Saving a Parameter Set to a PC

The following steps outline the procedure for saving parameter sets to a PC.
1. Ensure that the ACS410 software is open, and the PC is connected to the LME7 at the
service or OEM level. See previous sections if necessary.
2. The LME7 must have a burner ID in order to perform a parameter backup. The burner ID is
set via parameter 113 through the ACS410 software. To set the burner ID, click on the
"Parameters" tab. Click the "+" button next to the "100:General" set of parameters to expand
it. Click on parameter 113 and then press the ">" button to move parameter 113 to the right
side of the window. Once that is done, click on the "+" button in the upper-right corner of the
window and a box will appear called "Change parameter value". Delete the existing value and
type in any number from one to eight digits in length for the burner ID. Press "OK". Click the
"Save" button in the lower-right corner and a box will appear called "Changed parameters".
Click "OK" for the parameter change to take effect.
3. Click on the "Backup / Restore" tab. Click on "Backup" in the lower-right corner.
4. A box will appear called "Backup description". The default file name is the current date and
time. It is highly recommended to change the file name to something more job-specific.
Additionally, information can be added for description, device number, burner type, and burner
serial number. Once all of the relevant information has been entered, click "OK".
5. After about a minute, a box should appear stating that the backup was successful and the
backup file should now be listed on the screen. The default location for storing parameter sets
is C:\Program Files (x86)\Siemens\ACS410\bkp. Notice that two files are created in this folder:
one with a .bkp file extension and one with a .unl file extension. Both files are necessary in
order to view the parameter set or restore it to an LME7.
Note: The parameter set is stored in machine language, so it is not useful as a startup report.
See the following section called "Creating an LME7 Startup Report" for the procedure for
creating and printing a comprehensive startup report.
