3.1.2 Expert → System → Configuration backup display
The Configuration backup display submenu is only visible if a display module is
connected to the device.
Overview
All software configurations are initially stored in a memory module (HistoROM) in the
housing and are thus permanently connected with the device. As an additional option, the
display module contains a backup memory for the device configuration. The transmission
of configuration data between these two memory modules is controlled by the
Configuration backup display submenu. It provides the following options:
• Backup of a configuration from the device into the display module.
• Restore a device configuration.
This option can be used to restore a configuration back into the device which has
previously been saved in the display module.
• Duplicate a device configuration.
If the configuration has been saved into the display module, the module can be
connected to a different device and the configuration can be duplicated to this device.
This allows to efficiently configure a number of devices in the same way.
• Compare the configurations in the device and in the display module.
The comparison result indicates whether the device configuration has been changed
since the last backup.
