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 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 Application (including ECAT XML configuration, cam tables, etc.)
  • AKD PDMM or PCMM configurations (auto-start and IP address).
  • PLC application.
  • Retain Variables.

  • 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.
