Saving Variable Parameters to EEPROM
At the prompt, type SAVE. This will save the variable parameters
stored in the RAM to the EEPROM. All of the variables listed in the
VarCom Reference Guide indicate whether its contents can be
saved to EEPROM.
Saving Variable Parameters to .SSV file
At the prompt, type DUMP. The DUMP command causes the drive
to output variables and their contents to the serial port in the format
of a variable file (this includes the trailing CONFIG command). This
variable file format is an ASCII file consisting of a series of variable
assignment statements. The resulting transmission of data from the
drive can then be saved with an .SSV extension.
Restoring Factory Variable Parameters
If you have not saved any changes stored in RAM to EEPROM,
type LOAD at the prompt and the original parameters will be loaded
from the EEPROM into RAM. If changes have already been
previously saved, contact Danaher Motion to obtain a set of motor
variable parameters for the motor specified in the model number. At
the prompt, re-enter all the motor variable parameters. Type the
CONFIG command followed by the RSTVAR command.
Restoring Custom Variable Parameters
At the prompt, type RSTVAR. Transmit to the drive the custom
variable .SSV file. The contents of this file should have the CONFIG
command as its last statement. The drive will execute this
command and configure itself to the parameters that were just
transmitted. Follow this by a SAVE command to store the contents
into EEPROM.
5.6 MultiDrop Communication
When you run MOTIONLINK, the opening communication screen
displays a Scan For Drives button. Selecting this forces the
software to scan for any active drives (and the address location) on
the chain. Any addresses detected are then listed in the Device
Select drop-down menu at the bottom of the Main
MOTIONLINK
screen. You need only highlight the desired drive to begin
communications.
To communicate with individual drives in a daisy chain from a
terminal, you must type at the prompt:
“ \ x ” <cr> where x∈{0..9, A..V, *, \}
corresponding to the DIP address setting of that desired drive. For
example, to communicate with drive #8 (DIP setting: 01000) you
would type at the prompt
“\ 8” <cr>
To globally address all drives on the chain, type at the prompt:
“ \ * ” <cr>
When globally addressing the drives, no character echo to the
terminal occurs.
