Saving log files 
(service files)
Data relevant for service purposes can be saved in a .zip file. Creating a service 
file is generally recommended should an error occur with the MANUALplus 
620. This file contains useful information, especially for the HEIDENHAIN 
Service department during troubleshooting.
The following data (and other information) is saved in the service file:
 Error log file
 Keystroke log file
 Log files of the IPOs and the PLC
 Information on hardware setup and firmware versions
 Machine parameters
 Information and log files of the operating system (can be partially activated 
via HE Logging settings)
 Contents of PLC memory
 Error outputs and configuration files of the PLC compiler
 Current Feature Content Level (FCL) and active software options, including 
the option designations through the file PLC:\service\SIK.INFO
The control automatically packs the data into a *.ZIP file. You can choose any 
name for the ZIP file. The MANUALplus 620 proposes the standard name 
SERVICE[number].ZIP. With any other number, as well, the MANUALplus 620 
automatically appends a serial number to the file name.
Path: TNC:\[name][number].zip
To save log files:
 Call the error window by pressing the ERR key.
 Press the LOG FILES soft key
 Press the SAVE SERVICE FILES soft key
 Enter a file name for the service file
 The control automatically creates the *.ZIP file TNC:\[name][1].zip
If more than one service *.ZIP file is contained on the control, the files are 
numbered in increasing order. The file with the number 1 is always the file 
just generated.
