Export/Import
The Export/Import Tab supports the user to make one of the following operations: Export, Import, and Automated backup.
The Export window supports the user to export controller configurations, settings, results, and events. In addition, it is possible to export tool logs, which can be shared with Atlas Copco Service personnel to troubleshoot problems with the tool(s).
The Import window supports the user to import controller configurations and settings.
It is only possible to have one active Export or Import at the time. Any attempt to start a new Export/Import while there is an ongoing Export/Import is rejected.
The Automated backup window supports the user to generate automatically a backup file.
It is possible to export/import data through one of the following devices:
USB flash drive (formatted and with a partition to work for Linux: possible formats are, for example, FAT or NTFS)
Web GUI
ToolsTalk 2
During the Export/Import process a progress bar informs the user that an export/import is ongoing. The time to perform an export/import is depending on the numbers of results, events, and log files.
Export/Import Between Controllers
The controller can export all its current configurations and import to another supported controller.
It is only possible to import a configuration if the software on the target controller is the same or newer as the one used when creating the export.
When importing between system types, the controller attempts to switch the fieldbus type to the one supported by the system. The controller will not change the frame size, and if an import with an unsupported frame size is performed i.e, from Power Focus 6000 Synchronized Tightening to PF6 Flex—the fieldbus will not be started, and a warning event will be shown requesting the user to update the fieldbus frame size to a supported size.
For hardware layout, the system will not replace the current system layout with the imported one if the import is from a different system type.
Export from Power Focus 6000 can be imported to:
Power Focus 8
Power Focus 6000
ToolsControl
Power Focus XC
A controller cannot import a file exported from a different type of IAM module. This is applicable also when using ToolsTalk 2.
Export from Power Focus 6 Synchronized Tightening can be imported to:
Power Focus 6 Flex
Power Focus 8, Power Focus S
Power Focus 6000 Synchronized Tightening
Power Focus 8 Synchronized Tightening
A controller cannot import a file exported from a different type of IAM module. This is applicable also when using ToolsTalk 2.
