Function
The configuration data of a machine (HMI version, NCU version, axis
configuration, drive configuration, bus parameters, active bus nodes)
can be written into a file and subsequently read out or printed.
Configuration data is output in 2 stages:
1. Creation of the configuration data file CONFIGURATION_DATA in
the "Diagnostics" operating area by pressing the "Config. data"
softkey.
2. Read-out of the CONFIGURATION_DATA file in the "Services"
operating area. The configuration file CONFIGURATION_DATA is
created in the "Services" operating area for this purpose.
Sequence of operations
Select the menu "Service displays".
The horizontal softkey bar changes.
Press the "Config. data" softkey.
The system gathers the configuration data, writes it into the file
CFGDAT.TXT and displays it.
The path and name of the file are output in the info line.
Additional information
The configuration data can be read out in the "Services operating
area.
Function
Errors that occur during communication between the HMI and
NCK/PLC are registered in a communication error log.
