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.
To reload the parameters from the Operator Interface, enter the appropriate
secure PIN to access the ADVANCED features.
Follow the same steps to get to the UTILITIES – TRANSFER –
PARAMETERS screen (refer to
Downloading Drive Processor Firmware on
page 146 ). Choose F3 (MEM>DRV). When the interface prompts for
confirmation, press [F8] for YES.
The system transfers parameters. There are differences between parameters for
different revision levels, so you may receive error messages, and a Transfer
Incomplete message.
You can also transfer from a memory card to the drive by pressing [F2]
(CRD>DRV). The interface prompts you to choose from the available
parameter listings on the card. Select the desired o[ption using the arrow keys,
and press [Enter]. Press [F8] to accept the selection and begin the transfer. When
finished, press [F10] (EXIT) to return to the main screen.
Review the loaded parameters and ensure the correct settings for the drive. You
may need to change parameters for the specific drive application, as determined
by reviewing the release notes beforehand. Also correct any information such as
the drive name, the operating hours, or the external fault text, if necessary.
Press [F5] (NVRAM), and save the edited parameters to NVRAM.
Cycle the control power again to ensure the drive comes up with no faults or
warnings, and the drive is ready for operation. At this point you should consider
saving 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.
Setting Elapsed Time
The drive firmware download process resets the operating hours displayed on the
terminal to zero. Restore the actual operating hours using a utility program
(Sethobb.exe) supplied with the firmware package. To set the elapsed time, follow
the steps described below.
• Turn off control power to the drive control boards and the terminal.
• Remove the terminal serial connector from Analog Control Board, ACB
(Port-J12).
• Connect your laptop to ACB (Port-J12) using a null-modem cable.
IMPORTANT Refer to the release notes before upgrading firmware.
