5-6 Other Functions
This section describes the other DB Connection functions related to the backup/restore function
of the NJ/NX-series Controllers and verification of operation authority from Sysmac Studio.
5-6-1 Backup/Restore Function in the DB Connection Service
The backup function is used to back up the setting data in an NJ/NX-series Controller into an SD
Memory Card or a computer. And the restore function is used to restore the data from an SD
Memory Card or a computer to the Controller.
This section describes the Controller’s backup/restore function related to the DB Connection
Service.
The following table shows whether each data can be backed up and restored by the function.
Data Backup / Restore
* The Restore operation cannot be performed in the following cases.
When any of the following is applicable, the DB Connection settings cannot be restored. The
Restore Operation Failed to Start event is registered into the event log when the Restore
operation is executed.
ï‚– You attempt to restore the data from a CPU Unit other than NX701-1@20 to an
NX701-1@20 CPU Unit.
ï‚– You attempt to restore the data from an NX701-1@20 CPU Unit to a CPU Unit other than
NX701-1@20.
ï‚– You attempt to restore the data from a CPU Unit other than NJ501-1@20 to an
NJ501-1@20 CPU Unit.
ï‚– You attempt to restore the data from an NJ501-1@20 CPU Unit to a CPU Unit other than
NJ501-1@20.
ï‚– You attempt to restore the data from a CPU Unit other than NJ501-4320 to an NJ501-4320
CPU Unit.
ï‚– You attempt to restore the data from an NJ501-4320 CPU Unit to a CPU Unit other than
NJ501-4320.
ï‚– You attempt to restore the data from a CPU Unit other than NJ101-1020 to an NJ101-1020
CPU Unit.
ï‚– You attempt to restore the data from an NJ101-1020 CPU Unit to a CPU Unit other than
NJ101-1020.
ï‚– You attempt to restore the data from a CPU Unit other than NJ101-9020 to an NJ101-9020
CPU Unit.
ï‚– You attempt to restore the data from an NJ101-9020 CPU Unit to a CPU Unit other than
NJ101-9020.
ï‚– The Unit version of the restore-destination CPU Unit is earlier than the Unit version of the
backup-source CPU Unit.
The restore operation can be performed between the NX701-1@20 CPU Units even if the
model number (i.e., the number of axes) is different.
Also, the restore operation can be performed between the NJ501-1@20 CPU Units even if
the model number (i.e., the number of axes) is different.
