3.2 Generating a commissioning archive
Overview
A commissioning archive is used to completely backup all of the data required for the
machine function.
A commissioning archive can be generated on an external data carrier, e.g. USB-FlashDrive
or CompactFlash card at the front panel of the control as well as on the system
CompactFlash Card.
Note
Data must always be backed up before a machine is delivered. Only then can it be ensured
that in the case of service, the delivery condition of the machine can be restored.
In addition, it may be necessary to generate a commissioning archive before service
activities are started. This means that it can be guaranteed that the actual state of the
machine can be restored after the activities have been completed.
