SD Card

On this screen, you can configure, save, and load files on the memory card.

During the loading/saving processes, the servo amplifier is disabled and then re-enabled. Depending on the function, the device may be reset and rebooted.Ensure that coupled loads are secured, particularly if they are suspended loads.

In the upper area of the screen, you can configure the data to be transferred. It makes sense to use the predefined configuration settings for the tasks performed most frequently:

complete Drive Backup: Complete data set including tuning and motion task data; e.g., for an identical replacement device at the same location.
Transferable Backup: Data set without tuning or motion task data; this can be transferred to an amplifier with a different rated current, for example.

You can also decide for yourself which data you would like to save or load. To do this, make your selection from the components that are available. There are various preset enforced connections available for these components; these help you avoid undesirable incompatibilities.

Firmware	Servo amplifier operating system, see KDN.
PLC	Macro Programming, see also the KDN page Macro Programming
MDB	Motor database, see KDN.
Profile Tables	Customer-specific Profile Tables, see the KDN page Acceleration Profile Tables
Parameter	Parameter set for the control loops and motor/feedback settings.
Motion Tasks	Definition of the Motion Tasks
Cogging Table	Data for Cogging Compensation of the connected motor. This data is only valid for the servo amplifier/motor combination for which it was produced.
Offset values	Offset data. This data is only valid for the servo amplifier/motor combination for which it was produced.
Safety Card Setting	Safety-related parameters of the Safety Card. This data is linked to the serial number of the installed safety card and cannot be used with other cards.

File extensions:

Backup Type	Extension

Delete File

The window in the bottom area displays the files available on the memory card. You can delete files. To do this, select a file in the window and click on the “Delete” button.

Load

The “Load From SD Card” button is not enabled until at least one component has been selected. Click on the button to open a file selection window:

In this example, the MDB (motor database) component has been selected; however, the memory card does not contain any files with the extension “.MDB”.

In cases like this, open the selection list for the file type and select “*.all”. All available files on the card will now be displayed.

Select the required file and click OK.

The data is now loaded to the servo amplifier. If no data is displayed, make sure the card has been formatted with a FAT32 file type.

Save

The “Save To SD Card” button is not enabled until at least one component has been selected. Click on the button to open a Save As window:

In this example, the MDB (motor database) component has

been selected.

Enter a file name and click OK. The data is now saved to the memory card.

Used ASCII parameters

CARDINFO	CARDINFO, displays the rating plate of the memory card (FAT32)
CARDDIR	CARDDIR, displays the root directory of the memory card
CARDDEL	CARDDEL, deletes a file from the root directory of the memory card
CARDSAVE	CARDSAVE, displays the root directory of the memory card
CARDUPDATE	CARDUPDATE, loads a firmware/data component from the card to the flash memory of the amplifier.
