[1] Introduction
This document describes the WiTool which is a tool for the Toshiba Wi Series drive equipment.
For information on how to install WiTool on your PC, refer to the "Installation manual"
(6F3A4507). Note that the drive equipment cannot be connected unless the correct connection
method and PC settings are used. Be sure to understand the concept of these settings
thoroughly.
The following topics are described:
Chapter 2: Connection Method
Chapter 3: Startup Method
Chapter 4: Main Window Description
Chapter 5: Function Summary
Chapter 6: Function Details
Chapter 7: Connection Other than 1:1 Connection
<Before you begin>
Microsoft and Toshiba have the Copyrights to this software. Copying this software to
unauthorized PC is prohibited.
Do not install programs other than the above on your PC. The settings of your PC may be
altered causing the WiTool to slow down or become inoperable.
<Notes on rewriting drive equipment data>
Observe the following when rewriting the drive equipment data.
1) Rewriting the data may disturb the drive equipment. (For example, if the speed setting is
rewritten, the motor speed will change. If the control gain is rewritten, the control system will
change causing it to trip or become unstable. ) Be very careful when rewriting. When the motor
is running, the message "OK to rewrite while running?" appears on the screen.
2) When rewriting the data, there is a password function on the drive equipment side. If the
correct password is not provided, a password error occurs and the data remains unchanged.
3) The setting in the drive equipment is normally written in RAM. WiTool normally modifies this
data in RAM. However, this data in RAM is erased once the power is turned off. Therefore, the
drive equipment also holds the settings in EEPROM which is not erased when the power is
turned off and the settings are copied to RAM from EEPROM when the power is turned on.
When data is changed with the WiTool, only the data in RAM is changed. Therefore, the
settings must be copied from RAM to EEPORM before turning the power off.
<Maintenance>
This software is supplied on CD-ROM. Keep it as backup.

[2] WiTool connection
The following three types of network connections are available for WiTool:
1) 1:1 connection
PC and drive are connected 1 to 1.
Therefore, only one PC and drive equipment are connected to the network.
Figure 2 1:1 connection
2) 1:N connection
Multiple drive equipments are connected to a single PC.
Normally, the network is connected through a device called the HUB.
In this case, an IP address is required for the PC and each drive unit.

3) 1:N RIO connection
This is a connection made via Integrated Controller V Series.
The PC is connected to the Integrated Controller network and exchanges messages with the
Integrated Controller RIO (Remote I/O Controller).
RIO and drive equipment exchange messages using the message transmission function of
the Transmission Unit TL-S20. Consequently, the PC exchanges messages with the drive
equipment.
In this case, an IP address is required for the PC and each RIO.
The drive equipment does not need an IP address because message is exchanged using the
TL-S20.

The necessary information, the creation of setup file based on this information, PC setup, and
the window display depend on the selected connection method ((1) 1:1, (2) 1:N, or (3) 1:N
RIO).
Refer to the "Installation manual" (6E3A4507) for details.
4) Connection between PC and drive equipment
The actual connection between the PC and drive equipment is made by an Ethernet cable.
(1) In the case of 1:1 connection, connect the TOOL connector on the drive equipment board
and the Ethernet connector of the PC with an Ethernet cross cable.The Ethernet cross cable
is provided with
WiTool.
(2) In the case of 1:N, it is not possible to connect to the drive equipment board. Connect the
Ethernet connector of the PC and the hub with an Ethernet straight cable because the signal
from the drive equipment is connected to the Ethernet hub.
(3) In the case of 1:N RIO connection, connect the Ethernet connector of the PC and the hub
with an Ethernet straight cable as with (2) 1:N connection.
Cross cable and straight cable are available as Ethernet cable. Note that the correct cable
must be used. A single cross cable is included with WiTool. Straight cables must be
purchased separately.

Figure 3.2 Logon window
Enter the User Name and Access Level and then click OK.
A password input window appears when connecting to the drive equipment.
Figure 3.3 Password prompt
Enter the password and click OK.
<<User Name, Access Level, Password>>
The name of the operator allowed to connect to the drive equipment, access level of the
operator, and the password for that operator are registered in each drive equipment.
This operator name is referred to as the User Name.
The access level is divided into ten levels from 0 (Read Only) to 9 (Full Access).
If the User Name and Access Level do not match those registered in the drive equipment, the
drive equipment returns access level 0.
The User Name and Password are set to "TOSHIBA" at factory shipment.
Access level 9 is allowed with this user name.
This User Name and Access Level are entered when starting WiTool and are used to
connect to the drive equipment.
