Request Concerning Program Storage
To prevent the accidental loss of programs, the user should consider the following
measures.
Drafting of documents
To avoid accidentally losing programs, destroying files, or overwriting the contents of
a file, documents should be printed out and then saved. Disks should be organized to
assure safe maintenance.
Specifying the password carefully
The password setting is designed to avoid programs being accidentally overwritten. If
the password is forgotten, however, it will be impossible to overwrite the program even
if you want to. Also, if a password is forcibly bypassed, the program is deleted. When
specifying the password, note it in the specifications manual or in another safe location
in case it is forgotten at some point.
Saving programs to the ROM
In order to prevent programs from being lost if the backup battery runs down, and to
prevent accidental overwriting of programs in the workplace, we recommend saving
programs entered in the RAM to the ROM. If the PLC is used over a long period of time,
this concern applies particularly to programs that are built into the device when shipped.
Check the manuals for specifications and other items pertaining to usage.
