Chapter 5 - Configuring Impulse with an IDC Keypad
5-10

Using the COPY Menu

Downloading project files between keypads and Impulse or between keypad and PC can save a
significant amount of time when configuring your drive with an FP100 keypad.
Press COPY for the following two options:

FROM PAD

This option allows you to send the currently open project file to the
drive. Answering YES to the send prompt will send the open
project file and overwrite the current setup in the drive.

TO PAD

Allows you to retrieve the current setup from the drive. Answering
YES to the retrieve prompt will extract the project file from the
drive and make it the “open” file in the keypad. The extracted file
is not saved to non-volatile memory and must be saved under EDIT
> FILE > SAVE if the data is to be stored.
Applicatio n Note: Keypads do not provide the same decimal-level precision as IDC’s Application
Developer software. A project file created at higher precision will cause a “precision error message”
when loaded into a keypad.
