Units
To back up, restore, and verify IO-Link Master Unit parameter settings, use the backup functions for
the entire NJ/NX-series Controller or NY-series Industrial PC. The functions also backup all the other
data in the Controller.
You can use the backup functions of the Sysmac Sysmac Studio to back up, restore, and verify set-
tings to an SD Memory Card
er.
Refer to the software user's manual of the connected CPU Unit for details on the backup functions.
