5.1 What is the Backup Controller Function

The Manipulator configuration set by EPSON RC+ 7.0 can be stored with the "Backup
Controller" function.
The Manipulator settings can be restored easily using the data previously stored with
"Backup Controller" after a configuration mistake or Manipulator problem.
Be sure to execute "Backup Controller" before changing the Manipulator setup, before
maintenance, or after teaching.
For some problems, backup may not be available before maintenance has to be performed.
Be sure to backup the data after making changes before problems occur.
"Controller Status Storage" is one of the VT series Manipulator functions. It saves the
NOTE

The methods for "Controller Status Storage" are as follows:
