Data backup and series commissioning

External data backup
After commissioning, your settings are saved in the inverter so that they are protected
against power failure.
Further, we recommend that you externally save the parameter settings so that in the case
of a defect, you can simply replace the Power Module or Control Unit (see also Steps for
replacing the inverter (Page 248)).
You have three different options for externally backing up data (upload):
1. Memory card
2. PC/PG with STARTER
3. Operator Panel
Series commissioning
Series commissioning means the commissioning of several identical drives in the following
steps:
1. Commission the first inverter.
2. Upload the parameters of the first inverter to an external memory.
3. Download the parameters from the external memory to a second or additional inverter.
For further information, refer to the following sections.

Note
The control unit to which the parameters are transferred must be of the same type and
have the same or a higher firmware version as the source control unit (the same 'type'
means the same MLFB).
