7.25      NV Media Card
The NV Media Card used for backing up the drive parameters can be either a SMARTCARD or an SD card Adaptor with SD card. 
Table 7-39 NV Media Card operation, backup
7.25.1     Saving parameter set to NV Media Card 
• 4yyy - Saves all default differences to the NV Media Card 
The data block only contains the parameter differences from the last time the default settings were loaded. All parameters except those with the NC 
Not copied) coding bit set are transferred to the NV Media Card.
• N01 = Program (2) - Saves parameter set to the NV Media Card 
Setting Parameter Cloning Modes (N01) to Program (2) and resetting the drive will save the parameters to the NV Media Card this is the equivalent of 
writing 4001 to Pr mm00. If the data block already exists, it is automatically overwritten. When the action is complete this parameter is automatically 
reset to None 0).
7.25.2     Reading parameter set from NV Media Card 
• Parameter N01 = Read (1)
Setting Parameter Cloning Modes (N01) to Read (1) and resetting the drive will transfer the parameters from the NV Media Card into the drive 
parameter set and the drive EEPROM, i.e. this is equivalent to writing 6001 to Pr mm00. Once the parameters are successfully copied this parameter 
is automatically reset to None (0). Parameters are saved to the drive EEPROM after this action is complete.
7.25.3     Auto saving parameters to NV Media Card 
• Parameter N01 = Auto (3)
This setting automatically saves any changes made to User menu A parameter set to the NV Media Card. The latest User menu A parameter set in 
the drive is therefore always backed up on the NV Media Card. 
If the NV Media Card is removed when Parameter Cloning Modes (N01) is set to Auto (3) Parameter Cloning Modes (N01) is then automatically set to 
None 0).
When a new NV Media Card is installed Parameter Cloning Modes (N01) must be set back to Auto (3) by the user and the drive reset so the complete 
parameter set is rewritten to the new NV Media Card if auto mode is still required. 
When Parameter Cloning Modes (N01) is set to Auto (3) and the parameters in the drive are saved, the NV Media Card is also updated, and therefore 
the NV Media Card becomes a copy of the drives stored configuration.
When installing and removing the NV Media Card beware of possible live power terminals which could result in a safety hazard and 
electric shock. All safety cover must be installed and power terminals shrouded to avoid the risk of death or serious injury.
When reading a parameter set from a SMARTCARD, SD card to the drive during setup this can result in the control I/O firstly defaulting 
and then changing to the configuration on the SMARTCARD,SD card. Ensure during this process all control terminals are removed from 
the drive and any SI-I/O module to prevent uncontrolled operation of external devices and the risk of damage to the system.
