Backing Up Settings
Before you replace an EtherCAT slave that is currently performing communications, the settings of the
EtherCAT slave to replace are backed up.
The settings of an EtherCAT slave are divided according to the storage locations and setting methods
into initial parameters and backup parameters, as shown in the following table.
Slave settings Storage location Slave setting method
Initial parameters EtherCAT master These parameters are set automatically from the
EtherCAT master when EtherCAT communications
start or when a slave is connected.
Backup parameters EtherCAT slaves You set these parameters by transferring them to the
slaves from the Backup Parameter Settings Tab
Page of the Sysmac Studio.
The data can also be transferred from the EtherCAT
Drive Tab Page.
To replace an EtherCAT slave, you first back up the backup parameters that are stored in the Ether-
CAT slave.
