My general recommendation is that for a single time install, it is a lot easier to program the VFD from the keypad vs. the computer. About 5-10 minutes vs. futzing with the software which is finicky as to system installs and the interface is pretty crude. The software is helpful if one is tweaking parameters or trying to find a programming error. If using the keyboard, the WJ200 locks out high level commands, so they need to be unlocked first, this is indicated in the attached sample parameter file for 2-3 Hp mills.
You need to be using
ProDriveNext software for the WJ200, the current inverter software version is 2.1.26.3
STEP 1: If you are installing Pro Drive Next for the first time, please download and save the “PDN drivers” folder (.zip file below). Open the PDN drivers folder and click on the appropriate driver for your 32 or 64 bit system; the file name will be named “dpinst32.exe” or “dpinst64.exe” depending on your operating system. The required driver files will be installed in your computer device.
