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.
