When CX-Process Tool Ver. 4.0 or higher is used, block diagram data, tags,
comments, and annotations that do not directly affect control can be stored (i.e.,
transferred) in flash memory in the Loop Control Board or on a flash Memory
Card installed in the CPU Unit.
This enables function block data, including tags, comments, annotations, and
connection data from the Loop Controller to be uploaded (recovered).
The following data can be transferred and recovered using flash memory. This
data is treated as additional data that does not directly affect control of the Loop
Controller.

The type of flash memory supported depends on the Loop Control Board ver-
sion. The following are the types of flash memory for the transfer destination,
which depend on the combination of the Loop Control Board version and the CX-
Process version.
LCB Ver. 3.0
LCB Ver. 2.0 or earlier
Note 1. Transfer cannot be performed to the Memory Card.
2. Transfer cannot be performed to the inner flash memory.
Transfer or recovery to the inner flash memory will be performed by executing
the following operations.
Transfer to Inner Flash Memory
Download LCU/LCB elements (select Transfer to LC – Selected) or transfer
data to the inner flash memory (select Transfer to LC).
Recover to Inner Flash Memory
New upload (Transfer from LC – New)
The Memory Card backup/recovery functions automatically when the following
operations are performed with the Memory Card installed in the CPU Unit.
Backup to the Memory Card:
Downloading LCU/LCB elements or transferring data to a Memory Card
Recovery from the Memory Card:
Performing new uploads (Transfer from LC – New)
Transfer to flash memory can be performed when LCU/LCB elements are down-
