36 SI-Ethernet User Guide
Issue: 3
6 Parameters
The Ethernet interface holds two parameter databases; the Ethernet interface internal parameter
database and the host drive's parameter database.
The Ethernet interface internal parameters can be accessed from the drive's keypad, a user
program in a MCi200/MCi210 option module, PC Tools applications software or a module in
another slot of the drive. The notation S.mm.ppp is used to access these parameters where S is
the slot number, mm is the menu number and ppp is the parameter number. For example, to
access Pr 02.004 of a MCi210 installed in slot 2 of a drive from a module in slot 3, it will be
accessed using Pr 2.02.004.
The Ethernet interface will also hold a copy of the host drive's database. At power up, if the stored
drive database is different to that of the drive, the Ethernet interface will upload the drive's database
and overwrite the stored database. If the two databases match, the drive's database will not be
uploaded.
A module that is powered up for the first time will not contain a drive database and therefore will
perform a drive database upload.
