Select the "Etc" key in the Services basic display and
then softkey "Original state".
When you press the softkey, the protocol window appears with the
query: "Series startup archive: Execute series start-up?" Confirm to
import the data.
Caution
All user-specific NC data (and PLC data depending on contents) will
be deleted and replaced by the data from the archive.
Function
This function supports updating of the NC system software.
For this purpose, you can create an update archive. This contains all
NC data (like a series start-up archive) including compensation data.
Software updates are carried out according to the same principle as
series start-ups. The main difference is that drive data are saved and
re-imported in ASCII format with software updates (thus allowing
these data to be altered if necessary). Another major difference to the
series start-up operation is that an update is always performed for the
same machine, i.e. it makes sense to import compensation data as
well.
For further information, please see Installation and Start-Up Guide for
840D or 810D.
