The
This section, therefore, only applies to replacement of an Altivar 38 equipped with this type of card.
This only applies if the drive IP address is supplied by a DHCP server, i.e., if the drive IP address is set to 0.0.0.0 and the FDR function has been enabled ([FDR validation] (FdrU) parameter set to [Yes] (YES)).
The
Important: It is essential to transfer the name of the Altivar 38 to the Altivar 61:
Before turning off the Altivar 38 to be replaced, check its DHCP name (its "DeviceName") from the
Procedure on the Altivar 38:
1Select "Parameter 05"
2Use the arrow keys to enter the value "4" and press ENT; this value is reset shortly afterwards by the drive.
3Select "Parameter 01"
4Note down the value which then appears: "xxxx" (between "0" and "9999").
The drive DHCP name is based on this value and becomes: "ATV_xxxx".
E.g., "ATV_0004" instead of "4".
You should then transfer this DHCP name to the Altivar 61 using the graphic display terminal or the PowerSuite software tool.
From the main screen, open the [7.0 - DISPLAY CONFIG.] menu then [7.1 - USER PARAMETERS] and [DEVICE NAME]; use the navigation button as well as function keys
F1, F2, F3, F4 to enter the text "ATV_xxxx", in our example ATV_0004.
3.10. 6. Faulty Device Replacement (FDR)
Activating the service
The FDR service is only supported by version 2.1 of the VW3 A58310 Ethernet option card.
This section, therefore, only applies to replacement of an Altivar 38 equipped with this type of card.
If the Altivar 38 to be replaced was using the FDR service (IP address set to 0.0.0.0 and FDR service activated/enabled), the Altivar 38 configuration should be transferred to the Altivar 61 following the procedure described below:
1With the Altivar 38 supplied with power, retrieve the drive configuration using the PowerSuite v2.40 software workshop; save this configuration in order to create an original ATV38 configuration file.
2Turn off the Altivar 38.
3Now implement the hardware (Altivar 61 and VW3 A3 310 Ethernet card).
4In the PowerSuite software workshop, transfer the configuration retrieved from the Altivar 38 to the drive; this has been processed by the PowerSuite software workshop to make it compatible with the Altivar 61.
5Modify the [Ethernet local conf] (LCFG) = [Yes] (YES) parameter and also the DeviceName (ATV_xxxx).
6Start up the
7The drive configuration is automatically saved in the server.
8Once it has been saved at least once, modify parameter [Ethernet local conf] (LCFG) = [No] (nO).
9Use a Web browser to connect to the Ethernet card HTTP server, then access the "FDR Agent" page located in the "Setup" menu, and press the "Save" button.
Incompatible FDR files
VW3 A58310 Ethernet card FDR files are incompatible with those on VW3 A3 310 Ethernet cards.
The procedure for replacing an Altivar 38 with an Altivar 61 on an Ethernet network, described above, causes the FDR file for Altivar 38 present on the FDR server to be lost.
However, the drive configuration can be retrieved in the PowerSuite software workshop if it has been saved to a file, and the Altivar 38 that has been replaced still has its configuration.
It is, therefore, possible (if necessary) to rebuild the original FDR file on the FDR server. The procedure for doing this is similar to the procedure described above.
