SMARTCARD operation

7.1

Introduction

This is a standard feature that enables simple configuration of parameters in a variety of
ways. The SMARTCARD can be used for:
• Parameter copying between drives
• Saving whole drive parameter sets
• Saving 'differences from default' parameter sets
• Storing Onboard PLC programs
• Automatically saving all user parameter changes for maintenance purposes
• Loading complete motor map parameters.
Refer to Figure 7-1 for installing the SMARTCARD. Ensure the SMARTCARD is
inserted with the MP arrow pointing upwards.
The drive only communicates with the SMARTCARD when commanded to read or
write, this means that the card may be 'hot swapped'.
Be aware of possible live terminals when inserting or removing the SMARTCARD.
