Hi!
I am completly fresh to the B&R system and have a question for you all.
I am replacing a customers PP400 4PP420.0573-K01 with an exact copy, but i have no backups other than the panel they already have.
So in short, i need to take data from one panel and transfer it to a new one of the same kind.
From what i have gathered there is a CF-Card that has some information on it. Is it as easy as move the CF-card from one unit to another?
Thank you in advance!
Hello and welcome,
the CF card contains the project (the “code”) of the PLC. It is enough to operate the PP400
Nevertheless the PP400 also has internal SRAM where retain data could be stored (axis positions, production data,…)
In other words the PP400 will work if you plug the CF card from the old device but it could be that you will lose retain data and/or have to set up machine data if this was stored in the RAM of the PP400
If you are the programmer or you know the names of retain variables you could also upload the values of this retain variables (using RUC for example) and download this values to your new PP400
best regards !
