Section 8-4: Saving a Parameter Set to a PC
The following steps outline the procedure for saving parameter sets to a PC.
1.
Ensure that the ACS410 software is open, and the PC is connected to the LMV3 at the
service or OEM level. See previous sections if necessary. The LMV3 must have a burner ID in
order to perform a parameter backup. The burner ID is set via parameter 113.
2. Click on the “Backup / Restore” tab. Click on “Backup” in the lower right corner.
3. A box will appear called “Backup description”. The default file name is the current date and
time. It is highly recommended to change the file name to something more job-specific.
Additionally, information can be added for description, device number, burner type, and burner
serial number. Once all of the relevant information has been entered, click “OK”.
4. After about a minute, a box should appear stating that the backup was successful and the
backup file should now be listed on the screen. The default location for storing parameter sets
is
C:\Program Files (x86)\Siemens\ACS410\bkp . Notice that two files are created in this folder:
one with a .bkp file extension and one with a .unl file extension. Both files are necessary in
order to view the parameter set or restore it to an LMV3.
Note: The parameter set is stored in machine language, so it is not useful as a startup report.
See the following section called “Creating an LMV3 Startup Report” for the procedure for
creating and printing a comprehensive startup report.
