130 Program features
Drive programming
The functionality of the drive can be extended and modified for various needs of the
user. This can be done by using a drive programming feature with the optional
DriveSPC PC tool. You can create a tailor-made application program with the
standard IEC 61131 function blocks and thereby adapt the drive to the elevator
system without additional hardware or software. For more information, contact your
local ABB representative.
Backup and restore of drive contents
The drive offers a possibility of backing up numerous settings and configurations to
external storage such as the internal memory of the drive control panel and a PC file
(using the DriveStudio tool). These settings and configurations can then be restored
to the drive, or a number of drives.
Backup using the control panel includes
• Parameter settings
• User parameter sets.
Backup using DriveStudio includes
• Parameter settings
• User parameter sets (four)
• DriveSPC lift control program.
For detailed instructions for performing the backup/restore, see chapter Using the
control panel or the DriveStudio documentation.
Limitations
A backup can be done without interfering the drive operation. But restoring a backup
always resets and reboots the control unit, so restore is not possible with the drive
running.
Restoring backup files from one firmware version to another is considered risky, so
the results should be carefully observed and verified when done for the first time.
The parameters and application support are bound to change between firmware
versions and backups are not always compatible with other firmware versions even if
restore is allowed by the backup/restore tool. Before using the backup/restore
functions between different firmware versions, refer to the release notes of each
version.
