Drive Composer

Drive Composer is a start-up and maintenance tool for ABB's common architecture drives. The tool is used to view and
set drive parameters, and to monitor and tune process performance.

The entry version of Drive Composer provides basic functionality for setting parameters, basic monitoring, taking local
control of the drive from the PC, and event logger handling. The entry version is available for free, and can be downloaded
from below.

Drive Composer pro is the full-fledged commissioning and troubleshooting tool. Order Drive Composer pro through ABB
