switched o󹪜. Information is subsequently provided as to how you can retentively save online
data or o󹪠ine data.
Requirement
• A project has been created.
• For activated user management (UMAC):
The function rights for editing drive data are activated for your user account.

(

settings in Startdrive".
Retentively saving online data
You are connected online with the drive; save your con󹪝guration as follows:
1. In the function view of the active Startdrive project, click on icon (retentively save data
of the complete device).
OR
2. In the project tree of your drive device, double-click on "Online & Diagnostics".
– In the secondary navigation select menu "Functions > Backup/Restore".
– In the "Retentively save RAM data" area, click "Save".
The system checks whether a memory card is available. If an appropriate memory card is
detected, then the parameter values are retentively saved to the memory card.
Retentively saving o󹪠ine data
When retentively saving data, it is important that the settings made are not only saved on your
operating unit in the Startdrive project, but also permanently saved on the drive memory card
(also known as "save retentively" or "RAM to ROM"). An online connection must be established
to the drive for this purpose.
1. Establish an online connection to your drive.
2. Load the project data into your drive.
3. Click the icon in the function view of the active Startdrive project.
The current project settings are stored retentively on the memory card of the drive.
