These alternative methods are described below.
Table 13- 4 Properties and requirements for the backup options
Backup on the controller
• Module replacement possible without PG
• Automatic sequence possible
⇒ The automatic sequence needs to be programmed by the user.
Backup in the STEP 7 project
• Download to the reader only possible manually in STEP 7
• No management of configuration versions
⇒ Only the last version is ever stored (no storage of older ver-
sions).
⇒ You need to update the configuration version in the project
Backup as an *.xml file on the
PC
• Configuration data is saved regardless of the project and control-
ler
⇒ The download to the reader can be performed manually using
the WBM or using the XML API by the user application.
• Option of copying for other readers of the same type
• Older configuration versions can be saved (versioning)
⇒ The updating and versioning of the configuration versions
needs to be started and managed manually by you yourself.
Using the "Config_Upload" and "Config_Download" blocks, you can read out
("Config_Upload") or write ("Config_Download") the configuration of the RF680R/RF685R
readers via the control program. Since the configuration is stored permanently, you need to
reserve a data block for this on 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.
You will find additional information on programming the blocks and the structure of the
configuration data in the section "Config_Upload/-_Download" in the manual "Ident profile
and Ident blocks, standard function for Ident systems
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/ps/14971/man
)".
