Data deleted on memory reset
The following data are deleted during a memory reset:
● User data (units, configuration data, parameter settings, task configuration)
● Technology packages
● Retain TO (absolute encoder adjustment)
● Retain variables
Data retained during memory reset
The following data are retained during a memory reset:
● TCP/IP and DP parameters
● Diagnostic buffer
● Data that was saved with the _savePersistentMemoryData, _saveUnitDataSet or
● Licenses
The technology packages and user data (configuration data, programs, parameter
assignments) you previously backed up to a CF card by means of the "Copy RAM to ROM"
command are transferred to the "non-volatile data" area of the SIMOTION 410 during the next
startup. Thus, an existing configuration on the CF card is loaded to the SIMOTION device
following the memory reset.
Memory reset by means of SIMOTION SCOUT

Retain variables are variables in the interface or implementation section of a UNIT that are
declared with VAR_GLOBAL RETAIN, or global device variables with the RETAIN attribute.
Note
Absolute encoder data are deleted during a memory reset and must therefore be
readjusted after the memory reset.

If backup files (PMEMORY.XML/PMEMORY.BAK) have been created with
_savePersistentMemoryData, the data in these files will be backed up again to the non-
volatile SIMOTION data after the memory reset. Users can therefore force the restoration
of non-volatile SIMOTION data by means of memory reset. This also includes the absolute
encoder position.
