Restore Tab

Restore Controller	This function restores a AKD PDMM or PCMM's firmware, network configuration, retained variables and PLC "Programmable Logic Controller" A Programmable Logic Controller, PLC, or Programmable Controller is a digital computer used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events application from the SD card.
Restore EtherCAT ***EtherCAT 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 Devices	This function automatically restores the data and firmware of any replaced AKD or AKD2G drives, and the station alias of other EtherCAT devices.
Advanced	Clicking this button creates a map of the network and it's components. If a valid firmware file is found and the current topology matches the backup file you may select the device(s) that need to be restored. Clicking Restore selected devices will restore the drive's firmware.
