Import of parameters
When you click the Import button you are asked for an import file.
The file is sent to the NETA-21 and the progress dialog box is shown. The NETA-21
supports the NETA-21, NETA-01 and DriveWindow parameter export files for importing.
Note: The format of the parameter import file is compatible with the NETA-21 parameter
export files, NETA-01 parameter export files and DriveWindow 2.x parameter export .txt
files (but not with DriveWindow parameter .dwp save files).
Make sure that you import/export parameters only between identical drives and device
software versions.
It may be necessary to power cycle the drive and reload the device interface in the NETA-
21 to see all effects of parameter changes, especially if monitored devices change their
device interface node ID.
Note: The parameter import does not open a parameter lock or handle all dependencies
between parameters. Sometimes it helps when you import a parameter file multiple times.
Note: For the ACS800 firmware, the parameter import restores ID run parameters if those
are included in the parameter file. In addition, only visible parameters are restored.
WARNING! Make sure that you can start the drive safely before using the
parameter import function. Imported parameter settings must to be compatible
with the specific drive. When you import specific parameter configurations you
can cause the drive to start during or after the parameter import. (Control words or signals
in groups <10 are not written to a drive during the parameter import).
