NJ-series CPU Unit Software User’s Manual (W501)
With the Sysmac Studio variable and memory backup functions, you can restore the data even if the
models of the CPU Units for backing up and restoring data are different.
The models of the CPU Units for backing up and restoring data can be different only when using
a CPU Unit with version 1.04 or later and Sysmac Studio version 1.05 or higher. The compatibil-
ity for all other cases is given in the following table.
(C: Compatible, N: Not compatible.)
The following precautions are required for the data that is being backed up and restored.
There are no precautions for the present values of variables with a Retain attribute. You can restore the
data with no problems regardless of the models of the backup and restore CPU Units.
The following precautions are necessary for the present values in the DM, EM, and Holding Areas of
memory used for CJ-series Units if the models of the backup and restore CPU Units are different.
