Safety instructions
2Safety instructions
Please observe the following safety instructions when you want to commission a controller
or system using the Industrial PC.
Read the documentation supplied with the corresponding field device thoroughly
before starting to commission the devices with the Industrial PC!
The device documentation contains safety instructions which must be
observed!
Danger!
According to our present level of knowledge it is not possible to ensure the
absolute freedom from errors of a software.
If necessary, systems with built-in controllers must be provided with additional
monitoring and protective equipment according to relevant safety regulations
(e.g. law on technical equipment, regulations for the prevention of accidents), so
that an impermissible operating status does not endanger persons or facilities.
During commissioning persons must keep a safe distance from the motor or the
machine parts driven by the motor. Otherwise there would be a risk of injury by
the moving machine parts.
Stop!
If you change parameters in the »Engineer« or the »WebConfig« while a device
is connected online, the changes will be directly accepted by the device!
A wrong parameter setting can cause unpredictable motor movements. By
unintentional direction of rotation, too high speed or jerky operation, the driven
machine parts may be damaged!

4.3System boot-up
Note!
Removing the CF card causes a failure of the system! The CF card is required for
the system start, as the operating system and all the system files required for the
boot process are stored on the CF card.
The CF card is the storage medium of the Industrial PC.
During the system start-up, the Industrial PC generates the required data in the main
memory from the data bases of the CF card. Thus the Industrial PC can only be operated
in connection with the CF card.
Configurations which have been saved previously, e.g. the entry of the IP address and
the touch calibration, are taken into account for the system start.

Technical background information
4.4Technical background information
4.4.1Data management
During a system start the data management generates the required
registry entries from the reference data saved. As the registry is not saved with mains
failure protection, the Industrial PC regenerates the registry at every system start.
The reference data base is composed of the IPC data and parameters which are saved
to the files of the data manager. The remaining data are stored within the databases
by the Industrial PC. The CF card serves as a storage medium for saved data.
4.4.2Starting process
The operating system is stored in a binary file on the CF card. During system start-up the
Industrial PC loads the system data and starts the operating system. The Industrial PC
executes the following steps during a start-up:
1. Loading the system data from the binary file into the main memory and starting the
operating system:
2. Unpacking the system programs and installing the device drivers:
– Unpacking of the basic settings from the database,
– Installation of the "backup and restore“ components,
– Installation of the device scanner,
– Installation of the data manager.
After unpacking the system files, the Industrial PC starts the system programs. The device
scanner identifies the IPC configuration and establishes the topological addressing.

6.2Addressing structure in the »Engineer«
In order to be able to address the individual components, the »Engineer« maps the
complete Industrial PC in a linear code range. Each parameter is listed in a code which can
either be changed or can only be read. The length of the code list depends on the
corresponding hardware assembly.
The basic IPC device uses the code range from 0 to 200;
The Ethernet on board interface uses the code range
from 220 to 260;
The optional panel uses the code range from 400 to 600;
The PLC (Motion/Logic) uses the code range from 600 to 800;
If optional extension modules are used, the code range is extended accordingly. Every
extension module is provided with the card and the interface parameters;
A card plugged into a slot is equipped with one or more interfaces. If a card is plugged
into a slot, the code range is extended accordingly:
Parameterisation using the L-force »Engineer«
Addressing structure in the »Engineer«
The parameters of the extension modules use a maximum of 500 parameters each. The
code number range depends on the slot:
– Slot 1 uses codes 1000 to 1499,
– Slot 2 uses codes 1500 to 1999.

