9.19 Memory card
In the top of the servo amplifier there is a card
reader for memory cards. The firmware and a full
set of parameters (with control buttons and
setup software) can be stored on the memory
card and reloaded onto the servo amplifier.
MMC and SD cards are supported. This function
means that a replacement device or identical
shafts in standard production machines can be
set up very quickly and easily.
Uploads and Downloads from and to the
memory card can be started with the keypad or
with the setup software using.
Operating with ASCII commands is described in
the KDN on page "Memory Card" beschrieben.
Always switch off the S700 before inserting or removing the memory card. If an absolute
encoder is used, homing must be carried out before the parameters are loaded into a new
device.
To download new firmware to an amplifier without a PC connection, proceed as follows:
1. Save the firmware to be programmed onto a memory card under the name “default.s19"
(S-record format) or ”default.bin" (binary format).
2. Disconnect the power to the amplifier (24 V supply OFF) and insert the card in the memory
card slot on the amplifier.
3. Press and hold down both operating keys ( ) and switch on the 24 V supply
voltage to the amplifier. “—” appears in the display to indicate that the monitor program has
been activated. In case of access problems the drive display shows the letters “CCC”. The
interrupted command proceeds after re-insertion of the memory card.
4. Press both operating keys again to start the update process. The progress of the update
can be monitored in the display:
First, the firmware is downloaded from the card to the internal memory.
During this phase, the display counts from 0 to 100.
Next, the internal firmware memory is deleted. During this phase, 100 is displayed per-
manently.
Once the firmware memory has been deleted, the firmware is written. This phase is
indicated in the display by the display counting backwards from 100 to 0.
5. Once programming has been completed, the firmware is started automatically.
The parameter file can also be loaded automatically on a restart. If a parameter file with the
name “default.par” has already been saved on the memory card, it will be loaded by the firm-
ware at this point. This allows automatic updating of firmware and parameters.
