Backup and Restore from the Web server

The Backup and Restore functions are used to replicate a Kollmorgen controller.

The controller data is replicated on the PCMM2G USB flash drive.

All Controllers

The elements that are backed up or restored for all controllers are:

• Controller firmware.
• Network configuration.
• PLC Application.
• Retain Variables.
• Shared Directory settings.
• User data files.
  • See User Data tab.
• Web server and SSH user accounts configuration.

PCMM2G Backup / Restore Only

  • SSH Connection Enable/Disable configuration.
  • AKD / AKD2G / Kollmorgen Essentials Drive firmware packages and their respective drive parameters.
  • EtherCAT network topology.
• Restore:
  • The drive's data and firmware are copied from the USB flash drive to the controller flash when the Restore Controller function is selected.
  • The Restore EtherCAT Devices function should be selected for restoring the data and the firmware of any replaced Kollmorgen AKD Series Servo Drives.

The Backup and Restore processes:

• Cannot be performed while an application is running.
• Takes several minutes to complete.