6.2.1Volatile data of an »Engineer« project
During operation, the Industrial PC manages the data in the main memory. Since the main
memory is a volatile memory, all information which has not been saved permanently on
the CF card will be lost in the case of a restart.
Changes on individual codes, which are carried out online with the »Engineer« for instance
are volatile data.
Tip!
An existing online connection is indicated in the »Engineer« by an animated icon
below the project view bar:
Note!
Detailed information on the use of the »Engineer« software can be found in the
corresponding »Engineer« documentation.
The settings that you carry out in an
»Engineer« project during an online connection is established remain volatile at first.
– If changes carried out with regard to individual parameters during the online
connection was established are incorrect, the last stable status can be retrieved by
restarting the Industrial PC and the changes can be carried out again.
Manual data backup is possible for saving the current settings permanently.
40L2.5 EN - 01/2012
6.2.2Saving data permanently
Code 18 enables you to transmit commands. A command overview can be found in the
description of code 18 of the parameter lists.
Via the Persist all command you can permanently save the changes carried out with an
online connection.
– The complete changes since the last restart of the Industrial PC are persistent.
The Industrial PC stores the data saved manually by the user on the CF card. For the project
management within the Industrial PC, different device commands are available, which can
be activated via code 18.
Industrial PC | Parameter setting & configuration
Parameterisation using the L-force »Engineer«
Parameter reference
When an online connection has been established, you can use the »Engineer« to
activate a device command by selecting it from the Device commands tab in C00018.
6.3Parameter reference
The codes are numbered and marked in the documentation by a "C" in front of the code,
e.g. "C00002".
For the sake of clarity, some codes contain "subcodes" for storing parameters. This
documentation uses a slash "/" as a separator between code and subcode, e.g.
"C00118/3".
The All parameters tab shows all available codes for parameterising the Industrial PC.

7Web-based parameterisation with »WebConfig«
This chapter provides information on the parameterisation of the Industrial PC using webbased parameterisation.
7.1Parameterisation via codes
All settings by means of which you parameterise the Industrial PC are summarised in a
parameter list that is numbered serially. The individual entries of this list are called "codes".
Each code can be addressed via a number.
Codes can also contain subparameters. They are also numbered and can be addressed via
a subindex. With the code number and the subindex you can address each parameter
unambiguously.
The web-based parameterisation can be carried out LOCALLY on the Industrial PC or
REMOTELY via http by each Engineering PC transmitted which can be reached via the
network. The Engineering PC is a workplace PC including the Windows® XP operating
system.
Tip!
The web server and the »WebConfig« for the web-based parameterisation are
preinstalled on the Industrial PC.

Introduction to »IPC Backup & Restore«
9IPC backup & restore
This chapter provides information on data backup and restore on the Industrial PC under
Windows® CE.
Furthermore, the device software can be updated via the USB interface. Generally, a
complete update of the device software can be carried out. Individual software packets
cannot be updated.
Further information on the use of »IPC Backup & Restore« can be found in the
documentation of Windows® XP »IPC Backup & Restore«.
9.1Introduction to »IPC Backup & Restore«
The »IPC Backup & Restore« functionality enables...
...the generation of backups,
...the restore of selected backups,
...the installation of software updates.
The backups can be saved to the storage medium in the form of individual software
packets.
The standard storage medium for Backup & Restore is a USB stick which has been
preconfigured using the »IPC Backup & Restore« Windows® XP software.
Depending on the IPC device type, the user either has to interact or the selected function is
carried out automatically when the system is started.

Differences between archive, backup and restore
9.2Differences between archive, backup and restore
Note!
A backup written to the USB stick only contains individual system data!
For creating a complete backup you have to:
• Switch off the IPC,
• Remove the CF card,
• Insert the CF card in a CF card reader,
• Archive the data of the CF card under Windows® XP using »IPC Backup &
Restore«
Archive
An "Archive" is created under Windows® XP using »IPC Backup & Restore« from the CF card.
The term "Archive" defines the contents of a Compact Flash card.
IPC backup & restore
The Compact Flash card...
...contains the complete "memory" of the Industrial PC,
...contains all permanently saved components such as:
– the operating system,
– software,
–data.
A Compact Flash card in an Industrial PC can be compared to the hard disk of an
Engineering PC.
Backup
A "Backup" is created using »IPC Backup & Restore« under Windows® CE.
When a backup is carried out, individual components are copied from the Compact
Flash card to a USB stick.
Restore
A "Restore" of the backup data is carried out using »IPC Backup & Restore« under
Windows® CE.
"Restore" describes the process of restoring backup data from a
USB stick to the Compact Flash card.
A restore for instance is used
– to transfer individual components from one Industrial PC to another IPC,
– to restore individual data if a fault has occurred.

