Backup on the controller
Using the "Config_Upload" and "Config_Download" blocks, you can read out
("Config_Upload") or write ("Config_Download") the configuration of the readers via the
control program. Since the configuration is stored permanently, you need to reserve a data
block/a variable for this in the controller.
To check the correct configuration, you can read out the version ID (Config ID) of the reader
with the reader status and compare this to the Config ID that was stored in the controller
earlier with the "Config_Upload" command in the data block / in the variable.
You can find more information on programming the blocks and the structure of the
configuration data in the section "Config_Upload/-_Download" of the manual "Ident profile
and Ident blocks, standard function for Ident systems
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109793329)".
