Options for Multiple Configuration Files

The drive can operate with multiple motors that may vary in size. The drive uses multiple
parameter configuration files to accomplish multiple motor operation. There is one master
configuration file that is always named current cfg. The slave files are stored on the
CompactFlash card in a subfolder of the 'CfgFiles' configuration folder named 'SubCfgs'. The
slave files can have any legal name conforming to the "xxxxxxxx.yyy" file naming convention.
File extension for slave configuration files
The file extension of slave configuration files is always '.sfg'. You cannot add or change the file
extension for the slave configuration files through the menus. Choose 8 characters only for the
file name.
Press [ENTER] to save the parameters as they exist in memory to a new configuration file name.
This file will be stored to the CompactFlash card in the 'SubCfgs' subdirectory. This function does
not make this configuration file the active configuration file. It uses the current data in memory
to create a new slave configuration file. Any parameter that is saved to a slave configuration file is
identifiable by the small 's' adjacent to the parameter ID number if it has not been changed from
the default setting, or a '$' if it has been changed from the default setting, for example (s9586)
or ($9586).
Creating configuration files
You can create configuration files at runtime in the drive's memory and then store them to the
CompactFlash card.
Create slave files via the keypad menus. To do so, set the slave parameters as desired and write
them to the CompactFlash card, see Table Slave Setup and Configuration Parameters.
You may set up to 8 SOP flags to point to a configuration file. Use the menus to map each SOP
flag to a corresponding configuration file. Once mapped, use the SOP flags to activate the SOP
for a particular motor.
