Copy Menu
The Copy menu allows you to copy and transfer programmed
parameters. You can transfer data from the SD card to a controller or
from a controller to the SD card or copy parameters from one device 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 function
allows you to transfer data either from the 301C to the SD card or the
reverse. This makes it possible to transfer the controller’s programming
to a computer or from a computer to the controller.
The first option in the configuration screen is 301C to SDcard.
Selecting this option copies the controller’s configuration and
parameters into a “config.ini” file
1
.
The second option is SDcard to 301C allows you to copy the
configuration and parameters of the “config.ini” file (saved on) an
SDcard into the controller.
Note: The “config.ini” file contents can be modified at any time and from
any computer.
1. When you are 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 “con-
fig.bak”, making it possible to save the new “config.ini” file and keep a backup copy of
the previous one.
When you insert 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).
