ABB's DriveWindow is an advanced, easy-to-
use tool for the commissioning and mainte-
nance of drive systems in different industries. Its
host of features and clear, graphical presenta-
tion of the operation make it a valuable addition
to your system providing information necessary
for troubleshooting, maintenance and service,
as wellas training.
DriveWindow is fully 32 bit and runs in the newer
®
Microsoft
Windows environments such as WIN
NT / 2000 / XP.
With DriveWindow the user is able to follow the
co-operation of twoor more drives simultane-
ously by collecting the actual values from the
drives onto a single screen or printout.
Additionally, the client part of DriveWindow may
reside on one Local Area Network PC, and the
server side on another PC closer to the drives.
This enables plant-wide monitoring to be easily
accomplished with two PCs.
