Backup Using the B3 Button

One of the functions accessible from the B3 button is backing up the controller. The Backup function will store a copy of the AKD PDMM or PCMM's data on a SD card. This function is displayed on the 7-segment display as shown here ("bACUP"). Pressing B2 selects the function. This function does not initiate automatically, B2 must be pressed again to confirm the process.

The data that is backed up and copied to the SD card includes:


  • Controller Log files and EtherCAT devices are not copied to the SD card. They can be backed up using the Backup Tab in the Web Server.
