NJ-series CPU Unit Software User’s Manual (W501)
The Sysmac Studio Controller backup functions are used to back up, restore, and compare data on the
computer. Importing and exporting Sysmac Studio backup file data are used to save and read different
types of data between the Sysmac Studio projects and backup files on the computer without using a
Controller. The Sysmac Studio variable and memory backup functions are used to back up battery-
backup present values to the computer and restore them from the computer.
A CPU Unit with unit version 1.03 or later and Sysmac Studio version 1.04 or higher are required
to use the following backup functions: SD Memory Card backups, automatic transfers from SD
Memory Cards, Sysmac Studio Controller backups, and importing and exporting Sysmac Studio
backup file data.
