Restore Controller
This function restores an AKD PDMM or PCMM's firmware, network configuration, retained variables, user data, 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.
PCMM2G
This function restores PCMM2G’s firmware, network configuration, retained variables, user data, and PLC application from the USB "Universal Serial Bus" USB is a serial bus standard to interface devices flash drive.
- The drive's data and firmware is copied from the USB flash drive to the controller flash when the Restore Controller function is selected.
- The 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 function should be selected for restoring the data and the firmware of any replaced AKD or AKD2G drives.
Restore EtherCAT Devices
This function automatically restores the data and firmware of any replaced AKD or AKD2G drives and the station alias of other EtherCAT devices.
