3.1 Backing up user data
3.1.1 This is how you backup user data
Application
A backup of the data in the complete memory is generated with the "Save data" function.
This data backup must be performed for every control that has been commissioned in order
to be able to quickly restore the control system in the case of data loss. If the "Create
software backup" function is used, then it is essential to backup the memory data.
With the data backup, a copy of the limited buffered memory is stored in the permanent
memory. Backup of selected data (e.g. only machine data and no workpiece programs) is
not possible.
Data can be backed up without a password: i.e. always!
Note
Data backup
After making important changes to the data, immediately backup data, e.g. after the
1st commissioning and the 2nd commissioning.
Backing up data
Preconditions:
● The control system has powered up.
● The power supply voltage is guaranteed during the data backup.
Proceed as follows to generate the internal data backup:
1. Press the <MENU SELECT> key.
2. Select the "Start-up" operating area.
3. Press the "Save data" softkey.
