AcroBASIC Command | 9000/9030/9040 | Aries CE Controller |
FLASH ERASE | Erases the user image from flash | Erases stored programs |
FLASH LOAD | Loads the user image from flash. | Loads programs from flash |
FLASH RES | Command returns the controller to factory settings. Performs the following actions:
| Command returns the controller to factory settings. Performs the following actions: Erases motor configuration and user programs (ERASE + FLASH ERASE) |
FLASH SAVE | Stores an image of the user programs and PLC programs in the flash. If the image is detected in the flash on power-up, the card will load user programs and PLC†s from flash instead of relying on the battery backup memory. User Global Variables reside in battery backup memory and are not affected by the program transfer. | Saves all programs to flash |
FLASH IMAGE | stores an image of the user programs and PLC programs, as well as the User Global Variables If an image is detected in the flash on power-up, the controller loads the user programs, PLCs, and user variables from flash instead of relying on the battery backup memory. | Saves all programs to flash |
ESAVE | stores system parameters into flash system parameter section to be retrieved on power-up or by issuing an ELOAD command | N/A |
ERASE | erases all system parameter information from the flash system parameter. When you next cycle power, the controller uses the factory default settings or flash values. NOTE: This command should be used with caution since it destroys setup information. NOTE: returns IP address back to default. NOTE: Program memory allocation is stored in battery-backup RAM, not in the EEPROM. NOTE: FLASH commands (FLASH SAVE, FLASH ERASE, etc.) have no effect on the system parameters.
| Erases motor configuration parameters and drive setup parameters and sets them to their defaults. Does not erase stored programs
Erased drive and axis parameters
