Parameters

5.1

Overview

The MCi210 module holds two parameter databases; the MCi210 database and the database for
the drive to which the module is installed.
The MCi210 database parameters can be accessed from the drive's keypad, a user program in the
MCi210, PC Tools or a module in another slot of the drive. The notation S.mm.ppp is used to
access these parameters where S is the slot number, mm is the menu number and ppp is the
parameter number. For example, to access Pr 03.010 of an MCi210 installed in slot 2 of a drive
from a module in slot 3 it will be accessed using Pr 2.3.010.
The MCi210 module will also hold a copy of the host drive's database. At power up, if the database
held in the MCi210 is different to that of the drive, the MCi210 will upload the drive's database and
overwrite the stored database. If the two databases match the drive's database will not be
uploaded.
A module that is powered up for the first time will not contain a drive database and therefore will
always perform a drive database upload.
