Section 5.7.2 Backup of Application
3BSE 002 415R701 Rev A 5-87
AdvaBuild On-line Builder supports the preparation of flash cards with application dumps,
DUAP. The AdvaBuild On-line Builder User’s Guide describes the different working
procedures in detail. Following is an overview.
Considerations
• The system program backup and the application program backup can not be mixed in one
single flash card.
• Flash cards are available in three memory sizes (currently), 2 Mbytes, 4 Mbytes and
10 Mbytes. Select a type that takes the actual application program.
• The flash card for application backup must first be formatted using the AdvaBuild On-line
Builder.
• The application program dump (DUAP) to be used should be taken while the controller is
in the operation mode (P1). This will ensure that no manual intervention is needed to get
into full operation after a shut down and an automatic restart.
Step-by-step Instruction
1. An application program dump (DUAP) for the actual controller is assumed to be available
in the engineering station.
2. Insert a suitable flash card in the desired PCMCIA slot of the engineering station.
(Two slot available.)
3. Select the On-line Builder menu for Flash Card | Write.
4. Select the desired DUAP.
5. Pushing the Enter button will start the creation of the backup flash card which is now
denoted an application program card.
6. Move the application program card to the Program Card Interface MB510 of the
controller.
The program card can be inserted on-line:
No configuration work needed.
The green LED on MB510 front will light.
A new item representing the added program card will be created automatically in the
system status display on the operator station.
Regarding appropriate hardware and software see Section 3.1.2.4, Backup of Application
Program.
7. The application program card is now ready for operation. However you are advised to
make a functional test of the backup in a non-critical situation. I.e. perform a cold start of
the controller when a possible shut down is accepted from a process control viewpoint.
Any checksum error of the original DUAP file will be detected in connection to the
downloading to the controller RAM.
Maintenance
During normal operation a program card is continuously supervised. The supervision is partly
based on checksum calculation. For the application backup the checksum is calculated in
connection to the program card insertion. (For the system software backup the checksum is
established during the system program generation, that is, part of the code.)
