For collecting device current values, use the recipe function.
For how to use the recipe function, refer to the following manual.
GT Designer3 (GOT2000) Screen Design Manual
For collecting data stored in device memories, use GX Developer.
■Names of files to be backed up
When characters other than the characters defined in the shift JIS code and ASCII code are used for file names, the file
names may not be correctly displayed with the data backed up on the GOT.
For using the backup/restore function, use characters in the JIS code and ASCII code for file names.
■Backing up intelligent function module parameters
For backing up an intelligent function module parameter (IPARAM.QPA), only the parameters that can be stored in the PLC
CPU are the target parameters.
To store other intelligent function module parameters than those, GX Configurator applied to GX Works2 and the intelligent
function module is required.
For the intelligent function module parameters that can be stored in the PLC CPU, refer to the following.
