8.7.3 I/O Maintenance
The I/O maintenance function is used to save and browse the I/O related settings defined in
the drive or a definition file saved in the drive. Download/uploading of only I/O definition data
can be performed with the drive connected.
An I/O data file is saved as a text file. Although it is not necessary to be aware of the file
format, a brief description of the file format is given below:
(1)
It contains drive information, and is processed as comments.
(2)
It consists of hard I/O assignments, hard I/O logical settings, logic I/O initial value
setup information and translated comments.
The utility software issues a software reset to the drive after downloading all I/O settings in
order to reflect the settings as a download sequence. The drive is set to the servo OFF state
during a reset operation. Therefore, be sure to check safety before operating.
