8.3 Transferring a Parameter File
Pay attention to parameter categories when transferring parameter data files to the controller. The
controller is shipped with its axis-related parameters set, for each axis, to values appropriate for the type
of the actuator connected.
There are three categories of axis-related parameters: axis-specific parameters, driver card parameters
and encoder parameters.
Exercise caution when using an existing file containing customized parameters.
Note: If parameter data is lost during parameter writing to the flash ROM due to main power OFF or any
other factor, all parameters will be rewritten to initial values. In the case of the X-SEL-P/Q,
PX/QX, R/S, RX/SX and RXD/SXD controllers, an error will be detected after power reconnection
or software reset since system-specific settings are lost immediately after parameter initialization.
Under such conditions, all parameters cannot be transferred to the controller together. Handle the
problem in accordance with the "Parameter Recovery Method for X-SEL-P/Q, PX/QX, R/S,
RX/SX and RXD/SXD Controllers" in the Appendix at the back of this manual.
Note: In case the I/O parameter on RC position use method in X-SEL is different from the parameter in
the controller for X-SEL-P/Q, PX/QX, R/S, RX/SX and RXD/SXD with gateway function, ‘6A1:
UBS data composition change error’ will occur when software reset is executed after transferring
the parameter and writing to the flash ROM. The alarm message will also appear when all backed
up data is transferred.
(PC interface software version 7.2.0.0 or later)

x No.503: The position data points for RC gateway position data definition
If an error message is displayed, user data retained memory must be initialized. However, all the RC-axis
position data will be cleared if the user data retained memory is initialized as described in the note. If you
need to save the RC-axis position data, please follow the procedures in the note.
Note: All the RC-axis position data will be cleared if the user data retained memory is initialized.
Please follow the steps below to backup the RC position data.
1. Open the Controller, RC-Axis Position Data Edit (R), then Axes Position Data Save (S)
in the Menu screen to save the RC-axis position data.
2. Change the I/O parameter No. 502, 503.
3. Initialize the user data retained memory.
4. Click File (F) and Open (O) in the Menu screen to open the saved RC-axis data in step
1 and transfer it to X-SEL controller.
Refer to "12. Gateway Function Setting" for transferring the RC-axis position data.
