A-11 Replacing CPU Units with Unit
Version 1.02 or Earlier
A CPU Unit with a unit version of 1.02 or earlier does not support the SD Memory Card backup func-
tions and Sysmac Studio Controller backup functions. Therefore, the following work is required to
replace a CPU Unit when it fails or to change to a newer version.
Details on the above work is provided in the following sections.
Upload the following three types of data from the old CPU Unit. Each of these must be uploaded sepa-
rately. Use the Sysmac Studio and the Network Configurator.
*1 You need to upload tag data link tables only when tag data links are set.
The following data in the CPU Unit is not included in the project, present values of variables and
memory, or tag data link tables. Therefore, you must set them again after you replace the CPU
Unit.
• Data Trace Settings
• Controller name
• Operation authority verification
• Time zone setting for the built-in clock
Work Description
Upload the data from the CPU Unit. Upload the following three types of data from the old CPU Unit. Each of
these must be uploaded separately.
• Project
• Present values of variables and memory
• Tag data link tables
Connect the new CPU Unit. Remove the old CPU Unit from the Controller and connect the new CPU
Unit.
Download the data to the CPU Unit. Download the three types of data that you stored in the computer to the
new CPU Unit.
