SIMOTION D410
Commissioning Manual, 02/2012

The following types of data can be backed up:
●
Remanent global device variables and unit variables, as well as TO retain data (V4.1 and
higher) that are located in the FRAM of the control
●
Data saved with _saveUnitDataSet or _exportUnitDataSet, and which are located on the
CompactFlash Card
Note
When performing an upgrade with a firmware version that is ≥ V4.1, this function is only
required for backing up and restoring unit data sets that have been created using
_saveUnitDataSet.
Retain and unit data (saved with _exportUnitDataSet) remain valid even after a version
upgrade.
SIMOTION retain data can also be easily backed up to a memory card without the use of
SIMOTION SCOUT. For this purpose, use:
•
The _savePersistentMemoryData function or
•
A SIMOTION D410 service selector switch, or IT DIAG.
For information on this, refer to the section titled Diagnostic data and non-volatile
