Prerequisites

Please use the current panel hardware version XDP1-N-128-NN-VSRSN-NN  (R911403470), USB-C cable and ctrlX DRIVE!
You have to wait 20 sec. until the start screen is shown.
The QR code can be evaluated by using the so called Digital Service Assistant app.

1. Operating modes

In contrast to the currently used display at IndraDrive there are 3 different operating modes.

The activation of each mode starts with the respective connection.
Any point in time, the panel will be in one of the operation modes.
The panel is not designed for multiple modes of operation at same time.

1.1  Panel Engineering mode

Panel engineering mode is activated, when panel is connected to drive.
At power on, panel displays the so called “welcome screen”.
You have to wait for 20 seconds which the panel needs for starting up.

The displayed diagnostics are changing automatically in between:

  1. Panel diagnostics
  2. Axis diagnostics
  3. QR code with information about the current device diagnostics

1.2 USB Engineering mode

Activated, when panel is connected with drive & PC. USB – C cable needed!
In this mode of operation, Panel works as an Ethernet gateway between device and USB host (PC).

1.3 USB mass storage mode

When panel is connected only with the PC, USB mass storage mode is activated.
This welcome screen is displayed unlimited.
Please notice, that you have to do the complete panel firmware handling in this mode.

3.4 Diagnostic Screen Overview

Diagnostic screen is used to display all the axis that are detected by panel. There are different types of diagnostic screens available, which are as mentioned below: 

  • Device Diagnostic Screen will display the diagnostic information of selected axis.
  • Panel Diagnostic Screen will display the diagnostic information of panel itself.

QR Code will display the diagnostic information of all the axis that are detected.

Device diagnostic screen provides axis wise diagnostic information.

Information Source (related to drive parameters):

Drives_Uwe_1-1635322176053.png

Depending upon the current diagnosis code, the appearance of screen differs. Different types of diagnostic codes are

  • Information class diagnostic ranges from 0xA0000 to 0xAFFFF
  • Warning class diagnostic ranges from 0xE0000 to 0xEFFFF
  • Error class diagnostic ranges from 0xF0000 to 0xFFFFF

Sorting of axis is done by using the physical axis numbers which are read from
P-0-1518.0.4 --> P-0-2701.0.2 (N-V Parameters)


3.5 Device Diagnostic Info

3.6  Panel Diagnostic Screen 

Panel diagnostic screen provides panel’s diagnostic information. Information displayed in this screen is provided from panel itself.

Drives_Uwe_3-1635322683093.png

  QR Code Diagnostic Screen

QR code diagnostic screen provides axis wise diagnostic information.
QR code diagnostic screen is configurable as per user requirement.

  • QR + Diagnostic Screens (default selection)
  • Only Diagnostic Screens
  • Only QR Code Screen

3.7  Special Conditions
  • In panel engineering mode, when there is no user activity in panel for 5minutes, then by default Diagnostic screen should be displayed.
  • During screen transition, panel screen behavior is as mentioned below
    0 to 5 secs     --> Do nothing and wait for new screen to be displayed.
    5 to 10 secs   --> “Please wait” text to be displayed.
    After 10 secs --> Jump to diagnostic screen.
  • In case of communication failure in “Only QR” code in panel engineering mode, there is no way to indicate user about presence of an error. In this case, QR scanned data contains only junk values or all the values will be set to 0, except the link to Bosch service app.

Diagnostic Screen Navigation

HMI events:

  • Esc      --> Clear error of currently selected axis, except QR code
  • Down  --> Navigate to previous axis
  • Up      -->  Navigate to next axis
  • Enter  -->  Display Device overview screen


Special events:

  • If user has navigated to any other screen, then diagnostic screen will be displayed in the following conditions
    • In case of error detection in any of the axis
    • In case of no user activity for 5minutes
  • If user navigates to any axis using up/down buttons, then the selected axis will be displayed for 60s and automatic inter-axis navigation will be resumed afterwards.

Automatic Inter-axis Navigation

Automatic switching is interrupted after selecting an axis.

3.8 Priorities

 Priorities with existing functionalities

  • If user is performing any operation in other screens then user operation has higher priority and jumping to this screen will happen after 5mins of no user activity.
  • Display of error screen is higher priority than display of confirmation screen.
  • Display of confirmation screen is higher priority than display of warning screen. If warning occurs in parallel, then corresponding axis in info screen should indicate it.
  • Stop the automatic axis navigation upon display of this screen.
  • In “only QR” diagnostic screen, do not display axis identifier confirmation screen, as QR is for the device and SMO identifier confirmation is for only an axis.
  • During confirmation, if axis is forced to PM/OM mode, panel will clear the confirmation message displayed (if already displayed) and it will display normal diagnostic screen data with PM/OM data. If axis comes back to CM mode and if parameter P-0-3235.0.4 = 0, panel will display the confirmation message again on the screen.

Operation in safe motion confirmation screen

  • Using this screen user can confirm the safe motion identification. And user cannot cancel the confirm identifier message from the panel.
