You will need to open a new file in PowerTools Studio software and manually recreate your program. You can use Cut/ Copy-Paste for user programs, however, be careful of any references made to drive or module inputs, drive or module outputs or menu parameters as the syntax may have changed. For example: 18.01 is now 18.001 in the PTi210. File –> Import is a feature that is being slated for a future release of PowerTools Studio software for importing file types .EZM and .EZME into PowerTools Studio. Please check back soon for future updates supporting this feature.
How can I get my saved .EZM or .EZME file to work with the PTi210?
Do I need AC Input supply power on my drive to program or go online with a PTI210?
No, the user can provide external +24 Vdc to the appropriate drive terminals to go online with or program a new or existing PTi210 module.
No, the SD card cannot be used to save a PowerTools Studio program. The user must use PowerTools Studio software to save a program for the PTi210.
Can I use a SD card to back up my PowerTools Studio program?
Will PowerTools Studio software open my saved program I am using with SM-EZ Motion?
No, it will not. PowerTools Pro v6.0 is needed to open any .EZM or .EZME file types.

Look for any SI module with royal blue plastic on the bottom of the module; this color is used to identify the PTi210 as seen below:
For M700, M701 and M702 drives, navigate to drive parameters 15.001, 16.001 & 17.001; if any of these parameters equals 320 this indicates PTi210 is fitted to the respective drive slot. 15.001 is drive Slot 1 Module ID, 16.001 is drive Slot 2 Module ID & 17.001 is drive Slot 3 Module ID. For M750 (Digitax HD) and M751 (Digitax HD) drives, navigate to drive parameters 15.001, 16.001; if either of these parameters equals 320 this indicates PTi210 is fitted to the respective drive slot. 15.001 is drive Slot 1 Module ID and 16.001 is drive Slot 2 Module ID.
How can I tell if my drive has a PTi210 module fitted to one of the dive slots using the drive keypad?
Do I need to provide an external +24 Vdc power supply to use the PTi210 I/O?
Yes, the user must provide an eternal +24 Vdc power supply.
If my computer supports it, can I use a standard serial cable to program a Digitax HD (M751) or M701 drive using PowerTools Studio software?
No, the CT-USB-CABLE has a built in RS232 to RS485 converter that is needed to program a drive. Also note that the drive must have a PTi210 module attached to it to support PowerTools Studio.
