SYPT Pro

USER GUIDE

Introduction

SYPT Pro is a complete integrated development suite for distributed drive applications. SYPT allows user programs to be developed for multiple nodes in DPL, Ladder and Function Block programming languages. DPL (Drive Programming Language) is a high level language as easy to use as BASIC but optimized for drive applications. SYPT also allows user programs to be downloaded to nodes and the runtime operation of the programs to be monitored.

This help file is split into the following major sections:

• Quick Start

This section contains a short tutorial which guides the user through the creation of a simple program. The program is compiled and downloaded to a target for execution. Although the tutorial is short, it provides a good introduction to SYPT development.

• SYPT Components

This section provides information about the features provided by the different components within SYPT.

Note:

For help on SYPTLite, please refer to the SYPTLite help file which is accessible from the help menu within SYPTLite.

• Developing Applications

This section provides information on how to use SYPT to develop single and multi-node applications.

• Going Online - Communicating with Targets

This section provides information on building user programs and downloaded them to target nodes.

• Debugging Applications

This section provides information on building user programs and downloaded them to target nodes.

• Functions & Function Blocks

This section provides information on the functions and function blocks available for use with different targets.

• Reference

This section provides detailed information on the languages supported by SYPT.

Note:

In general, this help file provides information on the operation of SYPT itself. For detailed information on the target drives and options, e.g. parameter information or Advanced Position Controller information, consult the target manuals which are available from the Help menu in the Configuration or DPL editors.

1 Quick Start

This section guides the user through the process of creating an example program and executing it on a target.

The program that is created is not intended to be a meaningful application. The program is only created for demonstration purposes to take the user through the following steps:

1. Creating a project.

2. Adding a node to the project.

3. Editing the program for a node.

4. Building the program for a node into a user image.

5. Downloading the user image to a target node.

6. Monitoring the execution of the program on the target.

7. Setting variable and parameter values used by the program on the target.

Prerequisites

To complete the example, the following items will be needed in addition to a copy of SYPT:

1. A Unidrive SP with an LED or LCD keypad.

2. An SM-Applications option. The SM-Applications module should be fitted in option slot 3 of the Unidrive SP.

3. A RS232 to RS485 lead to connect the PC to the RJ45 on the front of the Unidrive SP - available from your Control Techniques supplier.

Note:

Prior to going online with SYPT and downloading the example program, ensure that the SM-Applications option is fitted in slot 3 of the Unidrive SP and the drive is powered on. Also, load defaults for the Unidrive SP by entering 1233 in parameter 0 of menu 1 (#01.00) and pressing the red reset button on the front of keypad. By loading defaults the job of going online and detecting the drive will be made easier.

If a Unidrive SP and SM-Applications module are not available, the example can be executed on a Unidrive with a UD70 option or a Mentor with a MD29 option but the process of going online and connecting to the drive will be different.

The user guides for Unidrive, Unidrive SP, Mentor, UD70 and SM-Applications are accessible from the Help menu in the SYPT Configuration and DPL Editors.
