Generating A Commissioning Archive; This Is How You Generate A Setup Archive On An External Data Storage Medium - Siemens SINUMERIK 828D Series Software And Hardware Service Manual

3.2

Generating a commissioning archive

Overview
A commissioning archive is used to completely backup all of the data required for the machine
function.
Note
Data must always be backed up before a machine is delivered. Only then can it be ensured
that in the case of service, the delivery condition of the machine can be restored.
In addition, it may be necessary to generate a commissioning archive before service activities
are started. This means that it can be guaranteed that the actual state of the machine can be
restored after the activities have been completed.
A commissioning archive can be generated on an external data carrier, e.g. USB flash drive
or CompactFlash card at the front panel of the control as well as on the system CompactFlash
Card.
Note
Memory size of the data storage medium that can be connected
The memory size of the data storage medium that can be connected is not restricted. It is only
important that these are FAT, FAT16 or FAT32 types. Only the first partition is used.
With its own formatting tool, Windows can only format data storage medium up to 32 GB in
FAT32. In these cases (> 32 GB), in order to achieve compatibility with SINUMERIK 828D,
other tools or operating systems should be used to format data storage medium in the FAT32
file format.
ExFAT and NTFS are not supported.
