Reloading the Parameters

For major revision level upgrades, the majority of the parameters that

were stored in the Operator Interface or other external means can still be
used, but there may be things such as new parameters, changed scaling on
an existing parameter, or added functionality to existing parameters that
may have to be addressed. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REFER TO THE
RELEASE NOTES BEFORE UPGRADING FIRMWARE.


To reload the parameters from the Operator Interface, once again obtain
ADVANCED level access.


Then follow the same steps to get to the UTILITIES – TRANSFER –
PARAMETERS screen. Then choose F3 (MEM>DRV). This will
prompt you for confirmation, and you can press F8 for YES.


The parameters will then be transferred. There are differences between
parameters for different revision levels, so you may get some errors, and a
Transfer Incomplete message.


You can also transfer from the Card to the Drive using F2 (CRD>DRV),
and the difference is that you will first get a screen asking you to choose
from all the available parameter listings on the card. Select the one you
want using the arrow keys, and press Enter. Then you can press F8 for
Yes and transfer the parameters. Once the parameters are transferred,
press the F10 (EXIT) key to get back to the main screen.


It is important to go through the parameters and ensure the settings are
proper for the drive. New parameters may need to be changed for the
specific drive application, and this should be understood from reviewing
the release notes beforehand. You should also correct any information
such as the drive name, the operating hours, or the external fault text, if
present.


You should then press F5 (NVRAM), and save the parameters to
NVRAM.


Then cycle control power one more time, and the drive should come up
with no faults or warnings, and the drive will be ready to run. At this
point you may also want to save the parameters to the Operator Interface
terminal, the Flash Card, via software, or as a hardcopy. This will provide
a record of the new settings.
