Chapter 10 Using microSD Cards
Project Backup and
Restore
Project backup and restore on Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers
are mainly supported through the microSD card. Both backup and restore can be
initiated or manually triggered and configured through the Connected
Components Workbench, and the ConfigMeFirst.txt file in the microSD card.
These backup files are not the same as Connected Components Workbench
project files.
Backup and restore can only occur when the controller is in PROGRAM mode.
On controller powerup, restore automatically occurs if the Load Always or Load
on Memory Error option has been configured in Connected Components
Workbench.
Do not remove the microSD card or power down while operations such as
upload, download, delete, search, backup and restore are ongoing to
prevent data loss. A blinking SD status LED indicates that these
operations are ongoing.
Note the following:
• The SD status LED will not blink when flash upgrading the firmware
from the microSD card.
• The SD status LED does not blink continuously for the entire duration
of the restore operation.
To prevent data loss, recipe and data log function blocks must indicate
Idle status before microSD card is removed.
To learn about restore and backup using the Connected Components
Workbench, refer to the software Online Help.
For Micro800 controllers that support microSD cards, IP protection of
user project can only be achieved through the POU password protection
mechanism in Connected Components Workbench (Developer Edition)
and NOT via Controller Lock feature.
