Menu 11 − Miscellaneous
Mode: Open‑Loop
Menu 11 provides parameters for the following features:
1. General drive set-up and identification
2. Serial communications interface
3. Non-volatile media card access
4. Onboard user programming
Non-Volatile Media Card Support
The drive supports two types of non-volatile media cards; smart cards and FAT formatted SD cards.
The NV Media Card can be used for:
Parameter copying between drives
Saving drive parameter sets
Saving an onboard user program
Storing of onboard scope data (SD card only)
Storing of complete drive cloning information (SD card only)
Storing of MCi module user programs (SD card only)
The NV Media Card can be used to store drive parameter sets and/or PLC programs set from the drive in data blocks 001 to 499 on the card.
The Unidrive M is compatible with a Unidrive SP smart card and is able to read and translate the Unidrive SP parameter set into a compatible
parameter set for Unidrive M. This is only possible if the Unidrive SP parameter set was transferred to the smart card using the difference from defaults
transfer method (i.e. 4yyy transfer). The Unidrive M is not able to read any other type of Unidrive SP data block on the card. Although it is possible to
transfer difference from default data blocks from a Unidrive SP into the Unidrive M, the following should be noted:
1. If a parameter from the source drive does not exist in the target drive then no data is transferred for that parameter.
2. If the data for the parameter in the target drive is out of range then the data is limited to the range of the target parameter.
3. If the target drive has a different rating to the source drive then the normal rules for this type of transfer apply.
SD Card File system layout
The folder <MCDF/> ("Motor Control Data Files") must be present on a FAT-formatted SD card. Other folders can be added. This folder structure is
created when a Card Error trip is reset. Initially the folders are empty apart from the <000> file.
Writing to an SD card the drive will place files in a <MCDF/> folder in the card root. There are two possible cases here; these are illustrated in the
example folder listing below:
1. Saving an individual item (e.g. drive parameters or a user program) will generate a numbered file in the root of this folder; the number is that
specified in the triggering command, and this number must be specified in the command used to restore the item from the file. This is equivalent
functionality to that provided on a smart card. When saving a parameter file, in addition to the drive parameters, the drive will also read the
option parameters from each of the installed options, and include those that have changed in the parameter file.
2. Cloned drive data will be stored in a numbered <drivexxx> subfolder; this structure groups together all data from a single drive and also allows
storage of option-specific data (e.g. from an internal parameter database or some fieldbus specific objects which are not stored in parameters).
Changing the drive mode
If the source drive mode is different from the target drive mode then the mode will be changed to the source drive mode before the parameters are
transferred. If the required drive mode is outside the allowed range for the target then a Card Drive Mode trip is initiated and no data is transferred.
Different voltage ratings
If the voltage rating of the source and target drives is different then all parameters except those that are rating dependent are transferred to the target
drive. The rating dependent parameters are left at their default values. After the parameters have been transferred and saved to non-volatile memory a
Card Rating trip is given as a warning. The table below gives a list of the rating dependent parameters.
