Program Memory
The program memory consists of two components, the PRIMARY (active) configuration
and the BACKUP (editable) configuration. The primary configuration is the active
(running) configuration that determines the current function of the FACP. The backup
configuration is the configuration that is edited to make changes or additions to the
existing active panel program. This allows the program to be edited while the FACP
operates normally.
Before the backup configuration is activated, it first must be validated to make sure that
the configuration follows the installation rules. The validation process ensures no values
or operating parameters are out of limits.
When the edited configuration is activated, all changes are implemented at once by
swapping the primary and backup configurations. The backup configuration becomes
the primary (running) configuration and the configuration that was running becomes the
backup configuration.
NOTE: At this point it is advisable to copy the primary configuration to the backup so
that both configurations are identical. There is a copy feature that allows the operato
r to
copy the primary configuration to the backup.
