• 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 a
.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 the factory 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.
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 is
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 to 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.
