1.1
General Information
IndraWorks is the carrier system for integration of the Bosch Rexroth engineering tools.
Cross-sectional functions, such as project navigation and project administration
as well as the generation of project and configuration data, are executed in a
centralized manner.
Basically, there are two types of integration:
When full integration is used, all operator actions are performed in the
main window of IndraWorks.
Examples include parameterization of units in an IndraWorks project or
configuration of HMI control elements for visualization panels.
The connection to IndraWorks allows comfortable integration of 3rd party

tools. 3rd party tools can be called directly from the IndraWorks project
management in their own display format.
This type of integration is, for example, used for PLC programming and
HMI image configuration.

Document Window Area
General Information
IndraWorks provides various options and tools supporting you with the management of the windows opened in the document window area.
There are two window types in IndraWorks: document windows and tool windows.
Document Windows
IndraWorks supports two types of displaying document windows: sub windows
(MDI - Multiple Documents Interface) and tabs.
In the sub window mode, all document windows are arranged in the document
window area. Several windows can be represented at the same time (e. g.
overlapping windows).
In the tab mode, only one document window is displayed. It occupies the entire
document window area. The other open document windows are represented
as tabs at the upper edge of the document window area. To show such a window, just click on it.
To move back and forth between the two modes, select Windows Windows
as Tabs.
Windows in the Document Window
Area
Double-click on an object in the project explorer to open a window in the document window area where you can edit the data or properties of that particular
object. Depending on the object type, the window is a dialog box or an editor.
All open document windows are listed in the Window menu. To put a window
to the foreground, select the appropriate menu item or click on a visible part of
the window in the document window area.
4/160

and Controls
Basics
Select the Windows Windows menu item to open the Window List where
you can manage the windows opened in the document window area.
Fig.1-3:
Window List dialog box
Tool Windows
Tool windows are listed in the View Other Windows menu item. To change
the behavior of the tool windows, either use the system menu (by right-clicking
on the title bar of the tool window) or the Window menu.
Dockable
Tool windows are dockable by default. A tool window is opened either in the
floating mode or it is docked to the edge of the document window area. To dock
a floating tool window to the edge of the document window area, just deselect
the dockable property. This window will also be arranged as an additional tab
in the document window area. If you reselect the dockable property, the window will return to the position it had taken before you arranged it in the document
window area.
Hide
This command hides the active window. You can show the window again using
the View menu.
Floating
This command changes the window from the floating mode to the docked mode
and vice versa.
Auto Hide
This setting hides the tool window at the edge of the borders such that it is only
indicated by a tab displaying the window title. To fully maximize the window
again, just move the mouse pointer over the tab. In this manner, the document
window area can be enlarged.
Arranging the Windows

Overlapping, Cascading, Tiled
In the MDI mode, the windows in the document window area can be arranged
in the overlapping, cascading and tiled modes. To achieve this, select the appropriate command from the Window menu.
Grouping Document Windows
In the tap mode, document windows can be grouped. To achieve this, use the
commands of the system menu of the document windows. You can arrange
document windows in vertical and horizontal groups and easily move them from
one group to the other.
In the tab mode, you can drag-and-drop document windows within
the document window area.
System Menu of Document Windows
Using the system menu of the document windows in the MDI mode, you can
minimize, restore, close and move these windows as well as zoom them in and
out. Using the system menu in the tab mode, you can create new horizontal

Full Screen
1.2.6
To display as large an area of your document as possible on the screen, activate

the full-frame mode by selecting View Full Screen. All tool windows are hidden, and the document window area occupies the entire remaining area. The
menu bar is still shown. The Customizing dialog box allows you to add toolbars
as you wish. The View menu allows you to display any tool windows you wish,
even in the full-frame mode. The configuration selected is stored on exiting the
full-frame mode and will be restored when it is called the next time. To return
to the normal display mode, click on the Full Screen button of the Full
Screen toolbar. Alternatively, you can also press <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<F> or use the
menu.
Project Explorer
General Information
The project explorer is arranged to the left of the document window area in the
IndraWorks main window. The project explorer represents the projects and their
components in a structured manner.
Project
A project contains all devices, communication connections and other components required for operating a machine or system. The tree structure of these
components reflects the device topology of the automation solution.
Device
A device is a components of a project, e. g. a control or a drive. Usually, a device
consists of a hardware section and a software section.
In IndraWorks, devices are selected from a library and added to a project. Then
the functions available in the devices are called and/or lower-level devices are
projected.
1.2.7
Library Explorer
The library explorer is arranged to the right of the document window area in the
IndraWorks main window. It represents all libraries available for your projects
in a structured manner. Libraries can contain hardware components, i. e. devices, and software components, e. g. function blocks.

