8.3.1
Overview
Overview
The project needs to be adapted if you want to replace the type (e.g. D410‑2 DP ⇒ D410‑2 DP/
PN) or version of the SIMOTION device in your existing project.
Procedure
The exact procedure for project adaptations depends on the scope of the target hardware and
version changes.
An overview can be found in the Upgrade options overview (Page 262) figure.
8.3.2 Creating backup copies (project/CF)
Requirement
Before adapting the project, it is essential that you create the following backup copies:
● A backup copy of the project and
● A backup copy of the CF card contents, see Saving CF card data (Page 285).

8.3.3 Backing up user data (back up variables)
Overview
With the SCOUT functions "Save variables" and "Restore variables", you have the option of
backing up and restoring data that were changed during operation and only stored in the
runtime system. This is necessary if a SIMOTION platform is changed or a version upgraded,
for example.
The "Save variables" function creates XML files that can be saved in any folder.
