Completing commissioning
Recommendation: check temperature characteristics
Check the long-term characteristics of the output stage temperature with FCT.
In the FCT, the temperature characteristics are displayed for a period of 30 minutes (FCT online tab
“Monitoring” ).
Recommendation: disable “Automatic saving” option
Under FCT [...][Controller] [I/O Configuration] disable the automatic saving of taught positions in the
Flash memory
Save parameterisation in the motor controller
1. Adopt device control in the FCT (reset controller enable)
2. With <Store>, back up the current parameterisation in the motor controller.
Creating a backup file
The creation of a backup file (Restore file) makes it possible:
– to parameterise a few motor controller quickly when replacing a device
– to commission several actuators quickly with the same parameterisation
– to restore the parameterisation of the motor controller
When creating a backup file, the complete parameter file is loaded from the motor controller and is
saved on the PC. If no valid parameter file is present in the controller, the default parameter file is
loaded and saved.
1. Adopt device control in the FCT (reset controller enable)
2. With <Store>, back up the current parameterisation in the motor controller.
3. In the FCT menu [Component][Online] Restore file..., <Back up device data>, save the
file onto a data carrier via the displayed Windows dialogue.
Transferring a backup file
To transfer a backup file from the PC to the motor controller:
Select [Component][Online] Backup Recovery ... “Recover” from the FCT menu.
After a restore: reboot the motor controller using the FCT menu [Component][Online] “Restart Con
troller” (or Power on/off )
