The function can be activated with the "Backup” button in the Properties of the OP
Component. If the button is coloured grey, the selected OP does not support the
backup function.
On clicking "Backup” the following dialog opens:
The data can be backed up, loaded and compared. In so doing, it must be borne in
mind that, of course, only that data can be transferred back to the OP, which had
previously been backed up. The following transfers can be defined:
• "Complete backup” backs up all the data of the OP.
• With the "Recipes” setting, only the recipe data of the OP is backed up.
• "Passwords” enables passwords to be backed up.
• With some OPs, the "Firmware” of the OP can be backed up (e.g. OP 17).
The specification in the "Transfer channel” determines the type of connection to the
operator panel
• "Serial” links the OP via the serial interface. The COM port and the data
transfer rate must be specified for the backup computer.
• Some OPs, primarily the PC-based OPs, have an "Ethernet” interface. This
may be used for data transfer. Select Ethernet if the OP supports this
function. The TCP/IP address of the OP must be entered for this purpose.
• Enter the "MPI” address for a link via MPI/PROFIBUS.
• The "Max. no. of backups” enables the user to store up to 99 memory
dumps of the component, see also subsection 2.4.1 and subsection 2.6.2.
