UDP Support

The Upload Download Protocol (UDP) can be used to transfer text files between the drive and a host computer using the
P3 port. Files that can be transferred using UDP are configuration files, language files and text "dumps" of all the
parameters shown on the MMI.
Configuration files and language files are formatted as Intel Hex files. The files contain a copy of the drive's configuration
and may be transferred either from the drive to the host computer, or from the host computer to the drive. Transferring a
configuration file to the drive will over-write all the drive's settings.
Language files contain information required to display parameters on the Display/Keypad in a language other than
English. These may only be transferred from the host computer to the drive. Contact Parker for further information.
MMI dumps are human readable text files showing all the parameters in the drive in the order they are shown on the MMI.
The files can only be transferred from a drive to the host computer.
System Port (P3) Set-up
When transferring data using UDP the communications settings used are:
Baud rate selected via the P3 BAUD RATE parameter, (Tag No 198).
1 Stop bit, (fixed)
No Parity, (fixed)
8 data bits, (fixed)
No flow control, (fixed)
UDP Transfer Procedure
UDP XFER (RX)
This is the transfer of either a language or a configuration file from the host computer to the Drive. The drive automatically detects whether the file is a
language file or a configuration file. Transferring a configuration file to the drive will over-write all the drive's settings.
1. Connect the Drive to the host using the appropriate lead.
2. Using a standard communications package prepare the host to transfer an ASCII file. Remember to set-up the host's serial port first.
3. Start the transfer on the Drive by selecting UDP XFER (RX) on the MMI and pressing the UP (↑) key, as instructed.
4. When the Drive says RECEIVING, begin the file transmission.
5. The Drive automatically terminates the UDP transfer when it detects the end of the Intel Hex end-of-file record.
