Files
Overview of File
Operations
You can save register data, including setup information
and snapshot information, as a file on a local disk or
removable disk, and recall it as required.
You can operate on individual files or registers, or together
in a batch.
Regarding frame memory, it is possible to capture image
data stored in an external device into frame memory. You
can also convert the format of image data in frame memory
into a different format and save it in an external device.
Local disks and removable disks
A "local disk" refers to an internal flash memory drive in
a control panel. A "removable disk" refers to generic USB-
compatible external storage devices connected to the
system.
Files that can be manipulated
The following files can be saved and recalled.
• Operation mode setup data for system as a whole and
individual devices
• Device status data for system startup

Overview of File Operations

Chapter
File operations
You can carry out the following file operations.
When operating on individual files or registers
Save: Saves the data in a register to a local disk or
removable disk.
Load: Loads a file from a local disk or removable disk.
Copy: Copies a file within a directory or from one
directory to another. When a remote panel is used, this
function applies to it, too.
Rename: Renames a file on a local disk or removable disk.
Delete: Deletes a file from a local disk or removable disk.
When operating on files or registers in a batch
The Save, Load, Copy and Delete operations above are
available.
Notes on transferring multiple frame memory
files together to removable disk
• Transferring all of the files within frame memory
together fails if the capacity of the removable disk is too
small to hold all of the images.
In this case, replace with a larger capacity removable
disk, or delete files until saving is possible.
The following table roughly shows the relation between
removable disk capacity and number of files that can be
saved.

256 MB 214
When transferring to a local disk, make sure there is
ample capacity, so that problems such as this do not
occur.
• If you cancel the operation during a data transfer
between frame memory and a local disk or removable
disk, then an image which was not completely
transferred will not be reproducible. Avoid canceling
such operations.
• When loading a file from a local disk or removable disk,
if [Freeze Enable] in the Freeze menu is on, the loaded
file may sometimes be overwritten by the frame memory
input image.
