Functions of the memory card

3.1

Backup

If the card is formatted as a backup card, projects and recipes can be transferred
to and from the memory card either during run-time by using the function or
touch keys, or via Setup in the operator terminal. This makes it possible to create
backup copies of projects and recipes stored in the terminal. Projects and recipes
stored on the memory card can also be reused, by installing the card in other ter-
minals.
Autoloading terminal projects from memory card
To automatically load a project from the memory card when the operator termi-
nal is turned on, the following requirements must be met:
– The memory card must be formatted as a backup card.
– The memory card has to be mounted in Slot 1 in the operator terminal.
– The project has to be loaded on the memory card from an operator terminal
identical to the terminal that will use the memory card for autoload. The ter-
minals must for example use the same version of system program, armament
and configuration.
– The project name on the project to autoload has to be AUTOLOAD.
After booting from the memory card and copying system files, the terminal has
to restarted. Then a prompt message will appear, asking if the existing terminal
project is to be overwritten. Answer No to put the terminal in run-mode.
If there is a project named AUTOLOAD on a memory card in an operator
terminal with an existing project, the prompt message will appear at startup.
Answering Yes will overwrite the existing project. The prompt message remains
until acknowledged.
Note!
Turn off the operator terminal and remove the IFC MC with an AUTOLOAD project
after booting from it and copying system files. Otherwise the terminal will wait for
an acknowledge to the prompt message every time the terminal starts up.
