Automatic Backup to
Flash Memory
The user program and parameters are automatically backed up in flash mem-
ory whenever they are written.
• The following data is backed up automatically: User program, parameters
(including the System Setup, absolute offset data, and analog I/O offset
gain adjustment values), and some DM Area data (only for the Coordina-
tor Module).
• The automatic backup is executed whenever the Module user program or
parameter area is written (e.g., for data transfer operations from the CX-
Programmer and online editing).
• The user program and parameter data written to flash memory is auto-
matically transferred to user memory at startup.
Note The backup status will be displayed in a Memory Backup Status Window by
the CX-Programmer when backing up data from the CX-Programmer for
