If you send an archive (*.arc), this is sent directly without being additionally zipped. If you
have selected an archive (*.arc) together with an additional file (e.g. directory), then these
are zipped into a new archive and are then sent.
Reading-in archives
Only archives can be read-in via the V24 interface. These are transferred and then
subsequently unzipped.
Note
Series commissioning archive
If you read-in a series commissioning archive via the V24 interface, then this is immediately
activated.
Externally processing the punched tape format
If you wish to externally process an archive, then generate this in the punch tape format.
Using the SinuCom commissioning and Servicetool SinuCom ARC, you can process the
archive in the binary format and in the series commissioning archive.
