3-6-2 Device Information Storage Tool

This tool will prevent issues happening at start-up of the Sensor Controller due to recognition delay for

external devices. Be sure to execute this tool when connecting external devices. For example, the fol-

lowing issues can be solved.

• In the case where the operation log save destination is set to an external device, the Sensor Control-

ler fails to save operation records at start-up.

• In the case where a scene group is saved in an external device, the Sensor Controller fails to load the

scene group at start-up.

• When performing a measurement just after the start-up of the Sensor Controller, image logging into

an external device fails.

Important

• Once this tool was utilized, the external device information cannot recover the factory set-

tings even when [System initialization] in [Function] menu is executed.

• Remote operation is not supported.

• When executing this tool, the following information at the time of the tool executed is stored

in the Sensor Controller.

• Information on connected external storage such as device drivers and drive letters.

• Information on communication settings such as IP addresses.

If you changed the connecting configuration of external storage, or communication settings

such as IP addresses ([Tool] → [System settings] → [Communication] → [Ethernet] set-

tings), be sure to execute this tool again.

• The information saved by this tool cannot be transferred to another Sensor Controller with

“Configuration copy” tool. Execute this tool per the Sensor Controller.

• The information for all connected external devices is memorized. Execute this tool after

removing unnecessary external devices to memorize.

• Some of external devices out of operation guarantee need to install a special driver. When

using this tool in a state of such external devices connected, the Sensor Controller might

incorrectly operate. Do not execute this tool in such condition.

• When a Sensor Controller after this tool was executed is started up with network drives con-

nected, the startup time might become longer.

1 Turn on the Sensor Controller after connecting all external devices.
