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.

These are the elements that are backed up or restored:

• Controller firmware.
• Date/Time - Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Set Time Zone settings.
• EtherCAT network topology.
• Kollmorgen servo drives firmware packages and their respective drive parameters.
• Network configuration.
• PLC Application.
• Retain Variables.
• Shared Directory settings.
• SSH Connection Enable/Disable configuration.
• User data files.
  • See User Data tab.
• Web server and SSH user accounts configuration.

Restore Notes

• 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.

• 
  
• • A PCMM2G backup created from any PCMM2G axis model can be restored on a different axis model.
  • The restored KAS project does not run if the physical axes need for the project is more than the restored model can support.

The Backup and Restore processes:

• Cannot be performed while an application is running.
• Takes several minutes to complete.
  • Do not power off the controller once started.
• The controller is rebooted after a Restore.
