Delta AS218TX-A User Manual

7.5 Introduction to the CARD Utility
The AS Series CPU modules include SDHC slots, and you can back up and restore PLC CPU data with a
memory card. ISPSoft includes the CARD Utility for the AS Series CPU modules. With this utility, you can back
up and restore data in an AS Series CPU module or backup and restore an ISPSoft project. The backup can
include the program code, parameter settings, hardware configuration, network configuration, and the values
in the latched area in an AS series CPU module. Refer to AS Series Manuals for more information about the
specifications and usage of SDHC cards with AS Series CPU modules.
For AS Series PLC CPU firmware V1.08.20 or previous versions, the PLC CPU backs up and restores the
following data:
 Programs includes PLC execution code, PLC programs, project password, and PLC ID.
 Parameters includes HWCONFIG settings, configurations of CPU module and modules, data exchange
table, and positioning planning table.
 Retainable data includes device setting range, values in retainable devices.
Note: Ethernet/IP and CANopdn DS301 data exchange tables created by the network planning tool cannot be
backed up or restored.
For AS Series PLC CPU firmware V1.10.00 or later versions, the PLC CPU backs up and restores the above-
mentioned data and the following data:
 User Language C execution code
 Device default value table
 E-CAM table
 Data Logger parameters
 Ethernet/IP Tag
 Ethernet/IP data exchange table
 OPC UA Tag
 IOLINK device parameters of AS04SIL
 CANopen DS301 data exchange table
NOTE: if the backup file created by the PLC CPU whose firmware is different from the one you are going to
perform restoring, things will be like one of the followings:
* Backing up on the older firmware version of the PLC CPU and restoring to a later firmware version of the
PLC CPU: Backup file can be restored on the later firmware version of the PLC.
* Backing up on the later firmware version of the PLC CPU and restoring to an older firmware version of the
PLC CPU: Backup file can NOT be restored on the older firmware version of the PLC. It is suggested to
upgrade the PLC firmware or use a backup file created by the same firmware version of the PLC CPU to
perform restoring.
