8-3-3 Verifying Backup Operations with
Indicators
*1 When the backup operation is completed normally, power to the Memory Card will go OFF when the MCPWR indicator
goes OFF. If the Memory Card will be used again, press the Memory Card Power Switch to supply power and execute the
desired operation.
*2 The backup files for Units and Boards are also compared.
Restoring data from
the Memory Card to
the CPU Unit
The data was not restored due to one of the following
causes.
• Program in Memory Card exceeds CPU Unit capacity
• Required backup files do not exist in Memory Card.
• Program can't be written because it is write-protected
(Pin 1 of the DIP switch is ON.)
• The EM file was not complete, i.e., a portion was missing.
• There are fewer CPU Unit EM banks than backup EM
files.
The I/O tables are not correct (e.g., the same unit number
was set twice).
• A Unit was added to the configuration since the data was
backed up.
• The unit number settings for Special I/O Units or CPU
Bus Units are not correct.
A Unit was added to the configuration since the data was
backed up.
Comparing data
between the CPU Unit
and the Memory Card
The following comparison errors can occur:
• Memory error in CPU Unit
*2
• Incorrect I/O tables (e.g., the same unit number set twice)
• Comparison results (of backup files on Memory Card and
data in PLC) do not match.
• Required backup files do not exist in Memory Card.
*2
• I/O bus error
