Effects of variable maximums if ratings or options are different
It should be noted that if ratings of the source and destination drives are different, or the Solutions Modules installed to the source and destination
drives are different, it is possible that some parameters with variable maximums may be limited and not have the same values as on the card. For
example the user current maximum scaling (Pr 4.24) is rating dependent and could be set to its default value when it is transferred between drives of
different ratings, but this could also affect the torque reference (Pr 4.08) as this uses Pr 4.24 as its maximum. Also different position feedback
Solutions Modules can apply different limits on the speed references, therefore these can be affected when parameters are transferred between
drives with different position feedback Solutions Modules installed where the Solutions Module is being used for the drive position feedback.
Product identifier
When a SMARTCARD is used with Digitax ST it must have the correct product identifier in the card header to give full functionality with the drive. The
product identifier is written to the card. When the whole card is erased for Digitax ST the product identifier is set to 2.

If the identifier does not match the drive product and the card contains any data blocks a C.Prod trip is produced. Also if the following functions are
initiated a C.Acc trip is produced and the card or drive data is not affected: erase file, transfer data block from card to drive, or transfer data block from
drive to card. It is still possible to use Pr 11.37 to browse information about the whole card (i.e. Pr 11.37 = 1000 to 1003), but it is not possible to see
the data block information (i.e. Pr 11.37 < 1000). It is also possible to change the card header information (i.e. read-only flag and warning suppression
flag). This feature allows the read-only flag to be cleared so that a card can be erased to be used with the product that performs the card erase.
If the card does not contain any data blocks (i.e. an erased card) and the identifier does not match that of the drive then the drive will automatically
change the identifier on the card to match when it is first inserted.
