Function
The diagnostic data and non-volatile SIMOTION data is backed up on the CompactFlash card via
the DIAG button. The DIAG button function therefore corresponds to the function of switch
position "D" of the Service selection switch.
The following options are available to backup the diagnostic data and the non-volatile SIMOTION
data:
• Backup during operation (in STOP/STOPU/RUN operating state)
A short pressing of the DIAG button suffices to initiate the backup of the data. The DIAG
button is therefore preferable to switch position "D" of the Service selection switch.
• Backup during the module startup
The DIAG button must be kept pressed until the boot process has completed. Since this can
take between 20 and 30 seconds, the switch position "D" of the Service selector switch is
preferable in this case.
