Functions Added in the
“-V1” Upgrade
The CS1W-SCB21-V1 and CS1W-SCB41-V1 Serial Communications Boards
and CS1W-SCU21-V1 Serial Communications Unit* were upgraded to sup-
port the Simple Backup Function in the “-V1” upgrade.
Simple Backup Function
The CPU Unit’s Simple Backup Function can be used to automatically
backup, restore, and compare the Protocol Macro data (both standard system
protocol and user-set protocol data) in the Serial Communications Board or
Unit’s flash memory with the data in the CPU Unit’s Memory Card. The Proto-
col Macro data is backed up, restored, or compared along with all of the data
in the CPU Unit. (The Simple Backup Function can be used with CS1-H, CJ1-
H, and CJ1M CPU Units only.)