Working with IndraWorks
2.1
General Information
IndraWorks provides objects with various contents, called application data.
These objects can be created, managed, edited and filed in a structured manner, as files in an IndraWorks project. The workspace in IndraWorks consists
of a top-level project. Each project can, in turn, contain a collection of folders
and files. These objects are also called resources.
2.2
Working with Projects and Devices
2.2.1
Projects and Project Data

In IndraWorks, devices and objects (resources) are compiled to projects which
are represented in a tree structure in the project explorer. A project is always
at the uppermost hierarchy level. Only one project can be processed at a time.
All further nodes in the tree represent devices, communication connections,
functions or merely structuring elements, e. g. folders, which are comparable
with directories in a file system. The figure below is an example of a project with
a drive.
10/160

and Controls
Fig.2-1:
Project in a tree structure
On principle, each node can provide a corresponding main menu entry with
subitems and a context-sensitive menu. The content and function of the commands provided in this menu are depending on the particular node.
If necessary, the Project toolbar can be shown. When shown for the first time,
this toolbar is floating, but can be moved to the desired position with the mouse.

might not be functioning properly any longer after the scan process.
Click Advanced to open a dialog box where you can enter the timeout for
the device type used by the scanner.
The scanner attempts to establish a communication connection to
the devices to be scanned. This timeout is the time interval available
to the connected devices for responding to a request of the scanner,
thus identifying themselves. The scan process is decelerated by a
high timeout value and accelerated by a low timeout value. If the
timeout is too low, the scanner might fail to detect all devices.
We recommend to use the default timeout value.

Switching between Offline and Online
What Happens?
Four Switching Steps
Once you switch a project to the online mode, IndraWorks performs the following steps:
In the first step, IndraWorks attempts to establish a communication connection to all devices in the project (communication adjustment).
In the second step, IndraWorks checks whether the projected device

structure is equal to the existing device structure (structure adjustment).

and Controls
49/160
In the third step, IndraWorks verifies whether the projected configuration

of each device is equal to the existing configuration (configuration
adjustment).
In the final step, IndraWorks compares the data of each device in the
project with the appropriate data in the destination device (data
adjustment).
A device will not be switched to the online mode before all the above steps have
been completed successfully.
The sections below will provide a detailed description of these steps.
How to Proceed
Switch a project to the online mode by selecting Project Online.
Fig.2-52:
Switching to the online mode
Communication Adjustment
Checking the Communication Connection
In the first step, the communication connection to the devices of the project is
verified. If IndraWorks can communicate with all devices, the structure adjustment is automatically carried out in the next step. Otherwise, you can
search (scan) for a device,
or stop switching the device in question to the online mode.
Fig.2-53:
Scanning for a Device
Switching to the online mode: communication connection message
The scanner is used for searching a device (see chapter 2.2.7 "Scan for Devices" on page 42 )
If the scanning is successful, the communication settings of the device are applied. If the scanning is not successful, switching the device to the online mode
is stopped.
Structure Adjustment
In the structure adjustment step, IndraWorks checks whether the projected device structure is equal to the existing structure. For example, the device peripherals for a control are checked as follows:
number and type of the drives connected,
number and type of the I/O bus users connected.
50/160

and Controls

The structure adjustment depends on the device type. For details
on switching a device to the online mode, please refer to the present
documentation.
If the projected structure is equal to the existing structure, the configuration
adjustment is carried out in the next step.
Eliminating Structural Inconsistencies
If the data in the project is different from the data in the destination device, then
this is shown in a tool window. The tool window provides the following information:
overview of structural inconsistencies,
data set in the project,
data existing in the destination device,

Multilingual Projects
2.6.1
General Information
Creating and Editing Multilingual

Projects
The language and text management integrated in IndraWorks allows to create

and edit multilingual projects. The multilingual function relates to the language
of the user texts (e. g. projectable messages, texts in HMI screens, program
comments). Do not mistake this multilingual function for the language of the
user interface.
We recommend to proceed as follows:
2.6.2
Create the project and select the master language.
Plan the project (all texts are entered in the master language).
Add the desired additional languages to the project.
Export each user text of the project to its translation file per additional
language.
Translate the texts, i. e. edit the translation files.
Import the translated texts to the project.
Defining the Master Language of a Project

