AKD Backup/Restore Compatibility

The replacement AKD must have the same model number as the AKD that was originally stored in the backup. The Restore operation compares the model numbers between the backup and the replacement AKD. The restore will not be allowed if they are not compatible.

To check the model number on your AKD, see the sticker on the side of the drive.
To check compatibility between your replacement drive and the backup, replace the AKD on the EtherCATEtherCAT 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 network, and press the Scan network button.
- The web server displays the physical topology and allows you to restore the selected drives if the backup and replacement drives are compatible.
- The web server displays the backup and physical topology and indicates the non-compatible drives if the backup and replacement drive are not compatible, .

The serial number (SN) is displayed in the Physical topology web server view and on the sticker affixed to the AKD. You can use the serial number to match the actual hardware with its representation on the web server.
