11-2 Backing Up Data to the Memory Cassette
This section describes the conditions and procedures for backup.
Conditions
The following conditions must be satisfied to perform backup.
• The configuration data of the G9SP-series Controller must be locked.
To ensure safety after restoring, it is necessary to use configuration
data for which safety validation testing (i.e., user testing) has been
completed.
Procedure
1,2,3... 1. Turn OFF the power supply to the G9SP-series Controller, and then insert
the Memory Cassette.
2. Turn ON DIP switch pin 4 on the front of the G9SP-series Controller, and
then turn ON the power supply to the G9SP-series Controller.
3. The G9SP-series Controller will start using the following indicators.
4. In this status, press the Push Switch on the front of the G9SP-series Con-
troller for at least 1 s to start backup. During backup, the Safety Input ter-
minal indicators will sequentially light from right to left in yellow.
5. The following indicators will light when backup has been completed. At this
point, the ID of the backup configuration will be sequentially lit on the Safe-
ty I/O terminal indicators. This ID is called the configuration ID and consists
of a four-digit decimal number to identify the configuration data. For details,
refer to 11-4 Checking Configuration Data Using Indicators.
This completes the backup procedure. To return to the normal operating
mode, turn OFF DIP switch pin 4, and then cycle the power supply to the
G9SP-series Controller.
