1-6-2 Basic Operations
Use the MC Support Software to backup the Unit’s data by transferring the sys-
tem parameters, program, and position data from the Unit to the personal com-
puter. Refer to the MC Support Software Operation Manual (W256) for details on
transferring data.
Data Initialization
1, 2, 3... 1. Change the task number from 1 to 2 or from 2 to 1 in the MC Support Soft-
ware’s Unit Parameter Edit menu. If there are other parameters that should
be changed, change them and save them.
2. Transfer the parameters created in step 1 (from the Unit to the personal
computer). Write “all data” to flash memory.
3. Turn the Unit’s power supply off and on again.
4. Delete the Unit’s entire program with the MC Support Software’s MC Pro-
gram Edit menu. Write “all data” to flash memory.
5. Turn the Unit’s power supply off and on again.
These steps initialize the Unit for the new task configuration.
Data Transfer
1, 2, 3... 1. Create the position data and program for the new task configuration and
transfer the data and program from the personal computer to the Unit. If the
position data and program already exist, just transfer the data and program.
2. When all of the position data and program have been transferred, write “all
data” to flash memory.
These steps complete the Unit’s setup.
