Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An exemplary apparatus and method are provided in which the apparatus is provided with encoding configuration information as an optical code. The optical code is displayed on a display of the apparatus. The optical code can be read from the display and configuration information derived from the optical code is sent to a database of configured apparatuses.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A frequency converter configured for use in an industrial drive system, comprising: a memory configured to store configuration information corresponding to a data record linked to the configured frequency converter at a database of configured frequency converters, wherein the configuration information includes operational parameters and an address of a location in the database of configured frequency converters; a display configured to display optical codes; and a control unit of the frequency converter of the industrial drive system operatively coupled to the memory and the display configured to instruct the frequency converter of the industrial drive system to: store configuration information of the frequency converter of the industrial drive system; encode the configuration information into a plurality of optical codes comprising at least one of a bar code, a matrix barcode, a 2D-bar code, and a Quick Response code, wherein at least one optical code includes static configuration information and one or more optical codes includes dynamic configuration information, a first optical code including at least the address of the location in the database and one or more second optical codes including at least operational parameters of the configured frequency converter, at least one of the optical codes including an identifier of the frequency converter; and display the plurality of optical codes of the frequency converter on the display.
