Maintenance Procedures
This section describes the procedures for backing up the Programmable Multi-Axis Controller data and
replacing a Unit.
Note the following when replacing any faulty Unit.
• Do not replace a Unit until the power is turned OFF.
• Check the new Unit to ensure that there are no errors.
• If you return a faulty Unit for repair, describe the problem in as much detail as possible and enclose
this description with the Unit.
Back up the Programmable Multi-Axis Controller data so that the data can be restored when a failure or
other problems occur.
Use Power PMAC IDE to create a backup file. Power PMAC IDE is also used to restore the backup file
to the Programmable Multi-Axis Controller.
For details of the backup and restoration procedures, refer to “Power PMAC IDE User Manual”.

1
Creation of a backup
file
Create a backup file for the Programmable
Multi-Axis Controller by using Power PMAC IDE.
The backup file can be saved on the computer
hard disk where Power PMAC IDE is installed or
