EtherCAT Devices Backup and Restore

The AKD PDMM or PCMM can backup/restore EtherCATClosed ***EtherCAT is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT was to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs devices on an EtherCAT network.

This feature:

  • Is useful as a maintenance operation to replace any AKD or AKD2G drives in an operational machine.
  • Reduces the manual steps for saving/loading each drive’s firmware and parameters into a few automated steps.

The Backup/Restore functionality is located in the controller's web server and is accessible from a web browser.

See Using the KAS Web Server, Backup tab, and Restore tab for more information about the webserver.

IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger help.
