Rockwell Automation 1557 MEDIUM VOLTAGE AC DRIVE - Manual (Page 170)

7-46 OPERATOR INTERFACE TERMINAL PV-550 REV E
1557-UM050F-EN-P – June 2013
Parameter Transfers
The parameters which the drive uses are stored within the drive itself. The terminal is used to
review and modify these parameters. When a Drive Control Board is changed, it is necessary to
re-enter the parameters into the new board. The terminal can simplify this process by reading all
the parameters from the old Drive Control Board and storing them either in the terminal or on a
flash card. When the new board has been installed, the previously stored parameters are then
downloaded to the new board.
The flash card provides an added benefit when more then one drive is using the same set of
parameters. Parameters can be entered on the first drive, then uploaded and stored on the flash
card. The flash card may then be taken to the remaining drives and the parameters downloaded
to those drives.
Note: This feature does not replace the saving of parameters to the Drive EEPROM, refer to
section “Store/Retrieve Drive Configuration (EEPROM)”. After downloading parameters, they
must still be saved within the drive in order to make them permanent.
To transfer parameters, press the [F4] key from the TRANSFER screen. The screen shown in
Figure 76 will be displayed. (If nothing happens then you have not gained the required access to
modify the flash memory. Exit to the TRANSFER screen and refer to the section entitled
“Enter/Modify a Password (Access)” to gain access). Within this screen it is possible to perform
four different parameter transfers.
Upload to Terminal
The parameters are read from the drive and stored in the terminal by pressing the [F5] key. The
screen will appear as in Figure 77, indicating the operation you are about to perform. The screen
will then ask you to confirm the operation. Press the [F8] key to proceed, or the [F9] key to abort.
Performing a “DRIVE TO MEMORY” transfer will overwrite any previous parameters stored within
the terminal.
