Backing Up, Saving, And Restoring Offset/Gain Values; When The Module-Specific Backup Parameter Is Used - Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-R Series User Manual

1.18
Backing up, Saving, and Restoring Offset/Gain
Values
Normal
The D/A converter module makes it possible to back up, save, and restore the offset/gain values of the user range setting.
• Back up: Creates a module-specific backup parameter and saves offset/gain values.
• Save: Saves the offset/gain information, which was registered in this module by making the offset/gain setting, in the CPU
module.
• Restoration: Writes the information backed up and saved in the CPU module to this module.
In the event that the module fails and needs to be replaced, the offset/gain values of the failed D/A converter module can be
restored onto the new D/A converter module.
In addition, if multiple D/A converter modules are mounted on the same system, the offset/gain values set for one of the D/A
converter modules can be applied to the other modules.
However, if the offset/gain values are saved and restored, the accuracy after the restoration decreases by approximately three
times compared to that before the restoration. Reconfigure the offset/gain setting when required.
Only when the model where the offset/gain values are to be saved and the model where the offset/gain values are to be
restored are the same, the offset/gain values can be saved and restored.
Each procedure differs depending on whether a module-specific backup parameter is used or not.

When the module-specific backup parameter is used

Normal
Offset/gain values are automatically restored when the failed module is replaced with a new one using the online module
change.
For details on the online module change, refer to the following.

Details of the module-specific backup parameter
A module-specific backup parameter is a file created in an SD memory card or the data memory of the control CPU.
The contents of the parameter are the offset/gain value of the user range stored in the flash memory of the D/A converter
module.
The file name of a module-specific backup parameter is determined as follows based on the start I/O number of the D/A
converter module.
UBPmmmnn.BPR
• mmm indicates a value calculated by dividing the module I/O No. by 10H (3 digits in hexadecimal).
• nn indicates a consecutive number of the module-specific backup parameters for each module and fixed to 00.
