Figure 12:
Change Address
On the Device menu, choose Change Address. This allows the user to change the Modbus node address of a drive/module
system. The user must be online with the device for Change Address to be available. The user will be prompted for the new
node address. After entering the new node address, click OK. The drive will immediately change to the new address.
Download
Download will send the active configuration from the PC to the target node address (specified on the Setup view). For more
information on Downloading, see Section 4 - Communications in this manual.
Disconnect
Selecting Disconnect will terminate communications between the PC and any nodes the PC is online with.
Upload Drive
Upload Drive will upload only the node address specified in the active configuration. To use Upload Drive, open a new file
and set the Node Address on the Setup view to the address you wish to upload. Then on the Device menu, choose Upload
Drive. This will overwrite the active configuration with the uploaded data.
Upload NVM
Selecting Upload NVM will read the current value from each of the parameters in the EZMotion's NVM memory and display it
in the PowerTools Pro configuration. The file can then be saved to retain the current values stored in NVM.
Update Drive
Selecting Update Drive will send any parameters that have been changed since the last download into RAM. Doing so allows
the user to send changes to the system without requiring a complete download. Certain parameters when changed require a
complete download and cannot be sent to RAM. If one of these parameters is changed, Update Drive will be unavailable on
the Edit menu.
Reconnect
Selecting Reconnect from the Device menu will reconnect communications from the target node to the PC. Reconnect allows
PowerTools Pro to go online without needing to perform a full upload or download.
In order for reconnect to work, the active file in PowerTools Pro must be exactly the same as the file that resides in EZMotion's
