Downloading Parameter Values
Parameter values can be downloaded from the drive to the toolbox to restore the
drive settings to the drive from a toolbox configuration file. A download is necessary
when a wizard is executed or when drive parameters are modified in the Offline
mode. Downloading parameters sends the values to the drive. There are two types of
downloads:
• If the four setup files have been uploaded from the drive and are not out of date,
they are downloaded to the drive.
• If no setup files exist or they are out of date due to changes made to the
configuration file, the drive is restarted in the Setup mode and new setup files
are created in the drive.

Downloading Firmware
For this function to be enabled, you must be at
Privilege Level 4 and operating in Expert Mode
(see Chapter 3).
Before downloading new firmware, ensure there is a
copy of the latest drive configuration file. All settings
are erased when new firmware is downloaded to the
drive.
Generally, this feature is not
necessary since the drive is
shipped with the correct
firmware already installed. The toolbox allows you to update the drive's firmware. Although seldom used, this
function may be necessary when new features are added to the drive.

firmware.

Upgrading a Configuration).
