AutoMax Programming Executive Version 3.x

AutoMax Processors and UDC modules will be deleted by StopĆAll

faults or commands.
The effect of a Stop All on data in the rack depends on the data type.

Local tunable data in both AutoMax and UDC application tasks is

always retained. Local data is retained for AutoMax tasks, but not for

UDC tasks. Common memory data, which can be defined in the

Variable Configurator for AutoMax Processors only, is maintained

when it is configured as nonĆvolatile. Otherwise, it is reset to 0. For

I/O data, inputs are retained and continue to be updated, while

outputs are reset (set to 0 or off). Note that the UDC dual port

memory is treated like I/O data in the system.
AutoMax Processors will retain the last values of all local variables

and nonĆvolatile common memory variables. All I/O input values are

retained and continue to be updated. All I/O outputs in the rack and

in any remote I/O racks will be reset.
UDC modules will retain their parameter configuration data, UDC test

switch information, D/A setup configuration, local tunable variables,

and the following input data: feedback registers and UDC task error

log information.
UDC modules will NOT retain local variables and data found in the

following registers, which are considered outputs: command

registers, application registers, the ISCR (interrupt status and control

register), scans per interrupt register, and scans per interrupt counter

register. The UDCĆPMI communication status registers will not be

retained.
For Distributed Power Drive applications, the PMI Processor

connected to UDC modules will react to a Stop All as follows. All I/O

in the PMI rack, including the rail I/O and I/O connected to the

Resolver and Drive I/O module, is reset. Because a Stop All causes

the CCLK signal being used to synchronize UDC and PMI Processor

communication to be turned off, the UDC and PMI will become

unsynchronized. The PMI Processor reacts to all serious

synchronization problems in the same way: armature and field

current reference will be set to 0, and the PMI Processor will continue

commanding 0 current until it senses discontinuous conduction. At

this point, the PMI Processor will turn off the MĆ contactor output

signal on the Resolver and Drive I/O module in the PMI rack.

10.13 Forcing a Cold Start/Deleting Operating

Systems

At times it may be necessary to cold start the Processor(s) to erase

the contents of RAM. Because of the onĆboard battery backĆup, you

cannot erase the contents of RAM simply by cycling power. To force a

cold start, perform the steps below.
Before proceeding, note carefully that this operation will erase the

contents of RAM for all Processors in the rack and that it will require

reĆloading the AutoMax OS, the rack configuration and all application

tasks. Make certain that you have an accurate backup of all tasks in

the rack, including utility tasks. See 14.3.1 for more information on

utility tasks.
Read all directions carefully before starting the procedure.
1. Turn off power to the system. All power to the rack, as well as all

power leading to modules in the rack, must be off.
