The SMARTCARD has 999 individual data block locations. Each
individual location from 1 to 499 can be used to store data until the
capacity of the SMARTCARD is used. With software V01.07.00 and later
the drive can support SMARTCARDs with a capacity of between 4kB
and 512kB. With software V01.06.02 and earlier the drive can support
SMARTCARDs with a capacity of 4kB.
The data block locations of the SMARTCARD are arranged to have the
following usage:
Table 11-1 SMARTCARD data blocks
‘Differences from default‘ parameter sets will be much smaller than
whole parameter sets and thus take up a lot less memory as most
applications only require a few parameters to be changed from the
default setting.
The whole card may be protected from writing or erasing by setting the
read-only flag as detailed section 11.2.9 9888 / 9777 - Setting and
clearing the SMARTCARD read only flag on page 151.
Data transfer to or from the SMARTCARD is indicated by one the
following:
• SM-Keypad: The decimal point after the fourth digit in the upper
display will flash.
• SM-Keypad Plus: The symbol 'CC' will appear in the lower left hand
corner of the display
The card should not be removed during data transfer, as the drive will
produce a trip. If this occurs then either the transfer should be
reattempted or in the case of a card to drive transfer, default parameters
should be loaded.
11.2 Transferring data
Data transfer, erasing and protecting the information is performed by
entering a code in Pr xx.00 and then resetting the drive as shown in
Table 11-2.
Table 11-2 SMARTCARD codes
Where yyy indicates the block number 001 to 999. See Table 11-1 for
restrictions on block numbers.
N
If the read only flag is set then only codes 6yyy or 9777 are effective.
11.2.1 Writing to the SMARTCARD
3yyy - Transfer data to the SMARTCARD
The data block contains the complete parameter data from the drive, i.e.
all user save (US) parameters except parameters with the NC coding bit
set. Power-down save (PS) parameters are not transferred to the
SMARTCARD.
With software V01.06.02 and earlier, a save must have been performed
on the drive to transfer the parameters from the drive RAM to the
EEPROM before the transfer to the SMARTCARD is carried out.
4yyy - Write default differences to a SMARTCARD
The data block only contains the parameter differences from the last
time default settings were loaded.
Six bytes are required for each parameter difference. The data density is
not as high as when using the 3yyy transfer method as described in the
previous section, but in most cases the number of differences from
default is small and the data blocks are therefore smaller. This method
can be used for creating drive macros. Power-down save (PS)
parameters are not transferred to the SMARTCARD.
The data block format is different depending on the software version.
The data block holds the following parameters:
Software V01.06.02 and earlier
All user save (US) parameters, except those with the NC (Not copied)
coding bit set or those that do not have a default value, can be
transferred to the SMARTCARD.
Software V01.07.xx
All user save (US) parameters, except those with the NC (Not copied)
coding bit set or those that do not have a default value, can be
transferred to the SMARTCARD. In addition to these parameters all
menu 20 parameters (except Pr 20.00), can be transferred to the
SMARTCARD even though they are not user save parameters and have
the NC coding bit set.
Software V01.08.00 onwards
All user save (US) parameters including those that do not have a default
value (i.e. Pr 3.25 or Pr 21.20 Encoder phase angle), but not including
those with the NC (Not copied) coding bit set can be transferred to the
SMARTCARD. In addition to these parameters all menu 20 parameters
(except Pr 20.00), can be transferred to the SMARTCARD even though
they are not user save parameters and have the NC coding bit set.
It is possible to transfer parameters between drives with each of the
different formats, however, the data block compare function does not
work with data produced by different formats.
Writing a parameter set to the SMARTCARD (Pr 11.42 = Prog
(2))
Setting Pr 11.42 to Prog (2) and resetting the drive will save the
parameters to the SMARTCARD, i.e. this is equivalent to writing 3001 to
Pr xx.00. All SMARTCARD trips apply except 'C.Chg'. If the data block
already exists it is automatically overwritten. When the action is
complete this parameter is automatically reset to nonE (0).
11.2.2 Reading from the SMARTCARD
6yyy - Read default differences from a SMARTCARD
When the data is transferred back to a drive, using 6yyy in Pr xx.00, it is
transferred to the drive RAM and the drive EEPROM. A parameter save
is not required to retain the data after power-down. Set up data for any
Solutions Modules installed are stored on the card and are transferred to
the destination drive. If the Solutions Modules are different between the
source and destination drive, the menus for the slots where the
Solutions Module categories are different are not updated from the card
and will contain their default values after the copying action. The drive
will produce a 'C.Optn' trip if the Solutions Modules installed to the
source and destination drive are different or are in different slots. If the
data is being transferred to a drive of a different voltage or current rating
a 'C.rtg' trip will occur.
The following drive rating dependant parameters (RA coding bit set) will
not be transferred to the destination drive by a SMARTCARD when the
rating of the destination drive is different from the source drive and the
file is a parameter file (i.e. created using the 3yyy transfer method).
