Data functions

Once a card reader has been connected and successfully installed, the data on the
CompactFlash card can be accessed in the same way as data stored on other PC storage
media (e.g. access to hard disk, memory stick, etc.). To access its data, the CompactFlash
card must first be removed from the CU320 and inserted in the card reader connected to the
PC.
The actual procedure for accessing the CompactFlash card data depends on the operating
system used.
CAUTION
The data stored on the CompactFlash card must not be changed manually. Only the
STARTER program can modify the data.
If you do not do this, all the data on the CompactFlash card will be lost (parameters,
software license, etc.).
8.13.4.3

Saving the CompactFlash card parameter settings

Following commissioning, it is advisable to back up the data on the CompactFlash card to an
external storage medium (hard disk, data carrier, etc.).
To do this, the CompactFlash card is read via a card reader connected to a PC. Ensure that
all the files and directories are stored in the same form as on the CompactFlash card.
If necessary, the device status following commissioning of the drive can be restored by
uploading the saved data to the CompactFlash card.
CAUTION
The CompactFlash card should only be removed and inserted when the CU320 is switched
off.
If you do not do this, all the data on the CompactFlash card will be lost (parameters,
software license, etc.).
If you remove it while the system is switched on, alarm A01100 ("CompactFlash card
removed") is output.
