[?]: B&R Panel Backup

[alejocmed]

Greatings,

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to make a program backup from a B&R PowerPanel.

I had used PVI Transfer like this:
-I use the Module List command to get the names of all the modules.
-I use the Upload command for all the modules
-I save the Upload files in my PC (a lot of *.BR files).

Is this enough?


I need to make a few test's transfering a different program. If I later use PVI to download of all *.BR files to the Panel, will i get the Panel as it was originally?.

Thanks.

As far as I know, B&R panels and plc's don't support uploading.

Not correct.
In most cases the alhoritm of alejocmed is enough for backup. But before I make empty project with option detect hardware. After that I go to monitor stage. And after that make the full list of all tasks .br, data etc. With PVI transfer I uplad all modules which I can and put it to project. If your project don't use the memory variables which was defined by handle I think you can use this priject as backup.

If you use intel panels with Flash you can just put flash to new pannel.

Thanks olzy1,

Just for some kind of feedback,

This works just fine for me (of course you have to be careful of getting ALL the files)

-I use the Module List command to get the names of all the modules.
-I use the Upload command for all the modules
-I save the Upload files in my PC (a lot of *.BR files).

And for the Panels that have a Compact Flash memory I used the Backup/Restore-Backup Files from Compact Flash or the Create Image from Compact Flash commands.

I also need to copy from B&R panelware p125 interface, to another the same model. But B&R studio does not support them.
Any help is welcome.

I copied the flash memory 29f010 am write-d in the other flash. It worked , but still, it's a bad solution.
Still searching for the program for p125 panelware hmi.
