3.1. Parameter back-up
The control has various data stored in its memory: axis positions, program parameters, I/O
settings, machine parameters.
This data can be stored on a PC or it can be restored from a PC. Examples:
• If your control somehow has lost its settings, you can restore them quickly from the PC.
• If you have a number of controls that need the same settings, you only need to program
one control and save its settings. After that, all other controls can import these settings
from the PC.
• If your control is to be upgraded with new software, you should save your settings. When
the control is upgraded, all settings are set back to default values. After the upgrade, you
can restore your settings from the PC.
The PC and the control are connected with each other through a serial link. To save or retrieve
this data, the following set-up is used:
RS232
Personal Computer
Windows 2000/XP
