Gildemeister CT40 PLC, Eltropilot EPL2, Data backup/reload

Hello to all,
Could anybody explain the way to backup - recive PLC-programm and other data from control Eltropilot EPL2 on Gildemeister CT40 and reloading it?
I afraid that data could lost in my mashine. Battery was not changed long time (maybe 4-5 years) on mainboard.
And second quastion: What is the safety method to change battery on mainboard?

regards
Artur

Hi,
Thanks for update,
No I have not any devices to eprom programming, So I feel that Eltropilot need any special devices? It is to some complicated for me.
I thought that is possible by serial port (RS232) in menu DAIAGNOSE, similarly that I do it with Sinumerik 810T GA3, I Know that oldest controls need that devices to backup/reload.
At the moment the machine is working yet.

Regards
Artur

Hello guys!

I have Gildemeister GAC100 machine withe ElektroPilot controll. Can anyone explain me how to input program into machine?

I can do output program from machine to my laptop, with WINPCIN. I set interface with next parameters: COM1, 1200, 7, 1, XON/XOFF. And it works! But when I want to send program from PC to machine, nothing is inside the machine. I do SEND DATA in WINPCIN, choose program, for example 114 and do SEND. On machine I've allready do INPUT SINGLE PROGRAM and type 114 and press ENTER. On display, it shows me a message %EXTERNAL DATA INPUT:
When the sending is over on my PC, on machine side this message disappear. I check PROGRAM LISTING and there is no 114 program.

I do the same procedure with INPUT SINGLE BLOCK instead of INPUT SINGLE PROGRAM and still no effect... Is there any parameter to be set before sending the data from PC?

I found in Programming manual that I need Reader or Elektro-Pilot console to send and receive data, but I don't understand how I can receive data without this equipement...

Thanks in advance,

Samir

Can someone tell me where is the battery located exactly? I have a CTX 400 V2, and I'm unable to locate it!
