seimens micro master 420

replacing this drive is the program and parameters in the saved in the front module it is using profibus for its coms

Normally not. If an AOP is attached you might have luck and have a copy in it.

Is the 'old' drive totaly dark?

no it is not i have to go through each parameter and wright them down and then enter them in the new drive. i think

What kind of load does the 420 run? Any digital (OFF2/3/ Jog..?) or analog input connected (internal pressure/flow/temp PID)?

If it is a 'simple' kind of load, you shouldn't need to bother about many of the parameters.

Check the 'cuick commissioning' chapter in the manual. There the most relevant parameters are listed.

How are the dip-switches of the profi module set? If all are 0, you'll find the node address in P918.

i went through and copied all of the parameters most of them are at default need to find out what software is needed to upload paramerters and then down load so that next time i will not spend so much time doing this

thanks

drivemonitor or starter usually free for download thru Siemens support but you will need an interface and cable 6SE6400 1PC00 0AA0

Or as described if you have an Advance keypad (AOP) it could save and load parameters set.

It is best to do a factory reset before downloading if the used drive isn't 100% brand new not used.

Be carefull if you do it mannually, few parameters have index that could use 3 differents configuration for 3 different modes or motors
