9-5-4 Data That Is Backed Up
Importing Sysmac Studio Backup Files
On the Sysmac Studio, you can import backup files that were saved with the Controller backup
function, which includes all of the Slave Terminal data, into a project.
Refer to the NJ-series CPU Unit Software User’s Manual (Cat. No. W501-E1-06 or later) to find
out what data is imported from the Sysmac Studio backup file. Refer to the Sysmac Studio Ver-
sion 1 Operation Manual (Cat. No. W504-E1-07 or later) for the import procedures.
The following data for Slave Terminal setting is backed up, restored, or compared.
This data is saved in the backup file along with the other target data in the Controller.
OK: Included, NA: Excluded
Precautions for Correct Use
To restore backup data to an EtherCAT Slave Terminal that has an identical Unit configuration,
make sure all hardware switches are set to the same settings as when the backup was made.
Backup data cannot be restored if the hardware switches are set differently from those in the
backup data. This will cause an Restore Operation Failed to Start (EtherCAT Slave) observa-
tion event to occur.
