5.7 Troubleshoot

1. Load from Device - If a load from device action is interrupted by a device power OFF, then the
subsequent load from device actions will fail.
Resolution:
* Power ON the device and try Load from device again, or if problem persists still then
* Restart SoMove and try Load from device again

2. Functional Block - In ATVLogic configuration dialog box, an error message warns “Date is
integer”.
Resolution:
* The date must be entered in the required format: 8 digits: MMDDYYYY

3. Functional Block - If you want copy / paste a whole program from the PRE to the AUX for
example, we have the following behavior:
> Only blocks are pasted (no Inputs/outputs and no links will be pasted).
> The past operation will not paste all blocks copied from the PRE section. It depends on the
position of the last click in the window.
> Create link on 'paste blocks' is not always possible. In this case, it is necessary to delete blocks
and create new one.

4. Mono/Multi Configuration: When Personalization is done in mono configuration, changes

are shown in customized parameters but the same are not reflecting in the actual configuration.
> For this to work user has to Power Off and On the drive after parameter personalization is done
via SoMove, due to drive behavior.

 Communication DTM for Modbus TCP

Software Component Name Version
MdobusDtmLibrary V 2.0.8
MB Serial Communication DTM V 2.0.24
MB TCP Communication DTM V 2.0.19

Note: During the installation of the Modbus Communication Library also the Schneider PC Driver
for Modbus Serial Line will be installed on the system.

7.1 Program Group

The installation will not add any folder in the Programs group oft the Start menu because the
Modbus Communication DTM Library can only be used inside an FDT Frame Application.

7.2 Directories
By default, Modbus Communication DTM Library Configuration Software will be installed in the
directory.
-<CommonProgramFiles>
-Schneider Electric Shared
- Modbus Communication DTM Library
- Modbus Serial Line CommDTM
- Modbus TCP CommDTM

where <CommonProgramFiles> depends on the settings of your machine. In a default system

installation, this directory is usually "C:\Program Files\Common Files\ ". The default setting can be
modified at the time of installation to meet your specific requirements.
