Note
Copying user configurations is only possible in the current version of ePS Net-
work Services if the device classes (SINUMERIK, S7, IPC) for the source and
target machine are identical.
Copying user configurations with an axis reference is only possible in the current
version of ePS Network Services if the axis indices, axis names and measuring
system evaluation (translational or rotational) for the source and target machine
are identical.
In the case of cross-organizational copying, addresses are extended in the target
machine if this is required by the copied user configurations. This is shown in the
log.
Notice
User configurations that are present on the target machine are overwritten by
copying a configuration with the same name onto it.
User configurations can called as configuration of other user configurations. ePS
Network Services automatically selects these for copying since, without these,
the user configuration to be copied would not be functional (unless this user con-
figuration was already available on the target machine).
Example: The "OILING" control monitor maintenance job has the action to output
the "OILING" maintenance schedule. If the "OILING" maintenance schedule is
not present on the target machine, it must be copied onto it so that the control
monitor is able to function correctly. If the "OILING" maintenance schedule is
present on the target machine, then it can be copied overwriting (i.e. thus over-
writing the schedule), but does not have to be, as the intention may be to use the
existing one with the "OILING" maintenance job control monitor.
