LinMot Drive Configuration over Fieldbus
The current parameter configuration can be stored into a PVL file.
This text file contains the parameter UPID and value in an easy to
interpret list. This parameter list can easily be stored in a superior
machine drive (PLC, IPC) and downloaded to any drive of the same
type if necessary.
Besides the parameters raw data the PVL file contains additional
information about the system on which the PVL file was created.
Before complete parameter configurations are downloaded from the
superior machine control system to the LinMot drive, it is
recommended to perform some compatibility checks. With these
checks it can be ensured, that the configuration stored in the superior
control system (source file) is fully compatible with the firmware
installed drive (target system).
The following rules must be considered for each firmware layer:
Check Value
Tree ID
Tree Main Version
Tree Sub Version
Table 5: UPID value ranges for E1100 drives.
Rule
Tree ID of the source file and target system
must be the same (e.g. it is not possible to
download a DeviceNet setup onto a drive with
Profibus interface firmware installed).
The source file parameter tree must have the
same Main Version as the tree installed on the
target system.
The Sub Version of the source must be the
same or smaller than the corresponding value
of the target system (backward compatibility
within main version).
