Uploading Control Data

PF7000 drives with ForGe control have a specifically-allocated memory location
to capture and store critical data in the event of a fault condition, referred to as
"Control Data". There are 8 buffers that store data sequentially on a first-in first-
out basis, ensuring the data of the eight most-recent faults is always available for
analysis.

This section describes the process for retrieving and uploading Control Data.

For required components and cable diagrams, refer to
