9   Saving/Loading Data
9 - 4
Vision System FH/FHV/FZ5 Series User’s Manual (Z365)
The following table shows the data that is retained or cleared and the data that is saved when the 
power supply is turned OFF.
 
During data transfer, do not turn OFF the power supply.
• When a message indicating that processing such as saving or loading is in progress is dis-
played, do not restart the Controller or turn OFF the power supply. Data will be corrupted and 
the system will not work properly at the next startup.
• Do not remove external storage devices while data is being saved or loaded. The operation 
of the Controller may corrupt the data or external storage.
• Do not change the file name extension of saved files. If you change the extension, the file 
cannot be loaded as setting data. In addition, if setting data in which the extension was 
changed is loaded, the system may not work properly later.
• Depending on the settings, saving may fail due to insufficient external storage space. If sav-
ing fails and the error message “Please check” appears, check to see if there is unnecessary 
data in the external storage and save the data after the unnecessary data has been deleted.
• The file system supported by USB memory or SD memory card differ by the Sensor Control-
ler.
Format USB memory or SD memory card according to the Sensor Controller series.
