Loading know-how protected data to the file system

Data with know-how protection can be directly loaded or saved to the file system from the drive
unit. The activated know-how protection ensures that the data cannot be forwarded to
unauthorized third parties.
The following applications are conceivable at the end user:
● Adaptations of encrypted SINAMICS data are required.
● The memory card is defective.
● The Control Unit of the drive is defective.
In these cases, the OEM can create a new encrypted subproject (for a drive object) via
STARTER. The serial number of a new memory card or a new Control Unit is saved in this
encrypted data record in advance.
Application example: Control Unit is defective
Scenario:
The Control Unit of an end user is defective. The machine manufacturer (OEM) has the end
user's STARTER project files of the machine.
Sequence:
1. The end user sends the OEM the serial numbers of the new Control Unit (r7758) and the
new memory card (r7843), and specifies the machine in which the Control Unit is installed.
2. The OEM loads the STARTER project data of the end user.
3. The OEM performs the STARTER function "Load to file system" (see Chapter Save data
to the file system (Page 43)).
– The OEM specifies whether the data is to be stored zipped or unzipped.
– The OEM makes the required know-how protection settings.
4. The OEM sends the stored data to the end user (e.g. by e-mail).
