9.3.1 Preserving Configuration and Log Data
Perform this backup procedure before your remove power from the
FB100 for repairs, troubleshooting, removing or adding components, or
upgrades. This procedure preserves the current flow computer
configuration and log data held in RAM.
Caution
When installing equipment in a hazardous area, ensure that all
components are approved for use in such areas. Check the product
labels. Change components only in an area known to be non-hazardous.
Performing these procedures in a hazardous area could result in
personal injury or property damage.
To avoid circuit damage when working inside the unit, use appropriate
electrostatic discharge precautions, such as wearing a grounded wrist
strap.
1.
Start ROCLINK 800, log in, and connect to the FB100.
2.
Ensure that the configuration is saved in flash memory by
performing a Save to Flash Memory (
ROC
>
Flags
). This saves all
configuration settings, including the current states of the ROC Flags
and calibration values.
3.
Select
ROC
>
Collect Data
and select the All checkbox. Click
OK
.
This action saves event logs, alarm logs, report data, and history.
You can specify your own file name and path if desired.
4.
Select
File
>
Save Configuration
. The Save As dialog box appears.
5.
Type the desired file name for the backup file (or use the default).
6.
Click
Save
. ROCLINK 800 saves the file to the default directory
C:/Program Files/ROCLINK 800/Data (unless you changed the
directory).
9.3.2 Resetting the FB100
The Reset jumper is located on the LCD (if installed) or on the Battery
Charger board. Use the reset jumper to perform a special type of cold
start, in which the power-up re-establishes the FB100 to a known
operating point. This includes re-initializing the Communication Ports
to the factory default configuration.
This type of reset restores the communications ports to the factory
configuration defaults. Some user-entered configuration parameters may
be lost. Therefore, back up any required data before you perform this
reset. Refer to
Section 9.3.1
