristics:
Each value in this database has a one-to-one corre-
spondence to a drive CI (including hardware).
Each non-hardware value in this database can be
sent to the corresponding CI stored in the drive's
EEPROM.
Each value stored in a CI in the drive EEPROM
can be sent to the corresponding value in this data-
base.
A user can directly access and override CI values.
NOTE
The CI values in this database must be
equal to the corresponding CI in the drive's
EEPROM and hardware settings.

Several report formats
The general procedure to create a report is to select a
report from a menu, make the report, and then display
or print the report.
To select a report:
1. Move the cursor to the desired report listed on the
menu. Use the arrow keys to move up and down.
2. Tag it by pressing: <F1> (tag for report).
3. Press: <F2> (make report).
This creates a file (DXXX_RPT.TXT where xx is the
drive) that contains the report.
Several reports can be tagged at one time for multiple
reports. To do this:
1. Move the cursor to the desired report listed on the
menu.
2. Tag it by pressing: <F1> (tag for report).
3. Move the cursor to the next desired report listed
on the menu.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all desired reports are
selected. Reports may be selected in any order.
5. Press: <F2> (make report)
This creates a file (DXXX_RPT.TXT where xx is the
drive) that contains all the reports in a single file.
4-8. READTXT (TEXT FILE READER)
The READTXT tool program provides the following
features:
Processing of any text file built by a tool routine
Access to, scroll through, or print of any text file
Screen display of any specified text file
Browsing of report files generated by other tools
GEH-5860A
4-9. NOTES (NOTE DATABASE EDITOR)
The NOTES tool program is used to build a history of
actions performed on a drive during its preparation for
usage. The user makes entries to a notes database.
These entries are special comments about certain as-
pects of the drive to be retained for future reference.
The NOTES tool has the following features:
Entries are comments that represent a change-by-
change, day-by-day activity
Entries can be added, edited, and deleted
The comment is entered in free-form
Only one comment line can be added at a time (at
the bottom of the window)
A window displays entered comments; it enlarges
to show all entries until it reaches its maximum
size,then one can scroll through the remaining
entries
Notes can be viewed by scrolling up or down with-
in the window
The database cannot be printed
Each drive has its own notes database
(DXXXNOTS.DBF where xx is the drive)
To edit a note (line), move the cursor to the line by
using the arrow keys.
To delete a note:
1. Move the cursor to the line
2. Flag it by pressing: <F4> (delete)
3. Press: Y<Enter> to confirm the deletion
