Restore Controller

The Backup and Restore functions are used to replicate a Kollmorgen controller.

The controller data is replicated on these storage devices:

• AKD PDMM and PCMM: SD card.
• PCMM2G: USB "Universal Serial Bus" USB is a serial bus standard to interface devices flash drive.

The elements that are backed up or restored for all controllers are the:

• Controller firmware.
• Network configuration.
• 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.
• Retain Variables.
• Shared Directory settings
• User data files.
  • See User Data tab for more information.
• Web server and SSH The Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) is a network protocol for secure data communication and remote command execution. SSH applications are based on a client–server architecture, connecting an SSH client instance with an SSH server. user accounts configuration.

PCMM2G Backup / Restore Only

• Backup:
  • AKD and/or AKD2G firmware packages and their respective drive parameters.
  • 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 network topology.
• Restore:
  • 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 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.

• If a valid firmware file is found, and the current topology matches the backup file, select the devices that need to be restored.
• Click Restore EtherCAT Devices restores the drive's firmware.
