HotSync Backup
HotSync Backup is a feature built into the control system to store all module settings and
configurations to the R FR 5041 Controller. Currently all module settings are stored in
Flash Ram within the module which survive module removal / power cycles and even
long term storage. The HotSync Backup function supplements this with another level of
security.
Once enabled HotSync Backup will remember all the settings and configurations for all
modules installed in a R FR 5041 rack frame. This way when a defec
tive module is “hot
swapped” the settings that were previously used are automatically written into the new
module. No switches to set, nothing to calibrate, simple plug and play convenience.
The HotSync function is totally automatic and runs in the background. This function
requires no user intervention once initially enabled in the GUI.
