Procedure for backing up during operation

Procedure
The advantage of backing up diagnostics data and non-volatile SIMOTION data during
operation is that enhanced diagnostic information via HTML pages and TO alarm information
is available.
Data is backed up:
● With IT DIAG by selecting "Diagnostics > Diagnostics files"; see Section "Backing up
● Via the DIAG button (see the description below).
● Via the Service selector switch (see the description below).
DIAG button (preferred solution)
To back up diagnostics data and non-volatile SIMOTION data via the DIAG button, proceed
as follows:
1. Press the DIAG button.
2. The diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data is backed up to the CompactFlash
3. Once the backup is complete, switch the D4x5-2 off.
4. Remove the CompactFlash card.
