Save The Device Configuration - ABB RMC-100 User Manual

Figure 8-4: Locate laptop file (collected data)
IMPORTANT NOTE: PCCU creates a new laptop file the first time it collects data from a device.
PCCU overwrites the data on the existing laptop file in subsequent collections from the same
device. If you wish to preserve the laptop file for each collection, move and store the file in a safe
location as soon as you complete a collection.
8.1.2

Save the device configuration

The following procedures are required to save the configuration of the Totalflow device for backup
purposes. The device stores a running (warm) and a startup (cold) configuration that contain
configuration files for all enabled and active applications. Any configuration performed after the device
starts for the first time continues to run in the running configuration. The startup configuration does
not automatically update to reflect those configuration changes.
To perform a backup of the most up-to-date configuration, you must update the startup configuration
first, and then save it on a laptop or PC.
You can use backup configuration files to restore service in the event of equipment failure, part
replacement, or to replicate the configuration in other devices.
IMPORTANT NOTE: tfData and tfCold, warm and cold, are terms used to refer to the running and
startup configuration respectively.
8.1.2.1 Update the startup (cold) configuration
This procedure saves the running (warm) configuration to the startup (cold) configuration. With this
procedure both the startup and the running configuration reflect the most current configuration. A
cold restart event with the most-up-to-date configuration resumes device operation without the need
to reconfigure the device. The update is a manually triggered action.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This procedure only updates the startup configuration on the controller. It
does not create a configuration package in a separate location from the controller.
Perform this procedure whenever there are configuration changes so that the startup configuration
always contains the most up-to-date configuration.
