The Restore operation discovers the devices 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 compares the physical topology information to the topology information stored in the backup. A Restore will detect the replaced AKD devices and restore them. Advanced users can manually select the specific AKD devices and restore them. The backup files containing the topology information, AKD firmware file, and AKD parameters are retrieved from the controller’s local storage.
| Controller | Local Storage |
|---|---|
| PAC | Compact Flash Card |
| PDMM or PCMM | SD Memory Card (see SD Card Support for more information) |
The application will start immediately after the Restore operation is complete if the Autostart option is enabled on the controller. Be sure to Restore all of the replaced devices and the EtherCAT device order is correct. DisableRemoval of the ENABLE signal. Disables power stage. the Autostart option before commanding the Restore operation if you want to check the devices before starting the application.
The EtherCAT Devices Backup and Restore feature may be used in EtherCAT networks which have third party devices, but only the Kollmorgen AKDs can be backup and restored. Specific configurations applied to third party devices with non-Kollmorgen tools have to be reapplied when the third party device is replaced.
When the restore is complete, the web server will indicate whether it was successful.
