Explanations on data backup
User data
User data refers to all data or data areas that can be entered by the user to achieve the
specific functionality of the SINUMERIK 840Di and the connected drives.
In the case of a data backup, e.g. after commissioning of the control system, the user data
selected through the user interface are written to a so-called series startup file.
After a series startup file has been read in, the control system is in its original status again as
it was at the time of data backup.
Time of data backup
Experience has shown that the following times can be recommended for carrying out data
backups:
●
After commissioning
●
After changing machine-specific settings
●
After service, e.g. after replacement of a hardware component, software upgrade, etc.
●
Before activation of memory-configuring machine data. A warning prompting you to back
up is displayed automatically.
