Data backup/Further measures

Recommendation: Additionally back up settings and configurations on a storage medium
outside the SIMATIC Drive Controller, e.g. on a second memory card, PG/PC, hard disk or
network drive.
Without a backup, your settings and configurations will be lost in the event of a device
defect.
4.10.4.4

Protecting backup files in the Windows file system

If you generate backup files of charts or projects with Windows tools, you must likewise use
Windows tools to protect these files from unauthorized access with secure passwords. The
Startdrive configuration itself is integrity-protected.
4.10.5

Communication services and used port numbers

SINAMICS Integrated has no dedicated Ethernet interfaces.
With respect to communication services, take into account that the SINAMICS Startdrive
communication uses S7 connections and port 102. In so doing, communication is forwarded
internally from the CPU interface to SINAMICS Integrated.
