Rockwell/Electro Craft Drive Software

:happysad:Can anyone tell me where on the great big internet I could find software for a IQ Master 2000 PDM-75 drive? It's on a feeder we bought new for brand new press we just purchased. It's faulting out with current overload and I can't get in it to check parameters and such. It's a 2000 series PDM-75, Date code 4096 with drive part#9101-2164 A. Also anybody know anything about the personality module on the things give me a shout.

If you have a NEW machine with Electrocraft drives and motors on it that still say Rockwell, you got ripped off. Rockwell sold off the entire Electrocraft product line when they sold off Reliance (where it came from) in 2006. Electrocraft is still available, but is owned by someone else now. You might try calling them.

I have not used electrocraft in a long while but the software used to be free to download.

IIRC, it used an odd cable though.

I'm sorry I checked my post and edited it. The press is a new Komatsu 220 ton mechanical press but the drive is on an older feeder that we purchased. I have the manuals and the software listed in it dates back to Windows 2.0 and floppy disk. I tried to get Electro Craft to help with no such luck.

Does the manual list a name for the software? I seem to recall setting up old Electrocraft BRU drives using a terminal emulator.

The book just calls it IQ Master Software. Not much help.

According to this link http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=245379 the IQ Master is the same as a Rockwell 1398. A link to download the software for that product is here http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=67671. You will need a Rockwell login to download the software. I can login and see the download but I have not tried. No guarantees this is correct.

I appreciate it and I will sure try. I'm at wits end with drive and about ready to scrape it if it wouldn't take $10-15 thousand to replace.

I did try the link from the plctalk page and it still worked, I was able to download the software a a zip file.

If you can't get set up with a Rockwell Knowledgebase account to log in, let me know with a PM including your email address and I can put it up on an ftp server for you to download it.
