1Introduction
Axis management is integrated on the inverters. This offers the following
operating modes:
• Single-axis operation:
An axis configured with POSITool is used on a connected motor.
• Multiple-axis operation:
Two, three and four axes configured with POSITool are used on a connected
motor. The axes can be used sequentially like parameter records on the
motor.
• POSISwitch® multiple-axis operation:
Up to 4 motors connected to POSISwitch® are operated sequentially with up
to 4 axes.
This option requires the following system structure.
The system of the 5th generation of STÖBER inverters is divided into two areas –
the global area and the axis area. The global area contains the programming and
parameterization related to the inverter. This includes device control, the setting
of I/O components such as brake resistors and so on. In addition, it is responsible
for managing the axis area.
The axis area is divided into up to four axes. Each axis contains the programming
and parameterization for one motor and is addressed by the global area. The axis
area contains the motor setting and the application of the motor. The uses are
defined by STÖBER ANTRIEBSTECHNIK in so-called applications or, optionally,
can be programmed as desired by the user.

2 Notes on Safety
2.1 Using the software
The POSITool software package can be used to select the application and adjust
the parameters and signal monitoring of the 5th generation of STÖBER inverters.
The functionality is specified by selecting an application and transmitting these
data to an inverter.
The software is the property of STÖBER ANTRIEBSTECHNIK GmbH + Co. KG
and is copyrighted. The software is licensed for the user.
The software is only provided in machine-readable form. STÖBER
ANTRIEBSTECHNIK GmbH + Co. KG gives the customer a non-exclusive right
to use the software (license) provided it has been legitimately obtained.
The customer is authorized to use the software for the above activities and
functions and to make copies of the software, including a backup copy for support
of this use, and to install same.
The conditions of this license apply to each copy. The customer promises to affix
the copyright notation to each copy of the software and all other property
notations.
The customer is not authorized to use, copy, change or pass on/transmit the
software for purposes other than those in these regulations. The customer is also
not authorized to convert the software (i.e., reverse assembly, reverse
compilation) or to compile it in any other way. The customer is also not authorized
to issue sublicenses for the software, or to rent or lease it out.
2.2 Product maintenance
The obligation to maintain refers to the two latest software versions created by
STÖBER ANTRIEBSTECHNIK GmbH + Co. KG and approved for use.
STÖBER ANTRIEBSTECHNIK GmbH + Co. KG will either correct software errors
or will provide the customer with a new software version. This choice will be made
by STÖBER ANTRIEBSTECHNIK GmbH + Co. KG. If, in individual cases, the
error cannot be immediately corrected, STÖBER ANTRIEBSTECHNIK GmbH +
Co. KG will provide an intermediate solution which may require the customer to
comply with special operation regulations.
A claim to error correction only exists when the reported errors are reproducible
or can be indicated with machine-generated outputs. Errors must be reported in
a reconstructable form and provide information which is useful to error correction.
The obligation to correct errors ceases to exist for such software which the
customer changes or edits in any way unless the customer can prove that such
action is not the cause of the reported error.

3 Programming with POSITool
This section explains how to handle a configuration in POSITool. This includes
information on how to set up and program a configuration
3.1 Prerequisites
You must have attended programming classes at the STÖBER
ANTRIEBSTECHNIK Training Center before you can program a device of the 5th
generation of STÖBER inverters. After attending these classes you will receive a
key file which will allow you to set configuration level 3. Configuration level 3
authorizes you to modify or add to an application.
Level 3 is activated as shown below:
3.2 Structure of a configuration
3.2.1 Configuration
The configuration screen contains the programming interface. Blocks are entered
here and linked when the free, graphic programming option is used. Applications
defined by STÖBER ANTRIEBSTECHNIK GmbH+Co. KG provide the
programming in a capsule block.
Open a configuration screen by double-clicking Configuration in the project view.
Remember that the global area and each axis area can be configured separately.
Using the key file
1. Save the key file in the directory in which POSITool is installed.
2. Open POSITool.
3. In the Extras menu, select the menu item Change access level ….
4. Set the configuration level to 3:Access level 3.
You have just activated the free, graphic programming option.

3.2.2 Opening a block
One block can contain other blocks. Before the configuration structure within a
block can be viewed, the block must be opened. There are three ways to do this.
3.2.3 Exiting a block
If you want to access a higher block level, there are two ways to accomplish this.
Opening a block
• Double-click the block or
• Click the block with the right mouse button and select Open in the context
menu which appears or
• Highlight the block and open it with the button.
The configuration structure of the block appears now.
Exiting a block

3.3 Editing a configuration
3.3.1 Activating edit mode
The configuration interface must first be set to editing mode before you can edit
a configuration. You can only program (e.g., add, delete and wire blocks) when
edit mode is active.
If you are unable to activate edit mode, check the following points:
1. Check to determine whether the configuration level is set to 3:Access level 3
in the menu Extras/Change access level ….
2. Check to determine whether you have activated edit mode from the highest
or second highest level.
3. Make sure that POSITool is not in online mode.
4. Check to determine whether you have opened a reverse documentation. You
can tell a reverse documentation by the corresponding entry in the inverter
view (see Figure 3 4). If the documentation you want to edit is a reverse
documentation, convert the file into a configuration in the menu File/Manage
inverters ….
Fig. 3-4 Reverse documentation of a project
Activating edit mode
• Using the right mouse button, click a free area in the configuration interface.
In the context menu which appears, select Edit or
• Press the button.

The left side of the block contains the connections for the input signals. The right
side of the block contains the connections of the output signals. The designation
and data type of the signal are shown on the connections. Table 1 lists the data
types.
Number and designation of the block are shown above the block. A block can be
located by its number in the block manual, for example. Blocks with a number up
to 49999 are called system blocks. They cannot be opened. Blocks with numbers
greater than 100000 are standard blocks. They contain additional blocks. You can
open some of the standard blocks but never edit them.The instance number is
located to the left below the block and the position within the runtime sequence is
located to the right. The instance number specifies the sequence in which the
blocks were instanced on a configuration level. The runtime sequence is
explained in chapter 3.7.
Information
You can change the view of a block. This includes, for instance, the
indication of the block number, the instance number or the
presentation of the connections. You can make such changes in the
menu Extras/Options … after selecting the configuration editor.

The following dialog appears:
4. In the selection list set the library in which the new block is stored .
5. In the list which is shown below this select the block and confirm the
dialog with the OK button.
The previously existing block is deleted and the new block appears in the
configuration user interface. If the new block uses the same interface as the
one which was replaced, all signal lines are taken over. If this is not the case,
the signal lines which were connected to the replaced block are deleted.

3.3.5 Commentaries on the configuration
You can add commentary to the interface to document a configuration. Instance
from the organization block library
• the block 8 000 005 for one-line commentaries or
• the block 8 000 010 for multiple-line commentaries.
he block appears as a square on the interface (see for example block 8 000 005
in Figure 3 8). Double-click the block to edit the text.

3.3.6 Undo function
To undo an action performed in the configuration user interface, select the menu
item Undo in the Edit menu. Remember that the function can only be executed at
the current level. When you change the hierarchy level, the list of actions is reset.
In addition, you cannot restore the parameter value after deleting a parameter
with the undo function.
3.3.7 Navigation window
Activate the navigation window for an overview and for a description of how to
navigate a complex configuration. Proceed as shown below:
For orientation, the window shows the blocks and their relationships to each other.
The area which is visible on the current configuration interface appears as a
square. If you click the area enclosed in the square with the left mouse button and
keep the mouse button pressed, you can move the square and thus change the
visible portion of the configuration.
