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.
  • 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.
