Using the CopyCat Function

48
PowerFlex 750-Series drives and PowerFlex 7-Class drives provide a CopyCat
function that enables you to upload individual parameter sets for the host drive
or any of its connected peripherals into the HIM. Furthermore, an Upload All
Ports function enables you to conveniently upload multiple parameter sets for the
host drive and all of its connected peripherals in one single file. In either case, this
information can then be used as backup or can be transferred to another drive or
peripheral device by downloading the file from the HIM's memory.
The Upload All Ports and Download All Ports functions are only available for
TIP
the host drive (Port 00) due to their unique functionality.
The CopyCat function also enables you to rename or delete individual or
multiple parameter sets stored in the HIM.
The HIM can store up to 50 individual parameter sets or up to 5 multiple
parameter sets. Due to the memory capacity of the HIM, these maximums will
vary when storing combinations of individual and multiple parameter sets.
Generally, the upload or download transfer process manages all conflicts.
However, the download will stop and a text message will appear if any of the
following conditions exist:
• A device mismatch, such as firmware revision, device type, or device series
is detected.
• The drive is password protected.
• The drive is running.
You then have the option to completely stop the download or continue after
noting the discrepancy for the parameters that could not be downloaded. These
parameters can then be manually adjusted.
When using the HIM with a PowerFlex 753 drive with firmware revision 1.05 or
IMPORTANT
earlier, or a PowerFlex 755 drive with firmware revision 1.10 or earlier, the
CopyCat function cannot upload/download DeviceLogix values for DLX Out xx
and DLX In xx parameters and DeviceLogix program routines. Drives with a
later firmware revision support this function, but the HIM does not support
screen formatting for the DeviceLogix program.
