Option program (Opt.Prg) type data block

This type of data block contains a user program from an applications module. Data transfers to copy data to and from a SMARTCARD in this format

are initiated with values from 15yyy to 20yyy in Pr x.00. If the action is not possible because there is no applications category module in the requested

slot then Pr x.00 remains at the value set by the user. If the action is not possible for any other reason a C.SLx trip is produced where x is the slot

number. The possible reasons are:

1. The data block to be read from the card does not exist or the data block is of the wrong type.

2. The data block to be written to the card already exists.

3. A failure has occurred within the Solutions Module and it has stopped the transfer process.

4. The data block written to the SMARTCARD is not clonable. Allow cloning within CTSoft and SyPTPro.

When transferring data between drives the following should be noted:

Parameter transfer failure

When parameter or default difference data is transferred to the drive the parameters are automatically saved to drive EEPROM. If the transfer from

the card fails for any reason the drive produces the appropriate trip. If the failure occurs after the transfer has begun, it is possible that some, but not

all the parameters will have been updated with the card data. However, if the transfer fails the parameters are not saved to drive EEPROM, therefore

only the RAM values will be incorrect. If the drive is powered down and then powered up again the original drive parameters will be restored.

Read-only function

Data blocks with numbers from 1 to 499 can be created or erased by the user. Data block with numbers 500 and above are read-only and cannot be

created or erased by the user. The whole card may also be protected from writing or erasing by setting the read-only flag. If the card or a data block

on the card is read-only, then the operation to erase the whole card is disabled.

Different voltage ratings

If the voltage rating of the source and destination drive are different then the parameters are transferred with the exception of rating dependent

parameters (RA attribute set, see table below), which are left at their default values. In this case a C.rtg trip is given as a warning that this has

happened. It is possible to suppress this warning trip for any data transfer to the drive, including a boot transfer at power-up by setting the warning

suppression flag for the whole card.

Different Solutions Modules installed

If the categories of the Solutions Modules installed to the source drive are different to the destination drive then the parameters are transferred with

the exception of the parameters in the menus of the modules that are different. These parameters are left at their default values. In this case a C.Optn

trip is given as a warning. It is possible to suppress this warning trip for any data transfer to the drive, including a boot transfer at power-up by setting

the warning suppression flag for the whole card.

Different current rating with a parameter file type data block

If the current ratings of the source and destination drive are different and the parameters stored as a parameter file (not differences from default) then

rating dependant parameters are set to their defaults and a C.rtg trip is produced as described above where the voltage ratings are different. It is

possible to suppress this warning trip for any data transfer to the drive, including a boot transfer at power-up by setting the warning suppression flag

for the whole card.

Different current rating with difference from defaults type data block

If the current ratings of the source and destination drives are different, but the parameters are stored as a difference from defaults file, the rating

dependant parameters are transferred from the card to the drive and the appropriate maximums are applied. The C.rtg is still produced unless it is

suppressed. To ensure that the performance of the destination drive is similar to that of the source drive, the speed controller gains and current

controller gains are scaled as shown in the table below. Note that the gain scaling is only applied when the data block number is less than 500.
