2.3.4 Differences compared to WinAC RTX
Introduction
The PC-based WinLC RTX controller which is installed on the Embedded Controller
corresponds with the WinLC RTX controller that is executed on standard PCs. The software
is identical. However, compared to WinAC RTX on other platforms, there are certain
differences in the usage of EC31-RTX / EC31-HMI/RTX with WinAC RTX or of the
EC31-RTX F with WinAC RTX F:
● Layout and appearance of the panel
● Operation
● Preconfigured system
Differences of WinAC RTX in the Embedded Controller compared to WinAC RTX on a
PC-based platform
● Centralized I/Os can be connected to EC31-RTX / EC31-RTX F / EC31-HMI/RTX.
● The Embedded Controller contains a default configuration for all components.
● Configuration data can be archived in WLD files for reuse and transfer. The WLD files for
configurations on an Embedded Controller are not compatible with WLD files that are
configured for other platforms.

7.5.1 Safety mechanisms for data carriers
CAUTION
Protection of the Embedded Controller
Systems which rely on flash media as data carrier require special protection due to the
limited number of rewrite cycles.
Use the protective mechanisms, such as the write filter, to extend the operating life of the
flash memory and to avoid a possible failure of the Embedded Controller.
Write filters
There are two ways of setting write filters:
● By means of the EWFMGR.EXE program, as described in the following section.
● By means of the System Tool
XPembedded
on the Embedded Controller.
Call Start > Programmes > SIMATIC > S7-mEC > EC31 > EWF-Tool.

Special features of the EWF application
● If the EWF is active all changes made on drive C are lost after power failure. Use an UPS
to prevent data losses after power failure.
● You can backup the files in the EWF RAM overlay to flash memory or to the hard disk
before you shut down the device. To do so, enter the following command in the command
prompt:
ewfmgr c: -commit
Restart the device
Or
ewfmgr c: -commitanddisable
Restart the device
ewfmgr c: -enable
Restart the device
NOTICE
Data loss
Your data is lost if EWF is active and you discard a restart after having set the
-commitanddisable or -commit option!
Note
Disabling automatic daylight saving changes
At systems without central time management and with activated EWF, the time is advanced
or set back by one hour in the daylight saving time or standard time period each time the
system performs a cold or warm restart, due to the system-specific function for automatic
daylight saving changes.
Reason for this behavior: Windows XP Embedded sets a flag in a registry entry that
indicates completion of the conversion to daylight saving time. Since this file is also
protected against modification by the EWF, the marker is lost during the boot sequence and
the adjustment is made again.
We therefore recommend that you deactivate the automatic adjustment and change the
clock manually.
Proceed as follows:
1. Deactivate the EWF (ewfmgr c: -commitanddisable) and reboot the system.
2. Deactivate automatic adjustment in the Control Panel.
Select Start > Control Panel > Date and Time > "Time Zone" tab and clear the check
mark at "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes".
3. Enable EWF again (ewfmgr c: -enable) and reboot the system.

A.3 Tips and Tricks
Software
Use only the software approved for Windows XP Embedded SP2 on the
Embedded Controller.
Connecting I/O devices
Note
Always install the latest software version for connected I/O devices such as CD drives or
monitors connected (included with the I/O devices, or available on the Website of the
manufacturer).
Windows XP setup CD requested
The drivers for many devices have already been installed. If a driver is not found for
operation of a device and the installation program requests you to insert the setup CD of
Windows XP Embedded, navigate to the following path:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers
Most installation programs will then continue their setup. Contact the device manufacturer if
this does not solve the problem.
