4.2.11 Backup of parameters
January 2012
The DATA BACKUP soft key in the MORE FUNCTIONS menu enables you to
save and restore configuration data as well as to create text files with the
current machine parameters:
The following functions are available:
Save parameter files in backup
The following file name is suggested:
%OEM%\service\BKUPyear-month-day_.ZIP
Append meaningful information to this name, for example, the control
model, software version, etc.
All active *.cfg configuration files from %OEM% and %USR% are saved in
the selected backup file, e.g. BKUP2005-04-05_tnc320-sw123.ZIP; see
%OEM%\config\Configfiles.cfg:
- All files from %OEM% in the "_Oem_Config_Files_.zip" file
- All files from %USR% in the "_Usr_Config_Files_.zip" file
The update files listed in Configfiles.cfg under updateFiles:= are not saved
in the backup file.
Activate parameter files from backup
The *.cfg configuration files from %OEM% and %USR% are retrieved from
the selected backup file and activated.
Save help information in file
The following file name (to be amended) is suggested:
%OEM%\service\HELPyear-month-day_.TXT
The created text file with the selected name contains the help information
about all parameter objects and attributes. If a parameter exists more than
once, for example for several axes, only the information about the first
parameter is saved.
Save data tree in file
The following file name (to be amended) is suggested:
%OEM%\service\TREEyear-month-day_.TXT
The created text file with the selected name contains the current values of
all parameter objects and attributes.
Note
You can also use the PC software TNCbackup for backing up your data in
an easy and convenient way. TNCbackup is part of TNCremoNT and is
available free of charge from HEIDENHAIN, for example from the FileBase
on the Internet (filebase.heidenhain.de).
Note
A backup should be performed after commissioning and every time
the machine parameters have been edited.
