7.2.7 BACKUP AND RESTORE OPERATIONS
The {Maintenance Operations} screen provides the user with the
capability to take a backup of the MLX200 Control Module firmware or
take a backup of all the Control Module files a precautionary step, so that
the firmware or the Control Module can be recovered or restored from the
backup if needed. The user can create a backup of just the firmware files
which includes the MLX200 PLC Interface Application and its components
and dependencies. The user can also create a backup of all Control
Module files, which include the system files in addition to firmware files.
The firmware or the Control Module can thus be restored from these
backups should the need arise.
The procedure to backup firmware or to backup all Control Module files is
similar. Click on the “Download/Backup” category on the left in the
{Maintenance Operations} screen, and select the appropriate backup
operation as shown in Fig.7-18 "Selecting a Backup Operation".

It is recommended to take a firmware backup as well as a
full Control Module backup when a new MLX200 system is
commissioned, and before making significant changes to
the application or system configuration.
