Hotsync
Hotsync is a feature built into the control system that is a way for all module settings and
configurations to be stored in the RCT 5023-G 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 function supplements this with another level of
convenience.
Once enabled Hotsync will remember all the settings and configurations for all modules
installed in a Series 5000 Rack. This way when a defective modu
le is “hot swapped” the
settings that were previously used are written into the new module. No switches to set,
nothing to calibrate, plug and play convenience.
The Hotsync function is totally automatic and runs in the background. This function
requires no user intervention once enabled in the GUI.
NOTE:
Hotsync is only available for Series 5000, modules of Series 3000 are not
supported
Switching on Hotsync
The Hotsync function is off by default and needs to be enabled in the control system GUI.
Highlight the RCT 5023-G
in the folder tree and select the “Settings” tab. Here you will
see a checkbox to turn this function ON or OFF.
Note.
The Hotsync function is specific to each RCT 5023-G controller and will need to be
enabled for each controller of this type used in your system.
