the Controller
The settings data (system data, scene data, and scene 
group data) is saved to this area when you click the [Data 
save] button. Data is held even after the power supply is 
turned OFF. When you restart the Controller, the Controller 
loads and enables the settings data in the flash memory.

logging images using the logging function. This memory is a 
ring memory. Images will be overwritten starting with the old-
est image if the maximum number of save images is 
exceeded.

RAM disk in the 
Controller
• You can use this memory as a temporary file save destina-
tion.
• The data is cleared when you turn OFF the power supply 
to the Controller. As this is memory inside the Controller, 
files can be saved and read faster than when using exter-
nal storage. 
• The RAMDisk memory is as follows.
• FH series/FZ5-800/1100/1200 series: 256 MB
• FZ5-L series/FZ5-600 series: 40 MB
• The RAMDisk data can be sent to or received from exter-
nal devices using FTP.

tion, to copy setting data to another Controller, and to load 
data to a computer.
