5.3 Archiving PL/X recipes
After a w orking set of parameters and configuration connections has been created, it is recommended that
an archive of the recipe be made for back up purposes. There are 2 tools available for creating an archive.
1) Hypertermi nal in windows accessories. See 10.2.1 PARA METER EX CH A NGE / Drive transmit.
Hyperterminal loads or saves a file directly to / from the NON volatile memory of the PL/X in binary form.
This un-editable file is a complete set of S A VED parameters, ideal for e-mail and archiving.
Advantages. Very compact file. Complete record of every parameter including motor and model ratings. Easy
to archive and identify files.
Disadvantages. Not editable. Will overwrite 680)Iarm BURDEN OHMS, 2)RA TED ARM AMPS and 4)RA TED
FIELD AMPS w hich will then need re-entering for models and/or motors of different rating to source file.
2) PL PILOT running on windows. See 10.2.5 Parameter exchange using ASCII CO MMS
And 13.1.1 PL PILO T configuration tool.
PL PILOT loads or saves a file directly to / from the volatile memory of the PL/X in editable form.
This editable file is the displayed parameters and configurable connections, but does not include Armature
current or Field current or special factory parameters. It is ideal for local archiving of working parameters. It is
possible to archive the file on other computers (details in PILOT tool HELP button) or email the file, however
the Hyperterminal tool is a better suited for file transfer bet w een directories or via email.
Advantages. Very easy to use and allo ws editing of recipes. Sections of recipes may be saved. Versatile
monitoring and diagnostics included. Very useful commissioning tool when used with Laptop PC.
Disadvantages. Will not overwrite 6 80)Iarm BURDEN OHMS, 2)RA TED ARM AMPS and 4)RA TED FIELD
A MPS which will then need entering by hand using drive keys. A wkward to transfer files to other PC.
