is updated at the same time.
• Backup data check function:
Correspondence between the center files and backup data is checked every certain period of time.
• Backup data update process:
When an error occurs in backup data, the following processing methods can be selected according to
the program option setting.
(1) Automatic data copy
When the version of the center file stored in the master terminal (M) is different from that stored
in the backup master terminal (BM) , registration jobs are automatically prohibited, the backup
data is properly exchanged.
While updating the backup data, each inquiry from the terminals may result in a “MASTER IS
BUSY” error.
(2) Manual data copy
When the version of the center file stored in the master terminal (M) is different from that of data
stored in the backup master terminal (BM) , the master terminal (M) gives a short beep at the
timing of issuing the long receipt to warn that the data is not backed up properly.
The operator should update the backup data manually.
