2.2.1 Restoring a Memory Card
This restore is necessary if the memory card is no longer bootable on an AS 488/TM (if it
has been deleted with the SIMATIC Manager for example).
The procedure corresponds to an upgrade (see chapter 2.2).
Special features:
Attempting to copy the old files from the memory card to the programming device, with
a faulty (empty) memory card appears the error message:
Not ready when reading from drive E:
Ignore, retry, error ?
This message has to be acknowledged with 'i'. After that the MC will be formatted.
Afterwards some INI files have to be copied from the directory C:\UPGRADE\INI to the
memory card and modified specifically for the user:
AS_KOM.INI settings for the system bus
DP1.INI
parameters for the 1st DP thread
DP2.INI parameters for the 2nd DP thread
L2AMPRO.INI parameters for the system bus PROFIBUS-TM
STARTER.INI starting parameters (poss. enter add-ons)
Using a CP5412 for the system bus PROFIBUS-TM, you have to copy the files
DOS_CONF.DAT and FW5412 from the directory C:\UPGRADE\CP5412 to the memory
card instead of the file L2AMPRO.INI.
If the display of the AS 488/TM serial number (48xxxx) in BT,STAT:@; is faulty, please
contact the TELEPERM M hotline (Tel. +49 721 595 4400)!
