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. You can use these in situations where the non-volatile SIMOTION
data has not been saved on the CompactFlash Card using the _savePersistentMemoryData
system function, and you wish to restore the non-volatile SIMOTION data after a CPU has
been replaced.
Note
While the non-volatile SIMOTION data are stored as a "PMEMORY.XML" backup file in the
"...USER/SIMOTION" directory using the _savePersistentMemoryData system function,
backing up diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data involves storing data in the "...
\USER\SIMOTION\HMI\SYSLOG\DIAG" directory.

Procedure for backing up during operation

Procedure
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
● Using a service selector switch (see description below)

Procedure for backing up during operation (Page 204)
– Using SIMOTION IT web server;
The web server also offers the option of fetching diagnostic data online.
– Using a service selector switch
up during startup (Page 205)
– Using a service selector switch
– Controlling diagnostic data creation using an INI file stored on the CF card
Note
An Ethernet or PROFINET interface is required for the SIMOTION IT web server. For
this reason, the web server is only available on the SIMOTION D410 PN, not the
D410 DP.
