Activating device replacement

Activate the functions for device recovery under [Data management] in the "Initialization" area.

Controller replacement function

The current failsafe data of the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER is stored once on the OMH memory card. This means that the OMH memory card stores all the data that is required when replacing the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER so that the system can run again in the same way as before the replacement.

Axis replacement function

The MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER offers the function of saving complete data sets of its lower-level devices to an SD or CFast memory card. Such data sets are, for example, axis data sets of MOVIDRIVE® devices and safe parameter sets of a safety option. You can use this function after an inverter replacement (including safety option), for example, to automatically transfer the saved data sets from the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER to the new device.

The "Restore axis data sets via controller" function can be activated in MOVISUITE® in the parameter view of the controller under [Data management]. Selecting "Event for starting restore" in the same configuration menu offers the following options:

  • Parameter set difference – Axis data sets are restored if a different CRC is detected, which means that the parameter set is not identical.
  • Device replacement – Axis data sets are restored if a different UUID, and consequently a device replacement, is detected.

INFORMATION

The axis replacement function is only required for inverters without replaceable memory module.

The following devices are supplied with replaceable memory module as standard:

  • MOVIMOT® flexible
  • MOVIMOT® performance
  • MOVIDRIVE® technology
  • MOVITRAC® advanced with safety option

INFORMATION

If you only operate devices with replaceable memory modules on the fieldbus gateway, SEW‑EURODRIVE recommends deactivating the axis replacement function.
