Wherever SIMATIC IPCs are used in industry, they are extended with modules and software and the BIOS settings (CMOS data) are correspondingly modified. In this environment, the SIMATIC IPC BIOS Manager can be used as:

Production tool

For the fast configuration of identical CMOS data

• Reading of CMOS data from the BIOS
• Saving the CMOS data to a file with the addition of user-specific text
• Writing the saved CMOS data to the BIOS

Service/quality tool

• Fast, easy storage of PC system data for QM requirements
• Forwarding the CMOS data to an end user
• Uncomplicated on-site restoration of CMOS
