10.4Backup and Restore Operations of Driver Memory Contents

Be sure to back up the driver memory contents in case of the occurrence of problems. If a problem occurs in the driver memory contents, it may become necessary to initialize (all reset) the driver to the same settings at the time of shipment from the factory. If the driver memory contents have been backed up in such a case, the driver memory contents can easily be restored to the factory settings.

10.4.1 Backup Operation

It is recommended to back up the driver memory contents to a file using the PC utility as well as to back up the driver memory contents to the driver’s built-in flash ROM.

[Backup to a file using the PC utility]

Using the PC utility, back up the driver memory contents to an electronic file in the personal computer. Perform the following backup operation using the PC utility:

Parameters upload

Programs upload (batch)

Index equal division compensation upload (batch)

Index unequal division upload (batch)

Parts upload (batch)

I/O settings upload

[Backup to the driver’s built-in flash ROM]

Back up the driver memory contents to the on-board flash ROM by copying the driver memory contents to the driver’s built-in flash ROM in a batch operation.

Set the slide switch on the front panel as shown in the figure below, and turn ON the power. When the CRDY lamp flashes after several seconds, the backup operation is completed.

CRDY: LED that flashes when backup is properly completed.

ERR: LED that flashes when backup is not properly completed.

SW1 slide switch

Only bit 1 and bit 4 are ON; bit 2 and bit 3 are OFF.