The language used for originally creating an IndraWorks project is called the
master language. At a later point, any number of further languages can be
added to the project, in addition to the master language.
Define the master language in the Project language list box of the Create
New IndraWorks Project dialog box while you create a new project.
Fig.2-72:
Use the Fonts button to define the fonts for the text display. This is particularly
recommended for languages requiring specific fonts for displaying the text, e.
g. Asiatic languages.
The default setting for the fonts of the master language is as follows:
Proportional font: Arial, 10 points
Non-proportional font: Courier New, 10 points
62/160

and Controls
2.6.3
Managing Project Languages
Adding a New Language to the

Project
To add a new language to the project, select Project Language Manage

Project Languages.
Fig.2-73:
Manage Project Languages dialog box
To open the Add Project Language dialog box, click on the Add button in
the Manage Project Languages dialog box.
Fig.2-74:
Add Project Language dialog box
Select the language you wish to add to the project.

and Controls
63/160
Fig.2-75:
Manage Project Languages dialog box
Repeat this process until you have added all necessary languages to the project.
To change the font of an additional language, select the language from the
Additional languages list and click on Fonts.
Click on Close to return to the IndraWorks main window.
When a new language is added, the internal text memories are
prepared to incorporate and manage texts in this language. Translations to this language are, however, not made.
Any of the languages added to the project can be selected to be the
active language. As a result, all entered language-specific user
texts are filed to the text memories of the language in question at
and after this point.
Editing in an additional language is only suitable for correcting a text
or for making minor changes to a project.
For actual project planning, we explicitly recommend that you work
in the master language only and do not add new languages and
translate user texts until the project has been completed technically.
If you wish to expand or revise a project, we also recommend that
you first proceed in the master language and translate the new user
texts only thereafter.
Deleting an Additional Language
from the Project
2.6.4
To remove a language from the project, select Project Language Manage

Project Languages. Select the language to be deleted from the Additional languages list and click on the Delete button. Confirm the subsequent safety
prompt.
External Project Translation
General Information
IndraWorks is provided with an export/import interface for the texts of a project.
This data interface allows to export texts to a translation file which can then be
translated outside of IndraWorks.
64/160

and Controls

To do this, you need a spreadsheet program which is able to read and write *.
csv files and which supports UNICODE.
For example, Microsoft Excel 2003 or OpenOffice.org Calc are suitable for editing translation files. The operation of these two programs differs only in the
setting of text export and text import filters for opening and saving the translation
files.
After the translation is completed, import the translation file. IndraWorks assigns the appropriate translations from the translation file to the original texts
in the project.
The sections below describes the translation of the texts of a translation file by
the example of OpenOffice.org Calc.
The following steps are required:
1.
Export the translation file from IndraWorks.
2.
Import the translation file to OpenOffice.org Calc.
3.
Translation of the texts. The translated texts are inserted in the translation
file.
4.
Export the translation file from OpenOffice.org Calc.
5.
Import the translation file to IndraWorks.
Exporting the Translation File from IndraWorks

To open the Export Translation File dialog box, select the Project Language
Export Translation File item.
Fig.2-76:
Source Language
Export Translation File dialog box
In this list box, define the language version of the texts which will be written to
the translation file as original text.
The language preset in this list box after opening of the dialog box is the master
language. You can also select any other language of the project as the source
language.
Target Language
In this list box, define the language which will be entered as the target language
in the translation file. This entry will later be evaluated during import, so that the
imported texts can be properly assigned to the correct text memories in the
project.
Export Only Texts That are not Yet

Translated
This check box allows you to define whether all texts are exported to the translation file or only those for which the target language does not provide any text
yet. Check this option if you have revised an already translated project and wish
to export the new texts only. When they will be imported, the texts of the translation file are merged with the already translated texts in the project.
Click on OK to open a dialog box where you can define the directory and the
name of the translation file.

and Controls
65/160
Fig.2-77:
Export translation file dialog box, saving the file
The name proposed by IndraWorks has the following format:

translation file.<source language>.<target language>.csv
For example, a translation file from German to US English:
translation file.de-DE.en-US.csv
You can edit the names as desired; but we recommend that you leave the name
extension unchanged (e. g .de-DE.en-US.csv).
Click on Save to create the translation file.
Importing the Translation File to OpenOffice.org Calc

Download a translation file to OpenOffice.org Calc by selecting File Open.
Select the file to be opened and click on Open.
This opens the Text Import dialog box.

