Safety notes
Always follow the safety and warning instructions contained in this manual!
Safety notes are marked as follows:
Electrical hazard, e. g. during live working.
Mechanical hazard, e. g. when working on hoists.
Important instructions for safe and fault-free operation of the driven machine/
system, e. g. pre-setting before commissioning.
MX_SHELL allows you to change the function settings of MOVIDRIVE®
drive inverters in a
simple and straightforward manner.
As with all such systems there is the risk of an operating error, which may result in unexpected
(not uncontrolled, though!) system behavior. It is advisable to implement EMERGENCY stop
functions, especially during startup.

1 Introduction
1 Introduction
The MX_SHELL program is a software tool that allows you to parameterize and commission
MOVIDRIVE®
drive inverters simply and rapidly. Context-sensitive Help menus offer support for
each individual commissioning step right up to the documentation of the settings you have made.
Program features
• Commissioning, test and diagnosis of all unit versions and options (for DPI/DPA.. see the
MX_POS software).
• Uploading and downloading of parameter sets from the inverter to the PC and vice versa.
• Setting and editing of parameter sets offline on the PC, i.e. without an inverter connected.
• Integrated function modules for
– manual control and setpoint input from the PC (“Manual operation”)
– fieldbus diagnosis (“Fieldbus monitor”)
– programming and diagnosis of the IPOSplus integral positioning and sequence control
• Identification of a parameter set with a user “signature” for unique identification of a parameter-
ized inverter.
