HIM CopyCat Function

PowerFlex 750-Series drives and PowerFlex 7-Class drives provide a CopyCat function that enables you to upload
individual parameter sets for the host drive or any of its connected peripherals into the HIM. Furthermore, an Upload All
Ports function enables you to conveniently upload multiple parameter sets for the host drive and all of its connected
peripherals in one single file. In either case, this information can then be used as backup or can be transferred to another
drive or peripheral device by downloading the file from the HIM's memory.
The Upload All Ports and Download All Ports functions are only available for the host drive (Port 00) due to their unique
TIP
functionality.
Before beginning the Download All Ports function, verify that your option cards are located in the same ports as the drive you are
TIP
copying the parameters from. Also, verify the port you are working on before beginning the CopyCat from Device to HIM function.
The CopyCat function also enables you to rename or delete individual or multiple parameter sets stored in the HIM.
The HIM can store up to 50 individual parameter sets or up to 5 multiple parameter sets. Due to the memory capacity of
the HIM, these maximums will vary when storing combinations of individual and multiple parameter sets.
Generally, the upload or download transfer process manages all conflicts. However, the download will stop and a text
message will appear if any of the following conditions exist:
• A device mismatch, such as firmware revision, device type, or device series is detected.
• The drive is password protected.
• The drive is running.
You then have the option to completely stop the download or continue after noting the discrepancy for the parameters that
could not be downloaded. These parameters can then be manually adjusted.
When using the HIM with a PowerFlex 753 drive with firmware revision 1.05 or earlier, or a PowerFlex 755 drive with firmware
IMPORTANT
revision 1.10 or earlier, the CopyCat function cannot upload/download DeviceLogix values for DLX Out xx and DLX In xx parameters
and DeviceLogix program routines. Drives with a later firmware revision support this function, but the HIM does not support screen
formatting for the DeviceLogix program.
