Copy Menu; Configuration - Honeywell 301C User Manual

5. Copy Menu
The Copy menu allows programmed parameters to be copied and
transferred. Data from the SD card can be transferred to a controller
or from a controller to the SD card or copy parameters from one de‐
vice to the next. The Copy option offers three screens: Configuration,
Parameters and System Log.
Configuration
If the controller is equipped with an SD card, the configuration func‐
tion allows data to be transferred either from the 301C controller to
the SD card or the reverse. This makes it possible to transfer the con‐
troller's programming to a computer or from a computer to the con‐
troller.
The first option in the configuration screen is 301C controller to
SDcard. Selecting this option copies the controller's configuration and
parameters into a "config.ini" file
Note: The second option is SDcard to 301C controller allows the
configuration and parameters of the "config.ini" file on an SDcard
to be copied to the controller. Power must be cycled to fully
implement the SD card's configuration by stowing the jumper on
the SHDN pin (see the illustration on page 12.) The "config.ini"
file contents can be modified at any time and from any computer.

When transferring data, the system will automatically search for an existing "config.ini"
file before proceeding. If one exists, the system searches for a "config.bak" file.
If found, the file is deleted. Then, the pre-existing "config.ini" file is renamed
"config.bak", making it possible to save the new "config.ini" file and keep a
backup copy of the previous one.
After inserting an SD card into the controller, the controller's system looks for an
existing "config.ini" file that contains an "autoload" tag equal to 1 (yes). If the tag
is found, the system loads the contents of the file and resets "autoload" to 0
(no). This is a useful feature for editing the file on a computer without having any
impact on the controller (such as recorded Events).
