Diag Button; Reset Button - Siemens SIMOTION D4 5-2 Series Manual

DIAG button

Layout
The DIAG button is located behind the blanking cover on the SIMOTION D4x5-2.
Function
The diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data is backed up on the CompactFlash
card via the DIAG button.
The DIAG button function therefore corresponds to the function of switch position "D" of the
Service selection switch.
Various options are available for backing up the data:
● Option 1: Backup during operation (in STOP/STOPU/RUN operating state)
● Option 2: Backup during the module startup
With option 1, the DIAG button only has to be pressed briefly to trigger the data backup. The
DIAG button is therefore preferable to switch position "D" of the Service selection switch.
With option 2, the DIAG button has to be pressed until the boot procedure is completed. As
this can take 20-30 seconds, switch position "D" is preferable here.
Additional references
For detailed information on creating diagnostic data and backing up / restoring non-volatile
SIMOTION data, refer to the
Manual.

RESET button

Arrangement
The RESET button is located behind the blanking cover on the SIMOTION D4x5-2.
Performing a reset operation
A reset causes the entire system to be reset and requires the system to be ramped-up again.
It is similar to a "Power On Reset" except that the 24 V power supply does not have to be
switched off.
