Business logic for the creation of the Restore USB stick
The following requirements must be met:
• You need a USB stick with at least 16 GB free memory.
To create the USB stick use, for example, the SIMATIC IPC Service USB FlashDrive
(6ES7648-6XA11-0YA0). Alternatively, you can also use other bootable USB sticks with a
minimum size of 16 GB.
• Make sure that PowerShell (version number 3.0 - 5.1) is installed in Windows.
• To create the stick you need administrator rights under Windows.
• If you create the USB stick on another Windows 10 PC, connect a CFast card reader to record
the 128 GB CFast card.
Creating a bootable Restore USB stick
The Restore USB stick is used to restore the delivery state of the CFast card:
• Restoring the delivery state is only possible on the Open Controller CPU 1515SP PC2.
When creating on a Windows PC, the user must use a CFast card reader and insert the
supplied CFast card.
If the "System" partition on the CFast card is error-free, use the Open Controller
CPU 1515SP PC2 directly.
• If the "System" partition on the CFast card is damaged, use a Windows 10 PC with Windows
10 Build 1607 or later for restoring.
Use the following steps to ensure that you can restore the system if an error occurs:
NOTICE
Data loss
All existing data on the USB stick is deleted when you create the USB restore stick.
Back up the data on the USB stick before you create the USB restore stick.
1. The "Restore" partition of the CFast card contains the file "E:\Create-RestoreUsb.Ink". Open
this file.
Note
When you create the USB restore stick on a different Windows 10 PC, the drive name might be
different from "E".
2. To obtain the full administrator access token, confirm the UAC (User Account Control)
through administrator logon information. Enter an administrator password. The script in the
Powershell is started.
3. Insert the USB restore stick into the PC.
Please note that the script will be ended if a USB stick is not inserted within 60 seconds after
the prompt.
4. Confirm the deletion of all data on the USB stick by entering "Y" (without quotation marks).
