Power-up and non-volatile SIMOTION data
The table below lists the cases that can arise during power-up in conjunction with the non-
volatile SIMOTION data and explains how they are handled.
Table 3-3
Cases: Power-up with non-volatile SIMOTION data
Cas
e
Initial condition Result
1 The non-volatile SIMOTION data are valid Startup of SIMOTION D410 with the non-volatile
SIMOTION data. The PROFIBUS address in non-volatile
data are therefore valid, for example.
2 The non-volatile SIMOTION data are invalid and there is
no
backup file (PMEMORY.XML) and no backup copy of
the backup file (PMEMORY.BAK).
SIMOTION D410 copies the factory defaults to its non-
volatile SIMOTION data and restarts using this data. In this
case, for example, the default PROFIBUS address is used.
3 The non-volatile SIMOTION data are invalid and a
backup file (PMEMORY.XML) exists and is valid
SIMOTION D410 copies the contents of the backup file to
its non-volatile SIMOTION data and starts using this data.
4 The non-volatile SIMOTION data are invalid, the backup
file is invalid and there is no backup copy of the backup
file (PMEMORY.BAK).
SIMOTION D410 copies the factory defaults to its non-
volatile SIMOTION data and restarts using this data. The
default PROFIBUS address is valid in this case, for
example.
5 The non-volatile SIMOTION data are invalid; a backup
file exists, but it is invalid; a backup copy of the backup
file exists and is valid.
SIMOTION D410 copies the contents of the backup file to
its non-volatile SIMOTION data and starts using this data.
Non-volatile SIMOTION data diagnostics
Users
can determine the status of non-volatile SIMOTION data by reading the diagnostic buffer
and the system variables.
Evaluating via the diagnostic buffer
When they are issued, the following messages are entered once in the diagnostic buffer:
Table 3-4 Messages of the diagnostic buffer
Entry Meaning Remedy
Non-volatile data loaded from file
(Persistent Data File Loading done)
Non-volatile SIMOTION data has been
successfully restored from the backup
file on the CF card.
-
Non-volatile data loaded from the backup file
(Persistent Data Backup File Loading done)
Non-volatile SIMOTION data has been
successfully restored from the backup
copy of the backup file on the CF card.
-
Error while loading non-volatile data from a file
(Persistent Data File Loading Failure)
Backup file or backup copy could not be
loaded.
Possible causes:
●
Backup file or backup copy not
available
● Invalid data in backup file
Use the
_savePersistentMemoryData
system function to generate a
backup file with valid contents.
