Safety Information; Backup; Fatal Errors; Handling - ABB SPA OPC Server User Manual

Section 1 Introduction

1.2 Safety information

The purpose of safety information is to provide information on prevention of hazards.

1.3 Backup

All the project specific data is stored into the configuration file opcs_net.ini. Therefore it
is usually enough to create a backup only for this file. Reinstalling the SPA OPC Server
software will restore the rest of the required files.
There are some commercial software packages available for creating a complete image
backup for the system, but none of these is delivered with the SPA OPC Server software.
The backup image will then contain both the system and application specific files.

1.4 Fatal errors

A fatal error is an error that causes a breakdown or a locked situation in the program.

1.4.1 Handling

In case of a fatal error:
1. Write down the possible SPA OPC Server error messages.
2. If necessary, shut down the SPA OPC Server program in the Windows
Manager.
3. The data kept in the main memory at the moment of a fatal error is placed in the
drwtsn32.log file. It is placed in a system folder, for example Winnt. Analyze and
copy the data in this file.
Report the program breakdown together with the possible error messages and the
information in the drwtsn32.log file to the SPA OPC Server supplier.