After having downloaded the translation file to OpenOffice.org Calc, a spreadsheet with five columns and a number of lines depending on the number of texts
is opened.

and Controls
67/160
Fig.2-79:
OpenOffice.org Calc: translating texts
The first line of the spreadsheet is a header which describes the column contents.
Column 1: Source Language
Column 1 contains the texts of the source language. The ISO code for this
language is entered in the header.
Column 2: Target Language
Column 2 contains the texts of the target language. The ISO code for this language is entered in the header. Depending on the settings in the export dialog
box, the remaining lines of this column are empty or display already existing
translations.
Columns 3, 4, 5: Management Data
Columns 3 to 5 contain management data which can be used to assign the

translated texts properly when they are imported to IndraWorks.
Do not change the header or the management data. Otherwise, the
translation file cannot be imported.
During the translation, the translated texts are entered in column 2. While being
imported, these texts are read in IndraWorks.
Please observe the following character strings for the translation:
{%tab%}, {%lf%}, {%crlf%}
During the export, these character strings are inserted in texts which
contain tabulator and end-of-line characters. Apply the character
strings as they are to the translation.
Example:
Source text: Hallo{%tab%}Welt!!!
Translation: Hello{%tab%}World!!!
While the translation file is imported to IndraWorks, the character
strings are reconverted into the original characters.
Exporting the Translation File from OpenOffice.org Calc

After the translation is completed, save the translation file. We recommend to
save the edited file under a different name with Datei speichern unter (File Save
As).

User Management
2.8.1
General Information
The user management serves as a protection against unauthorized access to
information, functions and operator actions of the IndraWorks environment.
The user management allows you to create users and user groups and to assign the users to the user groups.
The user management supports a role-based assignment of authorizations to
individual users or user groups.
The following user roles are available:
Engineer
Maintenance
Operator
Observer
These roles are supplemented by two additional default properties:
Administrator (authorized to install / uninstall software)
OEM (the user is a member of the staff of the machine manufacturer and
receives the extended authorizations of the machine manufacturer)

and Controls
81/160

If user roles and default properties do not suffice to implement your operation
and authorization model, you can extend the user authorizations by additional
privileges.
You can define additional privileges as you wish. These can be summarized in
privilege profiles.
The privileges are inter-component properties used to control the overall system.
By default, the user management contains the following privileges:
Privilege
Description
Accounting Manager
Authorized to administer the user management, i. e. setting up and managing

users, user groups and the associated authorizations.
BRC
Privilege for persons belonging to the staff

of BOSCH Rexroth Service. For enabling
additional service-specific functions.
I-Remote
Authorized to administer the I-Remote

(activate / deactivate / configure).
Fig.2-97:
Privileges
The user management provides interface components representing the user

data in lists or in a tree structure. The data is only displayed to users having the
privilege Accounting Manager.
The user management can be operated in various layouts:
dialog-based (basic setting),
document-based.
The user management can be operated in the normal mode or in the expert
mode.
Normal Mode
The basic setting provides the user management in the normal mode. This
provides the most common configuration of the user management, which contains a part of the functions of the expert mode.
In the normal mode, operation is restricted to the management of users, rolebased user groups and organizational units (grouping) as well as to the configuration of some global settings (e. g. password guidelines).
You can also change to the expert mode.
Expert Mode
The export mode provides further functions. In this mode, the user management
contains, for example, a connectable address management which can be used
to map organizational forms and save personal data of the users.
In the expert mode, the user management data is displayed in a tree structure.
You can configure this structure by hiding unnecessary branches of the tree or
the appropriate portions of the configuration interfaces.
2.8.2
Working with the User Management
General Information
The user management data is saved as a part of the IndraWorks project and is
valid in this project only. Inter-project authorizations cannot be assigned.
The user management is always operated in the account sharing mode. That
means that any login and logout of a user in one application affects all other
applications, and a new started application applies the user authorization of
existing applications.
82/160

and Controls

If no user has logged in, there is no shared user account on start of an application yet. In this case, the application is started with the user role of
Observer without any additional special authorizations.
If the autologin mechanism is activated and an autologin user has been configured, a user is implicitly logged in to the user account of the autologin user.
The application starts with a default user who is defined via the autologin mechanism.
If the autologin mechanism is deactivated or incompletely configured, a dialog
box for user login appears.
After a successful user login, all applications using the shared user account
receive the authorizations of the user who is filed in the account.
If the user login is interrupted, operation of the application is continued with the
role of Observer.
If the user management is activated in your environment, you can call it on the
Engineering Desktop by opening the Project () menu or on the Operation Desktop by selecting the File item.
The following menu items are provided:
Login
Logout
Configuration
Login
Select Project User Login to log in an IndraWorks user.
Fig.2-98:

The only users authorized to configure the user management are

exclusively those with the role of Engineer and with the special
authorization of Accounting Manager.

