S200-VTS Product Manual
4.1.4
Motor Feedback Configuration
The S200 Base Unit drives only support SFD motor feedback. If you are using SFD motor
feedback, no further configuration is needed. If you want to use SinCos or ComCoder as motor
feedback, you must use the AUX FB (J14) connector, which is not available on Base Unit
drives.
4.1.5 Save
Options
There are three types of Save options. It is important to know how to use each type to ensure
that configurations are not lost.
Download NV
– This button will save the parameter settings displayed in S200 Tools to the
selected drive. These parameters are saved to the drive's permanent memory and are recalled
during a power-up cycle.
Download Drive
– This button will save the parameter settings displayed in S200 Tools to the
selected drive/node. However, unlike Download NV, these parameters are only saved to the
drive's temporary RAM and will not be recalled at a power-up cycle. It is recommended that you
use the Download Drive button when testing settings. Once you are satisfied with the settings,
click the Download NV button to permanently save the settings to the drive.
Save/Save As
– You can also save the settings of a drive as a configuration file (*.S2C).
Remember, saving a configuration file does NOT save the settings to the drive. Configuration
files can be helpful for saving multiple drive setups. You can easily download a setting to a
drive by opening the configuration file in the Offline mode and clicking the Download NV/Drive
buttons once the proper drive is selected in the Online mode. It is recommended that you save
a configuration file for each setup.
