Comparing to the Machine Controller
The operation depends on whether a project file on the PC is currently open (offline) or whether
the Machine Controller is online.
•
Offline
After a connection to the Machine Controller is established, the currently open project file
data and the Machine Controller RAM data will be compared, and the results will be dis-
played in the Transfer Pane.
•
Online
When you specify (or create) a project file to compare, the project file data and the Machine
Controller RAM data will be compared, and the results will be displayed in the Transfer Pane.
4.5.7
Comparing Flash Memory and RAM Data
The Machine Controller RAM data and the flash memory data will be compared, and the results
will be displayed in the Transfer Pane. You can save the data to flash memory only when the
Machine Controller is connected (online).
4.5.8
Comparing to a Project File
The currently open project file data and the data in another project file will be compared, and
the results will be displayed in the Transfer Pane. This comparison can be executed only when
the Machine Controller is offline.
Do not turn OFF the power supply to the Machine Controller until saving the data to
flash memory has been completed.
If you turn OFF the power supply to the Machine Controller while data is being saved
to flash memory, the data will be lost.
If you then turn ON the power supply to the Machine Controller, the Machine Control-
ler will start with the factory default conditions.
