Collection of EVP

Comments:

Ex works, the Extended Value Package is bound irreversibly to one specific machine.
It can not be transferred to another machine.
Keep the installation file for machines with OKC 3 or OKC 5 control generation in order to be able to re-install the EVP if necessary.
No more necessary from OKC6 / EKC on.
Before changing the IPC, backup the state of the machine configuration of the machine that was the basis of the EVP generation for this machine.
The machine will be re-configured when installing the EVP.
With it the pattern memory will be deleted as well.
Therefore, exit the production before the installation.
