9.2 Diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data9.2.1 OverviewWith simple operation actions (e.g. by setting the switch position) and without the need for theSCOUT engineering system, you can:● Back up diagnostic data, including non-volatile SIMOTION data (retain data) to theCompactFlash card; for information, see Section Backing up diagnostics data and non-volatile SIMOTION data (Page 396).● Back up HTML pages (including the most up-to-date content) to the CompactFlash cardfor diagnostic purposes; for information, see Section Diagnostics via HTML pages(Page 403).● Restore backed-up non-volatile SIMOTION data (retain data); for information, see SectionDeleting/restoring non-volatile SIMOTION data (Page 404).9.2.2 Backup of diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data9.2.2.1 Diagnostic dataFollowing a fault on a SIMOTION device, diagnostic data (e.g. diagnostic buffer content, up-to-date content of HTML pages, etc.) can provide important information on the cause of thefault. For this purpose, data can be backed up to the CF card via a "simple operator action"(e.g. via service selector switch or DIAG button on the D4x5‑2).You then have the following options for the diagnostic data:● Fetching them from the CF card using a card reader● You can load it with the SIMOTION IT web server or by FTPYou can also use them for diagnostic purposes or provide Technical Support with them forevaluation purposes.Diagnostics9.2 Diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION dataSIMOTION D4x5-2396 Commissioning and Hardware Installation Manual, 03/2018, A5E33441636B
