8 SMARTCARD
8.1 Introduction
This is a standard feature that enables simple configuration of parameters in a variety of
ways. The SMARTCARD can be used for:
• Parameter copying between drives
• Saving whole drive parameter sets
• Saving ‘differences from default‘ parameter sets
• Storing Onboard PLC programs
• Automatically saving all user parameter changes for maintenance purposes
• Loading complete motor map parameters
Size 0
When inserting the SMARTCARD, always ensure that ST SP0 arrow points upwards.
Size 1 to 6
The SMARTCARD is located at the top of the module under the drive display (if
installed) on the left-hand side. Ensure the SMARTCARD is inserted with the SP1-9
arrow pointing upwards.
The drive only communicates with the SMARTCARD when commanded to read or
write, meaning the card may be "hot swapped".
Encoder phase angle (servo mode only)
With drive software version V01.08.00 onwards, the encoder phase angles in Pr 3.25 and
Pr
21.20 are copied to the SMARTCARD when using any of the SMARTCARD transfer
methods.
With drive software version V01.05.00 to V01.07.01, the encoder phase angles in Pr
3.25
and Pr
21.20 are only copied to the SMARTCARD when using either Pr 0.30 set to Prog
(2) or Pr
xx.00 set to 3yyy.
This is useful when the SMARTCARD is used to back-up the parameter set of a drive but
caution should be used if the SMARTCARD is used to transfer parameter sets between drives.
Unless the encoder phase angle of the servo motor connected to the destination drive is
known to be the same as the servo motor connected to the source drive, an autotune
should be performed or the encoder phase angle should be entered manually into Pr
3.25
(or Pr
21.20 ). If the encoder phase angle is incorrect the drive may lose control of the motor
resulting in an O.SPd or Enc10 trip when the drive is enabled.
With drive software version V01.04.00 and earlier, or when using software version
V01.05.00 to V01.07.01 and Pr
xx.00 set to 4yyy is used, then the encoder phase angles
in Pr
3.25 and Pr 21.20 are not copied to the SMARTCARD. Therefore, Pr 3.25 and
Pr
21.20 in the destination would not be changed during a transfer of this data block from
the SMARTCARD.
WARNING
Be aware of possible live terminals when inserting or removing the SMATRTCARD
