4. Backup and Restore
4.1 What is the Backup Controller Function?
The controller configuration set by EPSON RC+ 5.0 can be stored with the “Backup
Controller” function.
The Controller settings can be restored easily using the data previously stored with
“Backup Controller” after a configuration mistake or Controller problem.
Be sure to execute “Backup Controller” before changing the Controller setup, before
maintenance, or after teaching.
For some problems, backup may not be available before maintenance has to be performed.
Be sure to backup the data after making changes, before problems occur.
“Controller Status Storage” is one of the RC180 functions. It saves the Controller setup
data the same as with “Backup Controller,” and additional data such as the Controller
status.
There data can be used as the backup data at restoring.
The methods for “Controller Status Storage” are as follows:
A : “Controller status storage to USB memory”
For details, refer to Setup & Operation 6. Memory Port.
B : “Export Controller Status function” in EPSON RC+ 5.0.
For details, refer to EPSON RC+ 5.0 User’s Guide 5.9.9 Import Command (Project
Menu).
