Manipulating Files Section 5-2
Backup Files The backup function can be used to store all of the CPU Unit’s data (the entire
I/O memory, program, and parameter area) on the Memory Card without a
Programming Device. If a problem develops with the CPU Unit’s data, the
backed-up data can be restored immediately. (Not supported by CS-series
CS1 CPU Units that are pre-EV1)
Symbols Table Files The CX-Programmer can be used to save program symbols and I/O com-
ments in symbols table files called SYMBOLS.SYM in Memory Cards or EM
file memory.
Comment Files The CX-Programmer can be used to save program rung comments in com-
ment files called COMMENTS.CMT in Memory Cards or EM file memory.
5-2 Manipulating Files
The following procedures are used to read, write and otherwise work with files
using the following methods.
• Programming Devices
• FINS commands
• FREAD(700), FWRIT(701), and CMND(490) instructions in the user pro-
gram (CMND(490): Not supported by CS-series CS1 CPU Units that are
pre-EV1
.)
• Replacement of the entire program using AuxilIary Area control bits (Not
supported by CS-series CS1 CPU Units that are pre-EV1)
• Automatic transfer at startup
• Backup function (Not supported by CS-series CS1 CPU Units that are
pre-EV1)
