FlashDrop is for distributors, machine builders and system integrators who need identical programming across multiple ABB inverter drives for machine production or repeatable processes.  The FlashDrop MFDT-01 tool ensures exact replication of programming and minimises the labour costs involved.

FlashDrop is a powerful palm sized tool for fast and easy parameter selecting and setting. It gives the possibility to hide selected parameters to protect the machine.  Only the parameters needed in the application are shown.  It protects the drive and connected machinery, while the users see only parameters relevant for their respective application.

All the above can be done without a power connection to the drive, and it is not even necessary to unpack the drive and they are programmed in as little as three seconds. The tool can also copy parameters between two drives or between a PC and a drive.

Safer Working Environment 

The robust FlashDrop tool is battery-operated and can be used at installation sites or at the premises of a distributor. The drives are not connected to the mains during parameter setting, an additional benefit that enhances the safety of the assemblers.

The FlashDrop base unit is compatible with ACS150, ACS355, ACS550-01 and ACH550-01, where there is a FlashDrop connector under the drive the control panel.

DrivePM (Drive Parameter Manager) is a software tool, included within the FlashDrop package, to create, edit and copy parameter sets. FlashDrop stores a maximum of 20 unique parameter sets and, if needed, the parameters can be adjusted within the tool.

The user selects a parameter set and on pushing one button the parameters are downloaded from the FlashDrop tool to each drive in less than three seconds. This quickens commissioning times dramatically, especially with multiple drives.
