I'm headed to my shop right now to try an experiment. I'm trying to find out if the PowerFlex 700s can swap control boards and successfully power up to be able to retrieve the parameters from the alien board. I don't know if PF700s can do this, but we've successfully done it with other brands. But some are not as friendly, because they are matched to the other boards. For example, my senior tech tells me Schneider Electric (Square D) drives are like that, and the parameters are reset to default.
So, if anyone has thoughts or experience on this, please post them. It'll take me a while to get set up. The bummer is that the drives are slightly different sizes. But these are replaced drives that I hold onto for labs like this. They are essentially throw-away drives.
I'll post the results.
