5. Parameter Data
The DataLogger Series 4 can store parameter data from a drive. When a DLS4 is connected to a
powered-on drive, it will automatically upload the current parameters into Slot 0. This parameter set may
be used to “undo” any changes made while troubleshooting an issue. Note that Slot 0 will be overwritten
on each power up.
The DLS4 can store up to 10 additional parameter sets. The parameter data can then be easily
transferred to other drives with the same model, software version, control method, and motion. The
parameter data sets can be individually cleared and renamed from the default naming convention (which
is the model type and model)
. See the “Parameter Backup Menu” section starting on page 22 for detailed
navigation information.
5.1 Read Parameters from Drive to the DLS4
The user can store up to 10 parameter sets on the DataLogger Series 4, plus the one parameter set (slot
0) that gets automatically stored when it is connected to a drive. The automatically-stored parameter set
cannot be overwritten manually but will be automatically overwritten when the DLS4 is unplugged and re-
plugged into a drive
or the drive’s power is cycled. See the “Read Parameter Data” section on page 22
for detailed information and instructions.
5.2 Write Parameters from DLS4 to the Drive
The stored parameter data on the DataLogger Series 4 can be written to a drive of the same type, model,
firmware version, control method, and motion.
See the “Write Parameter Data” section on page 23 for
detailed information and instructions.

an RJ45 cable to connect the DLS4 to the drive.
