SOFTWARE BACKUP AND RESTORE

CONNECTING TO USB DRIVES
The controller has built-in USB ports for connecting to USB drives. The USB drives can be used for backing up
all settings and reported conditions such as alarm history and current values.
CREATING A BACKUP FILE
The controller can create a backup file of set-points and configuration variables on a USB drive or in the
controller's internal memory. This creates a files named User_Backup.txt.
IMPORTANT:

At first startup or commissioning, or prior to communicating with Technical Support about performance
issues, we recommend creating a backup file for each controller.

Name each file with the unit sales order-line number found on the silver nameplate attached to the
electrical access door.

We recommend emailing these files to Technical Support.

Also consider creating a backup file whenever significant program changes are made.
To create a system backup file using the handheld or virtual keypad/display buttons:
1. Go to MAIN Menu/Ctrl Variables/Advanced/Login screen. Press the Enter and Up or Down arrow
buttons to enter the service password 4800
2. Go the Main Menu/Ctrl Variables/Advanced/Backup/Restore screen
3. Press the Up or Down arrow buttons to navigate to the Backup Settings screen

creates the backup file.
