Backing Up Ladder Programs and PLC Setup

Ladder programs and the PLC Setup are automatically backed up to and restored from the built-in
EEPROM backup memory.
Backing Up Memory
Ladder programs and PLC Setup are backed up to the built-in EEPROM backup memory by trans-
ferring them from the CX-Programmer or writing them using online editing.
Restoring Memory
Ladder programs and PLC Setup are automatically transferred from the built-in EEPROM backup
memory to the RAM memory when power is turned ON again or at startup.
Precautions for Safe Use
The BKUP indicator on the front of the CPU Unit turns ON when data is being written to the built-
in EEPROM backup memory. Never turn OFF the power supply to the CPU Unit when the BKUP
indicator is lit.

I/O Memory Backup

I/O memory is backed up to the built-in EEPROM backup memory only when a bit in the Auxiliary Area
is turned ON to back up specified words in the DM Area.
