3.2.1 Important STARTER functions

Description

STARTER supports the following tools for managing the project:

● Copy RAM to ROM

● Download to target device

● Load to PG/PC

● Restoring the factory settings

● Commissioning wizard

● Displaying toolbars

Copy RAM to ROM

You can use this function to save volatile Control Unit data to the non-volatile memory. This

ensures that the data is still available after the 24 V Control Unit supply has been switched

off.

This function can be activated as follows:

● Tools → Setting → Download → Activate "Copy RAM to ROM"

This means that every time data is loaded to the target system by choosing "Load project

to target system", the data is stored in the non-volatile memory.

● Right-click Drive unit → Target device → Copy RAM to ROM

● Drive unit grayed out → "Copy RAM to ROM" button

NOTICE

You may only switch off the power supply to the Control Unit after saving has finished;

i.e. after saving has started, wait until it has finished and parameter p0977 has the value

0 once more.

Download to target device

You can use this function to load the current STARTER project to the Control Unit. First of

all, a consistency check is performed on the project, with messages triggered if any

inconsistencies are detected. You will need to rectify any inconsistencies before performing

a download. If no inconsistencies are detected, the data is loaded to the work memory of the

Control Unit. A reset is then triggered.

This function can be activated as follows:

● Right-click Drive unit → Target device → Download to target device

● Drive unit grayed out → Download to target device button

● Online/offline comparison screen → Download to target device button

● Project to all drive units simultaneously:

Load project to target system button, Project → Download to target device menu
