Just curious....where are the parameters for a 6500, actually stored. Are they always in the PLC and sent to the drive on initialization? Are they stored in both the PLC and Kinetix and sync'd on initialization. I know at least the IP is resident in the 6500, but anything else? Since most of the info is provided in the axis configuration, I'm thinking it's all in the PLC.
I had another vendor try to tell my customer that the reason his program locks up on powerdown, is that AB told him the 6500's are losing their configuration and that the only way to recover is to download the PLC program after each power outage. I know that's a load of crock but I have to be politically sensitive. Pretty sure the vendor's program is getting virtual axis errors on brownout and they have no MASR/MAFR recovery anywhere in their code.
