SINUMERIK 840D/810D Start-Up Guide (IADC) – 03/2006 Edition
Data Back-up
11.1 General
A data back-up is needed
S after start-up
S after changes to machine-specific settings,
S after servicing (e.g. after hardware is replaced or a software upgrade), to
ensure that operation can quickly be resumed,
S during start-up before altering the memory configuration to make sure that
no data are lost during start-up.
The complete data back-up routine for SINUMERIK 840D is subdivided into the
following:
1. Data back-up for NCK, drive and front operating panel settings
2. Data back-up for PLC and data back-up for HMI
The following data back-up methods are used. They have different purposes:
1. Standard system start-up
So-called standard system start-up files are created to ensure that a certain
configuration can be transferred entirely to other controls running the same
software releases (e.g. running on the same type of machine) as easily as
possible. This type of file cannot be modified externally using an ASCII edi-
tor. Series start-up files contain all relevant settings (except for compensa-
tion data). Standard system start-up files should be created for NCK, PLC
and for the HMI
2. Series start-up with compensation data
3. Software upgrade
4. Archiving by area
– Archiving by area is the exception since both machine data 11210 and
the standard system start up allow you to define whether modified ma-
chine data should be backed up.
The data on the PLC and the HMI data are not broken down further.
The data back-up ensures that the protection levels set for the definition files
and cycle directories are also backed up and can be restored during standard
system start-up.
