9-12 Compatibility between Backup-
related Files
The files may not be compatible if you back up and restore data under different conditions.
The files may not be compatible in these three cases:
• When the function that was used to back up data is different from the function that was used to
restore it.
• When the model number of the CPU Unit where the data was backed up from does not match the
model number where data is being restored.
• When the unit versions of the CPU Unit, other Units, or slaves where the data was backed up from
do not match the unit versions where data is being restored.
In this context, the term “restore” is used collectively for these backup functions: restore, automatic
transfer, and read (back up).
The following table shows the file compatibility when the function used to back up the data is different
from the function used to restore it.
(C: Compatible, N: Not compatible.)
*1 The following data is not included.
• The built-in EtherNet/IP port name and built-in EtherNet/IP tag data link settings in the Controller Setup
• Words allocated to CPU Bus Units in the Unit Configuration
• Operation authority verification
• Data Trace Settings
• Time zone setting
