Machine status following read-in
After reading in, the machine has exactly the status that was previously defined with the archive
type. The import differs principally with the following behavior:
Backup (for users)
● The existing control data are overwritten by the data from the DSF archive and may be
added to the machine status.
Setup (for manufacturers)
● The data from the DSF archive map the exact status of the previously stored control.
● The control system is generally reset when starting the reading process.
Precondition
● Access level "Manufacturer" is required to read in an archive.
● Access level "User" is required to read in a backup (backup of the same control)
● You have a commissioning archive in the format *.dsf or *.arc.
