Backing up data and series commissioning
7
External data backup
After commissioning, your settings are saved in the inverter so that they are protected
against power failure.
We recommend that you additionally back up the settings on a storage medium outside the
inverter. Without backup, your settings could be lost if the inverter develops a defect.
Replacing the Control Unit without data backup (Page 386)
The following storage media are available for your settings:
● Memory card
● PG/PC
● Operator panel
Note
Data backup using Operator Panels with USB connection with the PG/PC is not possible
If the inverter is connected to a PG/PC via a USB cable, you can save any data on the
memory card using an Operator Panel.
•
Before you save data to the memory card using an Operator Panel, disconnect the USB
connection between the PG/PC and inverter.
Carrying out series commissioning
Series commissioning is the commissioning of several identical drives.
Precondition
The Control Unit to which the settings are transferred has the same article number and the
same or a higher firmware version as the source Control Unit.
Overview
You must proceed as follows to carry out series commissioning:
1. Commission the first inverter.
2. Back up the settings of the first inverter to an external storage medium.
3. Transfer the settings of the first inverter to another inverter via the storage medium.
