8.2 Diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data
8.2.1 Overview
With simple operation actions (e.g. by setting the switch position) and without the need for
the SCOUT engineering system, you can:
● Back up diagnostic data, including non-volatile SIMOTION data (retain data) to the
CompactFlash card; for information, see Section Backing up diagnostics data an
d non-
volatile SIMOTION data (Page 359).
● Back u
p HTML pages (including the most up-to-date content) to the CompactFlash card
for diagnostic purposes; for information, see Section Diagnostics via HTML pages
(Page 367).
● Res
tore backed-up non-volatile SIMOTION data (retain data); for information, see
Section Deleting/restoring non-volatile SIMOTION dat
a (Page 368).
8.2.2 Backup of diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data
8.2.2.1 Diagnostic data
Following a fault on a SIMOTION device, diagnostics data (e.g. diagnostic buffer content, up-
to-date content of HTML pages, etc.) can provide important information on the cause of the
fault. For this purpose, data can be backed up to the CF card via a "simple operator action"
(e.g. via Service selector switch or DIAG button on the D4x5-2).
You then have the following options for the diagnostics data:
● You can retrieve it from the CF card using a card reader
● You can download it using IT DIAG or FTP
You can also use it for diagnostic purposes or provide it to technical support for evaluation
purposes.