Function
9.3Function
The software and the operating system of the Industrial PC are stored on the CF card. With
»IPC Backup & Restore« for Windows® CE you have the possibility of saving data from the
CF card to a USB stick.
A backup created like this can be transferred from the USB stick to the CF card anytime by
restoring the data.
Furthermore a software update from a USB stick can be installed on the CF card of the
Industrial PC by means of »IPC Backup & Restore«.
The entire update process comprises several individual steps and is processed as follows.
Backup of the current system before changes have been carried out, in the following
referred to as Backup_orig.
Migration of the existing databases to the new structure, in the case of a version
change.
Installation of the SW update containing the Lenze software and the operating system.
The update process contains several successive steps; the sequence step is only carried out
if the previous step was carried out successfully. In order to be able to trace this sequencer,
log messages are written throughout the procedure.
The log messages signal the steps that have been carried out.

10.1Retain variables of the PLC
Retain variables are variables of the PLC which in the case of a voltage failure are saved on
the CF card of the Industrial PC. You can create retain variables in the »PLC Designer« by
marking the variables with the keyword RETAIN.
Variables that are important for the resumption of the production process, and the actual
value of which cannot be read out of the machine because no sensors are available, should
be persistent.
Furthermore this is only reasonable if the value does not change without the influence of
the PLC.
Examples:
Temperature: alters, requires sensors
Position: preferably via absolute encoders
Number of parts within buffer inventory: reasonable for RETAIN.

10.2Backup for systems with UPS
Note!
The UPS behaviour has to be configured via the <UPS parameter> codes, in a
compatible manner with the UPS hardware components.
By this a sufficient period of time for saving the data is provided.
If you use an industrial PC with UPS, all important data are saved automatically in the
event of a voltage failure. Furthermore, the UPS guarantees that the industrial PC is shut
down in a controlled manner by blocking the write access to the CF card when the backup
process has been completed. The backup process comprises the following steps:
Saving of the PLC's retain variables
Persisting of the logbook entries on the CF card
Saving of logbook entries, trends and alarms of the »VisiWinNET®«-application
When the data is saved, the PLC is stopped. The log service does not accept any further log
messages and deactivates itself.
76L2.5 EN - 01/2012
Industrial PC | Parameter setting & configuration
10.3Backup for systems without UPS
If you use an Industrial PC without UPS, you should ensure in advance that important data
will not get lost in the event of a voltage failure. This backup involves
the saving of the PLC's retain variables
the persisting of the IPC parameterisation and
the persisting of the log files.
Note!
Only the use of a UPS guarantees that the data is saved in the event of a voltage
failure.
10.3.1Persisting the PLC's retain variables
Data integrity in the case of a voltage failure
Backup for systems without UPS
The PLC offers the SysSaveRetains function by means of which all retain variables can be
saved from the PLC program. Furthermore you can define cycles for saving the retain variables.
Tip!
Detailed information on this function can be found in the »PLC Designer« manual.
Note!
CF cards only have a limited number of write/read cycles. It is therefore not useful to save the retain variables at very short time intervals.
10.3.2Persisting the IPC parameterisation
You can persist the IPC parameterisation manually using the »Engineer« and the webbased parameterisation.
»Engineer«
For this purpose, use command "279: Persist all data" in the »Engineer«, which you can execute via code 18.

12.1Remote Access Service (RAS) connection
In general a client computer can be connected with a remote server computer or network
via a modem or ISDN dial-up connection by RAS. The RAS client establishes a point-to-point
network connection to the RAS server by dialling up the RAS server via a telephone line. For
the connection a modem, ISDN or X.25 can be used. The RAS client establishes the
connection to the network or server computer using the point-to-point protocol (PPP).
( 82)
The RAS server installed on the IPC
– provides the RAS server functions for remote maintenance,
– accepts calls coming in via modem,
– ensures the authentication and connection to the network.
82L2.5 EN - 01/2012
12.1.1RAS client configuration
