1.3 General Usage
There are several helpful features common across all tools in the SMT software system geared toward
simplifying day-to-day as well as extensive usage. These features include: internal logging system,
informative tooltips, highlight-on-click, collapsible group boxes, interactive graphs, persistent user
settings, normalized tool framework, and product update checking.
1.3.1 Internal Logging System
To enhance maintenance and troubleshooting the SMT software system, all tools utilize a common
logging system functionality for outputting to file internal trace information, as well as any error
occurrences which may occur.
The log file is located at: [My Documents]\Danfoss Turbocor\SMT\smt.log
1.3.2 Informative Tooltips
To aid in general use and interpretation of compressor data, all compressor parameter edit/display
fields will display a tooltip which pops up if the mouse cursor hovers over the field and will describe
the modbus register associated with that parameter.
1.3.3 Highlight-on-click
To assist you in viewing data ‘at a glance’, certain readout fields can be highlighted to make them stand
out from the rest. The highlighting of fields with this functionality enabled can be toggled by left-
clicking on the desired field.
1.3.4 Expand/Collapse-on-click
Any group boxes which display a box bearing a +/- box in the upper left-hand corner may be collapsed
in order to reduce the size of a form when some information is not desired to be viewed. To collapse or
expand these regions, left-click on the +/- graphic.
Figure 1-7 Collapsible Group Boxes Example (TT/TG SMT Shown)
1.3.5 Interactive Graphs
Graphs display data and provide a different perspective. The graphing feature provides the ability to
pan, zoom, etc.
• To pan: if panning is enabled, click and drag in either the X or Y direction.
• To fast pan: hold the control key while clicking and dragging within a graph to pan across larger
areas.
• To zoom: if zooming is enabled, use the scroll wheel on the mouse to zoom in and out - holding
shift while scrolling will only stretch the Y axis; holding ctrl while scrolling will only stretch the X axis.
• To reset to initial view: double-click anywhere on the graph.
1.3.6 Persistent User Settings
Many of the interface settings are saved in a local settings file in order to persist common settings on a
user-by-user basis.
Typical persistent settings include: tool form screen location, tool form normal/maximized state,
collapsible form collapse/expand states, user-entered application fields (e.g., hostnames, DTC ports,
technician name fields, etc.).
The settings file is located at:
[My Documents]\Danfoss Turbocor\SMT\Settings.xml
1.3.7 Normalized Tool Framework
All components considered to be tools contain a commonly-structured data identifying a tool and its
interface components.
Data included in the tool metadata (assembly information) include: Tool Id #, Tool Name Id, Tool
Description Id, Tool Classification, Minimum (execution) Access Level, Enumeration Count, Persistence,
Connection Requirement, Dedication Requirement, and an Application Graphic.
In addition to the framework metadata, there are several components geared toward the utilization of
these tool components, including standalone execution support, common interfacing components, etc.
1.3.8 Tool Identification
Each tool’s title frame contains information identifying it. This information includes:
• Tool/Form ID - The first number, indicating the ID number of the current tool.
• Tool Title - The localized text title of the current tool.
• Device Connection Info - This includes the serial port and baud rate or IP address and port
number and the slave address of the device with which the current tool is connected.
NOTE
To differentiate between instances of the SMT, look at the device communication information displayed in the tool’s frame.
Chapter 2.0 Recordings
2.1 Running a Recording
While the SMT Suite Tools are intended to be used with live Danfoss Turbocor (DTC) compressors, it is
possible to partially simulate communication with a compressor using recorded data. The playback
simulation can be used for displaying values, but cannot accept write requests (parameter updates)
and certain features may not be available (such as fault or event log retrieval).
When you first open the Service Monitoring Tools software, a limited version of the Service Monitoring
Tools (SMT) Suite Launcher Strip is displayed.

3.5 Changing Compressor Access Levels
NOTE
On connection, the SMT requires a valid access code in order to allow access to the various tools available at the given
access level.
A user must not change the access level of the BMCC to a value lower than 2 if the compressor is being controlled by Modbus.
If the access level is lower than access level 2, the compressor can not accept a demand write.
For firmware versions of 3.X.X or lower, for example, if the lowest level that a compressor can accept a demand write is at
Access Level 2 (Low Level), then on submission of a “0” in the Access Code field, the SMT will revert to a read-only state and the
compressor will not accept writes to demand from the Modbus controller. In this case, the compressor access level should be left
at Access Level 2 (Low Level) or higher.
To change the compressor access level:
TT/TG SMT
1. Enter the desired Access Code, then click Submit.
VTT/TG SMT
1. Enter the desired User ID and Access Code, then click Submit.
The tool will send the access code to the compressor and indicate the access level on the connected
compressor.
If the access code is incorrect: the compressor will revert the access to the lowest level. After five failed
access code change attempts, the compressor will no longer accept access codes and will require a
power cycle before allowing an access level change.
NOTE
Since the access level on the compressor will remain after disconnecting from the compressor, be sure to either downgrade the
access level or power cycle the compressor after completing service.
3.6 Synchronizing the Compressor Real-Time Clock with a PC Clock
