4.2

Downloading a Configuration to the Drive

You can copy the opened configuration currently in the WebPakCS software to the
connected drive.

Important: If WebPak 3000 parameter changes are disabled by the drive’s Program

Protection jumper (J16), you cannot write parameters to the drive.

To download an opened configuration to the connected drive, follow these steps:

Step 1. Make sure the personal computer is connected to the drive. Refer to sections

2.2 and 3.1 if you need instructions for connecting the personal computer to a
drive.

Step 2. Make sure the drive is stopped before downloading a configuration to the

drive.

Step 3. From the Config menu, choose Download, or click

.

Step 4. If the downloaded configuration contains parameter values that are out of

range for the drive, the software on the drive modifies these parameter
values to bring them within allowed ranges. If this occurs, a message box
asking if you want to do a Config Compare is displayed. This dialog box
displays the differences between the downloaded configuration and the
configuration currently in the drive.

4.3

Comparing the Drive Configuration to the Opened
Configuration

You can compare all of the parameter values in the opened configuration with the
parameter values in the drive. To compare the parameters in an open configuration
with those on the drive, follow these steps:

Step 1. Make sure the personal computer is connected to the drive. Refer to sections

2.2 and 3.1 if you need instructions for connecting the personal computer to a
drive.

Step 2. From the Config menu, choose Compare Drive.

!

ATTENTION: The download command replaces the parameter values in
the drive with the parameter values from the open configuration. Only
qualified personnel should develop and download drive configurations.
Read and understand the drive instruction manuals in their entirety
before downloading a configuration. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
