9 System Backup
DX100 9.3 Automatic Backup Function
9-8
The automatic backup function has the following functions and features.
No Function/Feature Explanation
1 Cyclic backup
In the teach mode, the data in
memory is backed up in a specified
cycle from a specified starting time.
This function backs up as much of
the latest data as possible during
editing. The backup data saved in
the CompactFlash can be loaded to
the DX100 in case of data loss so
that the damage can be minimized.
2 Backup when switching modes
When switching the mode from the
teach mode to the play mode, the
data in memory is backed up.
The editing data is backed up when
editing is completed. The latest
data is automatically backed up with
this mode.
3 Backup when start-up
When the DX100 is start-up, the data
in memory is backed up.
When the DX 100 starts up, the
data in memory is backed up. Since
the editing/playback operation is
usually completed when the DX100
power is turned OFF, the latest data
is automatically backed up with this
mode.
4 Backup when inputting specified
signals
The data in memory is backed up
when a specified signal(#40560) is
input.
The data in memory is backed up by
the signal from the host at the
intended timing. Although the
above mentioned items 1 to 3 are
designed to back up the data
automatically, this function backs up
the data in accordance with the
instruction from the host.
5 Backup while robot program is
stopped
The backup during playback is
disabled. However, in the play mode,
the backup is enabled if the robot is
stopped. ("Cyclic backup" and
"Backup when inputting specified
signals")
Backs up the variables for essential
data.
6 Backup and retry at low priority
The data in memory is backed up at
low priority so that this operation
does not affect the other operations.
When other operations affect the
backup operation, the backup is
suspended and retried later.
The backup operation hardly affects
the other operations so that the
programming pendant can be used
even during the backup operation.
7 Backup in binary
The data is saved as binary data.
The range is same as that of the
"ALL CMOS AREA" in {FD/CF}, but
the data type is different.
Backup in binary allows the system
to be easily and speedily restored.
8 Setting of items
Parameters can limit the settings of
the backup condition.
Unnecessary settings can be
avoided with this setting.
