Copying from RAM to ROM
You can use this function to save volatile Control Unit data to the non-volatile Com-
pactFlash card. This ensures that the data is still available after the 24 V Control
Unit supply has been switched off.
This function can be activated as follows:
S Extras –> Setting –> Download –> Activate "Copy from RAM to ROM"
This means that every time you choose "Load project to target system", the
data is transferred to the non-volatile memory.
S Right-click Drive unit –> Target system –> Copy from RAM to ROM
S Drive unit grayed out –> "Copy from RAM to ROM" button
