3.1.10.1 Saving and restoring configurations
3.1.10.1.1 Overview
This function allows saving and restoring the default configuration or restoring the factory configuration of
the drive. The configuration files require a password to avoid accidental changes.
Note
Saving factory defaults is not possible via firmware command. This must be performed offline. In case
needed please contact
The default values are loaded at startup, first the factory defaults (.factory_config), then the user
configuration (config.csv).
.factory_config contains the original configuration when the drive was shipped.
config.csv is updated every time the “save to device” button is pressed or the parameters are saved by
object 0x1010:1. This stores all parameters at once.
Use case
Restoring configurations can be used for example for testing parameters without saving and safely
going back to the last stable value. Saving the config.csv file can be used
as a backup
for comparing different configurations
for transferring the configuration to another drive.
The format for factory and user configuration files is CSV, so that it can be modified easily by text editor or
spreadsheet. Lines of the config.csv file can simply be copied over into the factory defaults file without
modification. The .factory_config file is protected and can not be changed or deleted by regular file
operations
Attention
The config.csv contains motor-individual parameters like the commutation offset or cogging
compensation. Moving the config.csv from one drive to the other may require adjusting some
parameters individually.
