Non-Volatile Simotion Data (Retain Data); Save Diagnostic Data During Running Operation - Siemens SIMOTION D410-2DP/PN Installation Manual

9.2.2.2

Non-volatile SIMOTION data (retain data)

In addition to the diagnostic data, non-volatile SIMOTION data (retain data) is also saved on
the CompactFlash card. Use the function when the non-volatile SIMOTION data has not been
saved on the CompactFlash card using the _savePersistentMemoryData system function but
you wish to restore the non-volatile SIMOTION data after a CPU has been replaced.
Note
While the non-volatile SIMOTION data is stored as a "PMEMORY.XML" backup file in the
"...USER\SIMOTION" directory using the _savePersistentMemoryData system function,
backing up diagnostic data and non-volatile data stores the data in the "...\USER\SIMOTION
\HMI\SYSLOG\DIAG" directory.
9.2.3

Save diagnostic data during running operation

Options
The advantage of backing up diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data during
operation is that enhanced diagnostic information via HTML pages and TO alarm information
is available.
Data are backed up:
● Using "Diagnostics > Diagnostics Files" in SIMOTION IT web server; see Section Back up
diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data via the web server (Page 312)
● Via the DIAG button
● Via the service selector switch
Backup of the data via the DIAG pushbutton (preferred solution)
The diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data can be created in the STOP, STOPU,
and RUN operating states.
1. Press the DIAG pushbutton.
The diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data are backed up to the CF card.
The backup task progress is displayed by the RUN/STOP LED flickering yellow.
2. The backup is finished when the RUN/STOP LED flickers green.
Switch off the SIMOTION D410-2.
3. Remove the CF card.
Backup of the data using the service selector switch (alternative)
The positions of the mode switch are not relevant, i.e. the set operating mode remains
unchanged.
