13 Data Backup
13.1 Introduction
Backup
recommended
When servicing it is often necessary or advisable to back up certain control data!
You should always back up the original machine parameters before you make any changes
to the settings of the machine. This can be done on the hard disk of the iTNC 530 without
having to transfer data to an external medium.
--> See ”Create copy of original MP file” on page 30 – 574.
Moreover, all PLC data, i.e. the specific machine data determined by the manufacturer, are of
priority interest for service technicians.

The machine data for the factory default condition of the machine tool are often
enclosed with the machine (e.g. on CD-ROM, DVD, USB flash drive) or can be obtained from
the machine tool builder.
If permanent changes were made to the machine (e.g., NC software update,
modifications, etc.) that result in changes or adaptations of the machine data (machine
parameters, PLC program, etc.), a new backup must be created for this machine!

For creating backups with TNCremoNT, the use of the Ethernet interface is advisable. It is
always integrated in the iTNC 530 and represents the fastest mode of data transfer.
Individual or several files and directories can quickly be read in and out with a USB stick
without any large effort.
