Ignore saving file on Ptools/Drive revision conversion.
On a download PowerTools Pro checks the firmware revision of the module that it is about to be downloaded to and is
required to make changes to files that are to be downloaded to older firmware revisions. This check box allows the user to
avoid saving the newer file before converting it to a previous revision.
Overwrite – Reset the NVM configuration.
When this option is selected the "Overwrite" function will default on every download to the module. This function will
overwrite the entire FM-4 configuration including user defined NVM parameters as set in the NVM setup area of PowerTools
Pro.
Note
It is required to Overwrite the Non-Volatile Memory on the first download to the module since no Non-Volatile Memory
parameters have been loaded into the drive on initial startup.
Update – Upload the values into the current Update PowerTools configuration.
When this option is selected the "Update" function will Update the NVM on every download to the module. Upon download
the Update function uploads the configured NVM from the drive and places the data into the PowerTools Pro configuration
file. The software then downloads this newly updated file to the module.
Keep – Remember the values, and restore them after the download.
This option was created to allow users to save the values that have been changed via HMI, PLC or internally in a program so
long as they have been added to the NVM list. When this option is selected PowerTools Pro will poll the drive on download
for all of the values that have been added to the NVM list. PowerTools Pro then stores these values into a temporary memory
location and after the program download is complete PowerTools Pro reinstates these values to the parameters before the
drive can be enabled.
Ask on each download.
This option was created for users who want control of whether they will overwrite or keep the NVM on download. When this
option is selected, PowerTools Pro will display a pop-up window that gives the user the option to Overwrite, Update, or Keep
as described above.