Graphical Interpolation
As you can see, the rising edge of the lowest signal is not an exactly vertical
line. This is due to the fact that the values are linear interpolated and represented as curve trace. This is reasonable for analog signals, but not for bit
signals.

Computations
3.8.1
General Information
Measured signals can be mathematically combined, in order to obtain further
results. Select the desired computation and then the signals to be combined.
The computed signals will be shown in the signal overview and in the graphic.
If a measurement is started again, the computations will be repeated automatically.
Start the measurement when a computation has been configured.
Then you will obtain the signal data as well as the computation data
and you can save them together. The configuration of the computation will be saved, too.
3.8.2
General Computation Formula
Example with Position Feedback

Value S-0-0051
This example with IndraDrive shows, how to compute the velocity using the
position feedback value.
The following settings have been specified:
4000 measurement points
time grid of 0.5ms
Signals S-0-0036, S-0-0040 and P-0-0043
Further signal S-0-0051 position feedback 1 value
Signal trigger with S-0-0040 velocity feedback value
Furthermore, the command value has been activated by a periodical square

wave signal of the drive-internal command value generator:

1.
The parameter S-0-0051 position feedback 1 value is given in degrees.

To obtain the number of rounds define the constant c2 = 360, und thus
divide the result by 360.
2.
Select the derivation d/dt (1/s) as function 1.
3.
Select signal S-0-0051
4.
Start the computation by OK.

and Controls
139/160
Fig.3-62:
Result after derivation d/dt (1/s)
The result of the computation, 8.66667 rounds per second, is shown in the
signal overview, in the column Y at Cursor.
For a better clearness the other signals have been hidden.
Amend Computation
The unit rounds per minute would be more suitable in order to compare the
calculated feedback value to the velocity feedback value. Therefore open the
dialog "Edit Calculation" via <Strg> and click on CD. Here you can edit the
settings of the calculation.
The calculated signal must be active.
140/160

You can also obtain the velocity feedback value from the position feedback
value using the two line cursors:
142/160

and Controls
Fig.3-65:
The curve of position feedback 1 value has an intersection with each cursor.
Place the two cursors, so that the y-values of these intersections differ by 360,
here 1600 and 1960. Now the x-values of the two cursors differ by 120 ms,
here 116 ms and 236 ms.
Thus the velocity feedback value is 1 round in 120 ms, i.e., it is 8.333 rps or
500 rpm.
This is consistent with the computed signal value.
Pre-defined Functions
In the dialog Configure Computation you can select two pre-defined functions:
Fig.3-66:
Selection function 1

and Controls
143/160
Fig.3-67:

Thus you can, e.g. calculate the 2nd derivation in order to obtain the acceleration
value from the position feedback value.

Summation
Example: Add two Signals
Start the dialog "Configure Computations" via CD. The general calculation
formula is preselected. To add two signals select the desired computation
Addition. The parameters s1 and s2 represent the two signals.
Fig.3-68:
Dialog: Configure computations, Addition
In this example the parameter S-0-0040 has been selected twice for the addition. Constant c1 = c2 = 1.
Start the computation via OK , the result will be applied to the graph and to
the signal overview.

Summary of the Results
Read the 3dB limit
1.
Place cursor 1 at that position, where the value falls below the 3db limit
for the first time.
2.
Read the frequency response at that position (here approx. -160) and
calculate the difference between this value and -180. The difference
should be as large as possible (here approx. 20).
3.
Place cursor 2 at that position, where the 3db limit is exceeded for the last
time.
4.
Read the frequency response at that position, too, and calculate the difference between this value and -180. The difference should be as large
as possible (here approx. 15; without illustration).
The larger the difference between the frequency response values and -180,
the less the system tends to natural frequencies. An optimum has to be found
here.
