Using microSD Cards Chapter 9
Restore project from backup
The last step is to restore the project to your controller from the microSD card.
There are two methods to restore the backup, depending on the configuration of
the controller.
Existing Controller - Load Always / Load on Error
For this example, the Load on power up setting was configured to “Load Always”.
This means that the controller loads the project from the memory card whenever
it is powered on.
1.
Insert the microSD card into the microSD card slot.
2.
Cycle power to the controller.
3.
When the SD LED displays a steady green light, the project restore is
complete.
This method is used for an existing controller that has been configured and you
want to update the program.
New Controller
If your controller is new, you can use the ConfigMeFirst.txt file to restore the
project backup.
Example Configuration for Project Restore
In the example shown above, the ConfigMeFirst.txt file configures the IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway of the controller, and restores the project from the
location specified on the microSD card.
The ConfigMeFirst.txt file must be placed in the same root directory as the
backup folder in the microSD card.
1.
Insert the microSD card into the microSD card slot.
2.
Cycle power to the controller.
3.
When the SD LED displays a steady green light, the project restore is
complete.
