Backup and Restore Functions
(only available w/new CPU 151xx515)
The MCP-25/MS control with new CPU (151xx515) is equipped with 8Mbytes of Flash memory. In addition to the
ability to store a program, flash memory provides the capability to back up (and restore) job storage (up to 100 jobs)
and all setup parameters. This capability offers the following advantages:
• All jobs and setup parameters can be recovered, even when the backup battery has been discharged (70
days w/o power).
• After a software update, all settings can be restored immediately.
Note! We strongly recommend that customers perform frequent backups (weekly) to ensure accurate and current
job data. We also recommend that backups be performed before a control is shipped, after a control is
installed and adjusted, and whenever significant changes are made to setup parameters.
