If you replace the hardware − e.g. on repair − technology function F01
must be enabled on the MASTERDRIVES MC unit using the PIN
number. Please consult sheet [850] in the function diagram to find out
how to check whether the technology option is enabled and, if not, how
to enable it.
Before replacing the hardware, copy all the MASTERDRIVES
parameters into a download file using DriveMonitor or keep your
archived download file at hand. After installing the new hardware,
perform a "parameter reset to the factory settings" - with reference to
the section of the same name in the "Parameterizing Steps" section of
the Compendium. Then download the file with DriveMonitor, in order to
restore the original parameter settings.
Please ensure if you use special signal sources that the switches on
sensor boards SBx and terminal expansion boards EB1 and EB2 have
the same settings as the old hardware.
Once technology option F01 has been enabled by PIN number [850], it
remains enabled even if the software on the unit is replaced/updated.
The PIN number is stored in a protected area of the parameter
memory. It is therefore not necessary to enable technology option F01
again after replacing the software.
If you obtain new firmware, use DriveMonitor to copy all the
MASTERDRIVES parameters into a download file before loading the
firmware into the flash EPROM of the MASTERDRIVES unit via the
"boot cable". Alternatively, keep your archived download file at hand.
After the booting procedure, perform a "parameter reset to the factory
settings" - with reference to the section of the same name in the
"Parameterizing Steps" section of the Compendium. Then download
the file with DriveMonitor, in order to restore the original parameter
settings.
The parameters in new software are normally fully backwardly
compatible with all software versions. However, there are
incompatibilities in the pilot versions before the release of the first
official version of technology option F01 together with basic unit
software version V1.2; see the section entitled "Modification history of
technology option F01".
