Saving and restoring by reading from and writing to the buffer memory
Use Save data type setting, CH1 Factory default setting offset value (L) to CH16 User range setting gain value (H), and 'User
range write request' (YA) to read the offset/gain values from the source A/D converter module. Use the buffer memory again
to write the values to the destination A/D converter module.
The following describes the procedure for using the buffer memory.
■To restore offset/gain values onto a new replaced module:
When replacing modules, prevent the saved offset/gain setting data from being deleted, by one of the
following methods before powering off the module.
• Use latch settings for the internal device of the destination module.
• Save the data onto an SD memory card. (To write data: use the SP.FWRITE instruction. To read data: use
the SP.FREAD instruction.)
• Store the saved data.
■To apply the offset/gain values set in one module to the other modules in the same system:
When restoring offset/
gain values onto the
source A/D converter
module
1. Set Save data type setting.
2. Turn on and off 'Operating condition setting request' (Y9).
3. Save the stored values of Save data type setting and CH1 Factory default setting offset value (L) to
CH16 User range setting gain value (H).
When the power of
the module is off
4. Replace the A/D converter module.
When restoring offset/
gain values onto the
destination A/D
converter module
5. Write the data saved in Save data type setting and CH1 Factory default setting offset value (L) to
CH16 User range setting gain value (H).
6. Turn on 'User range write request' (YA).
7. Check that 'Offset/gain setting mode status flag' (XA) is on.
8. Turn off 'User range write request (YA)'.
9. Check whether the destination A/D converter module operates with the offset/gain values that are
restored.
When restoring offset/
gain values onto the
source A/D converter
module
1. Set Save data type setting.
2. Turn on and off 'Operating condition setting request' (Y9).
3. Save the stored values of Save data type setting and CH1 Factory default setting offset value (L) to
CH16 User range setting gain value (H).
When restoring offset/
gain values onto the
destination A/D
converter module
4. Write the data saved in Save data type setting and CH1 Factory default setting offset value (L) to
CH16 User range setting gain value (H).
5. Turn on 'User range write request' (YA).
6. Check that 'Offset/gain setting mode status flag' (XA) is on.
7. Turn off 'User range write request (YA)'.
8. Check whether the destination A/D converter module operates with the offset/gain values that are
restored.
