5.3 Sending/Retrieving System Data
The following chart describes the flow of data between the PC and
the SERVO
STAR. When logic power is applied to the drive, it loads
the variable parameters stored in EEPROM into the dynamic RAM
for fast and easy access. You can read (and write) these variable
parameters to (and from) the PC by one of several methods
described in INITIAL STARTUP
RAM
MICRO-
PROCESSOR
EEPROM
"LOAD" command
or Power-up
"SAVE" command
(EEPROM variables)
(operating

MOTION LINK PC
OR TERMINAL
USER SETTING
"DUMP" command
VARIABLE FILE (*.SSV)
The PC transmits serial data to the drive and stores it in dynamic
RAM. However, any variable data changed from the PC is lost
when logic power is lost if it is not saved into non-volatile EEPROM.
Each variable listed in the VarCom Reference Guide indicates
whether it can be saved to the EEPROM.
If you are configuring the same system on similar applications, the
variables can be saved on a disk in an .SSV file for convenient
downloading into other drives.
