B3 Button Backup

• 
  
• PCMM2G: Currently does not support controller backup using the B3 menu button.

One of the functions accessible from the B3 button is backing up the controller.

• The Backup function stores a copy of the data on the:
  • AKD PDMM or PCMM's SD card.
  • PCMM2G's USB "Universal Serial Bus" USB is a serial bus standard to interface devices flash drive.
• This function is shown in the 7-segment display as 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:

• PLC "Programmable Logic Controller" A Programmable Logic Controller, PLC, or Programmable Controller is a digital computer used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events Application (including ECAT XML "Extensible Markup Language " XML is a general-purpose markup language. It is classified as an extensible language because it allows its users to define their own tags configuration, cam tables, etc.)
• AKD PDMM or PCMM configurations (auto-start and IP address).
• PLC application.
• Retain Variables.

• 
  

• Controller Log files and EtherCAT ***EtherCAT is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT was to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs devices are not copied to the SD card.
  They can be backed up using the Backup tab in the Web server.
