This function is used to replicate a PCMM or the controller portion of the PDMM. Clicking the button will save the data to the SD card.
The 1.2 GHz RuntimeIn computer science, runtime (or run-time) describes the operation of a computer program, the duration of its execution, from beginning to termination (compare compile time). Within KAS, runtime also refers to the virtual machine that manage the program written in a computer language while it is running firmware file is optional. If provided, an 800 MHz model can be replaced with a 1.2 GHz model. If the 1.2 GHz Runtime firmware file is not included, then an 800 MHz model can only be replaced with another 800 MHz model.
After starting the Backup, an alert will be presented to confirm the backup should proceed.
This function replicates the network topology as well as the AKD, PDMM, AKD-C, and AKD-N drives' unique ID, firmware and data. To accomplish the backup, a copy of the firmware package is required. There are several possible scenarios upon clicking this button.
- If an archived copy of the same firmware package is on the controller as is used on the drives then clicking the button will start the backup.
- If a copy of the firmware package cannot be found, you will be prompted to browser for one. A link to the Kollmorgen website is provided; all firmware packages can be found on the site.
- If an archive is found on the controller but it does not match the network configuration then you will be prompted to browse for one or download one from the website.
For all other EtherCAT devices, such as couplers, IOs, ServoStar drives, and third-party devices, only the unique ID is backed up.
