Cause: Pre-settings Transfer Error comes when the preset configuration has not been transferred properly. This could be due to corrupted configuration files, communication issues, or compatibility problems.

"CFI3" - Pre-settings Transfer Fault in a Schneider ATV950 drive indicates that there is an issue with transferring pre-settings or configuration data to the drive. This could be due to corrupted configuration files, communication issues, or compatibility problems. Here are steps to troubleshoot and resolve the CFI3 fault:

1. Verify Configuration File:

• File Integrity: Ensure that the configuration file being transferred is not corrupted. Try reloading the configuration file.
• File Compatibility: Confirm that the configuration file is compatible with the drive’s firmware version. Incompatible files can cause transfer faults.

2. Check Communication and Connections:

• Physical Connections: Inspect all connections between the configuration device (e.g., PC, USB, memory card) and the drive to ensure they are secure.
• Communication Settings: Verify that communication settings (e.g., baud rate, protocol) are correctly configured on both the drive and the configuration device.

3. Inspect the Configuration Device:

• Device Health: Ensure that the device used to transfer the configuration (e.g., PC, HMI, USB stick) is functioning properly.
• Cable Condition: Check the condition of any cables or adapters used for the transfer process.

4. Retry the Transfer:

• Reattempt Transfer: Retry the configuration transfer process. Sometimes a simple retry can resolve temporary glitches.
• Alternative Method: If using a specific method (e.g., USB stick), try an alternative method (e.g., direct connection to a PC) to transfer the pre-settings.

5. Firmware and Software:

• Firmware Updates: Ensure that the drive's firmware is up-to-date. Firmware updates can resolve issues related to configuration transfers.
• Software Tools: Use Schneider Electric’s configuration software tools (e.g., SoMove) to facilitate the transfer process and diagnose issues.

6. Drive Settings:

• Parameter Check: Verify that the drive parameters are correctly set to accept configuration transfers. Incorrect settings may block the transfer process.
• Reset Drive: Perform a factory reset of the drive if necessary, and then attempt to transfer the configuration again.
