DOP Professional is the latest addition to the Drive Manager suite of Software. It is both an offline programming tool and online monitoring tool suitable for the Hitachi L200, SJ200, L300P and SJ300 Series Inverter.

All the screens have been arranged to provide users with the interactivity of the Windows environment by using the standard command buttons, option buttons and combo boxes. All parameters are text descriptive so there is no need to know the parameter codes of the Inverter. A comprehensive help file is included to explain every parameter in even more detail.

The main features of DOP Professional are:

  • Save & Load Inverter Set-up to disk.
  • Easily cross-referenced to in-built programming codes.
  • Complete print out grouped for easy parameter search.
  • Multi-Lingual Compatibility.
  • Global product suitable for European, USA and Japanese series Inverters.
  • In-Built 'Virtual Inverter' to fully simulate how the set-up will operate.
  • Application orientated Set-up Wizards.
  • Auto-Tune Wizard.
  • Highlight from Factory Default.
  • Compare two files and report Differences.
  • Launch DOP Plus, Trend Analysis and SRW Simulator.
  • Import DOP Plus and SRW Simulator Files.

Trend Analysis joins the already released DOP Professional, DOP Plus, QuickStart and SRW Simulator software packages as part of the Drive Manager suite of Software. It is an online monitoring and trending tool which is suitable for the Hitachi L200, SJ200, L300P and SJ300 Series Inverter.

Trend Analysis allows the user to monitor any of the following by plotting a graph on-screen and allows the user to export the graph either to a spreadsheet or the clipboard for further data analysis.

Any or all of the following can be monitored:

  • Output Frequency (Hz)
  • Output Current (Amps & %)
  • DC Link Voltage (V)
  • Direction (Graphic and option to include on graph)
  • Inverter Condition (Running, Stopped or Tripped)
  • Condition of Intelligent Input Terminals (ON/OFF)
  • Condition of Intelligent Output Terminals (ON/OFF)

Additional features include:

  • Protection Trip History
  • Export Graph to Spreadsheet Format
  • Copy Graph to Clipboard
  • Click on graph to view readings at any point
  • Multi-Lingual Compatibility.
  • Global product suitable for European, USA and Japanese series Inverters.
DOP Plus Software .
DOP Plus Software
Back To Top
The first of the programs within the Drive Manager portfolio is called DOP Plus. The software runs on any IBM-compatible PC within Windows 3.11, 95 and NT.

Essentially, the software emulates Hitachi's existing DOP and DRW hand held programming units, but with the convenience of being able to program drives at a desktop with a full size monitor. The screens within the software have been arranged to provide users with the interactivity and intuitive operation of the Windows environment, but also give on screen views of all the DOP screens available.

From the toolbar users can load data, select printing, text saving and writing EEPROM data to disk. Because the programming is in text files, the system is ideal for new users of drives since there is no need to have access to or knowledge of inverter address codes. There are in-built help screens for all function parameters and an automatic quick function parameter selection facility.

The software is able to identify by automatic detection, the inverter range being programmed and can also save and load the inverter set up to disk as well as be printed out. The current inverter set up can be compared with the set up in a file - a particularly useful feature when trouble shooting or retrofitting drives.

The software is packaged together with a getting started and technical manual and a cable that plugs into the serial port of the PC with a special adapter that fits the serial communications port on the inverters.
Quickstart .
Quick Start
Back To Top

QuickStart is the easy new way to program Hitachi L100 and SJ100 inverters. This innovative new software enables remote programming from your PC with a simple menu driven Windows based system that requires you to merely enter a few parameters into predefined boxes on screen. Once you've set up the speed and run options, you simply add the maximum frequency, acceleration and deceleration rates using slider bars and then complete the set up by selecting the internal speed parameters as appropriate. To load the program to the drive you simply click on "download to the inverter".

Existing programs can also be downloaded from the inverter for editing with the QuickStart program with a single on screen click. All that is needed to take advantage of QuickStart is an inexpensive communications adaptor that connects your PC to your Hitachi L200 and SJ200 inverter.

SRW Simulator .

The SRW Simulator is an online programming tool which is suitable for the Hitachi L300P and SJ300 Series Inverter.

The software emulates Hitachi's existing SRW hand held programming unit, but with the convenience of being able to program drives at a desktop or on a laptop computer.

From the toolbar users can load or save the Inverter program to disk, print the Setup and because the programming uses the same references as the standard keypad. This provides useful documentation which applies to non users of the software.

The software is able to identify by automatic detection, the inverter range being programmed which will prevent the incorrect setup being downloaded.

The Software requires an RS422 to RS232 Converter and communications cable.
