Hello James,

I appreciate your answer and the warm welcome . I'm looking for the Allen-Bradley software - Driver Explorer - it's a old software , because i want to make a back-up for my PowerFlex 4 drivers. If someone still have that software and he can help me, i'd be very grateful .

Thank you !

Have you tried Connected Components Workbench? We use that for our drive backups in lieu of the older Drive Explorer.

The problem with Drive Explorer is that you cannot open the file to look at them like you can with CCW or Drive Executive.

Guys , thank you for your help the software it's ok. I already tried with both (Driver Explore and CCW) , but i can't connect to my inverter . I tried to use this cable for connection between PC and driver : RJ45 Cat5 Ethernet LAN to 9-PIN DB9 Serial RS232 Port Rollover Cables (5ft) .. I use to think it's a cable connection problem, can you recommend me something good?
Thank you !

That's a RS485 DSI port. A simple cable won't get you anywhere, you need a device capable of translating.

The original module is 22-SCM-232 which gives you a DB9 connector out.

For a more modern setup, the 1203-USB gives you a USB connection.
