Siemens SINUMERIK 828D Commissioning Manual page 341

For the SINUMERIK 828D, the machine manufacturer's customized data, to which no
individual change has been made, may be archived separately. If this archive is transferred
to the affected machine, it is ensured that the individual customized data and the end user
data are retained. So the machine manufacturer's update process is simplified considerably.
Advantages
The advantage of the "Easy Archive" is that archive creation occurs directly at the
SINUMERIK 828D user interface. So no separate PC is needed for the archive.
By separating the system data from the customized and user data, the SINUMERIK 828D
system updates can be completely carried out by the OEMs, without changes to the
customized data. A system update can be carried out by the end user themselves in a short
time.
