These "soft" failures include: • • Battery power loss Battery-Backed Register RAM or Application Flash corruption due to, for example, an excessive EMI event.
CH. 14 MAN0892-03-EN 5. Set the ‘Enable AutoRun’ option to YES if the controller needs to be placed in RUN mode automatically after automatic restore of data or AutoLoad operation. 14.3 Backup / Restore Data Selecting this option brings up a screen having four operations: • • • • Backup OCS Data. Restore OCS Data. Clear Backup Data. Exit Figure 14.2: Backup / Restore Data Backup OCS Data: Figure 14.
MAN0892-03-EN CH. 14 Restore OCS Data: When initiated, this will allow the user to manually copy the backed up data from the onboard FLASH to the Battery-Backed RAM. A restore operation will be automatically initiated if a backup has been previously created and on powerup the Battery-Backed RAM registers fail their check. The following process will be followed for restoring data: • The controller will be placed in IDLE mode.
CH. 14 MAN0892-03-EN Figure 14.5: Clear Backup Data Exit: Goes back to the previous screen.
MAN0892-03-EN CH. 14 The OCS follows the following sequence in execution of Automatic Restore: Figure 14.
CH. 14 14.4 MAN0892-03-EN AutoLoad Figure 14.7: AutoLoad Menu This system menu option allows the user to specify whether the OCS automatically loads the application AUTOLOAD.PGM located in Removable Media. When the AutoLoad setting is enabled (set to YES), it can either be manually initiated or automatically initiated at power-up. The automatic initiation will happen only in the following two cases: • When there is no application program in the OCS and a valid AUTOLOAD.
MAN0892-03-EN CH. 14 The OCS follows the following sequence in execution of AutoLoad: Figure 14.
CH. 14 14.5 MAN0892-03-EN AutoRun Figure 14.9: AutoRun Menu This system menu option, when enabled (YES), allows the user to automatically place the OCS into RUN mode after the AutoLoad operation or automatic Restore Data operation. When the AutoRun setting is disabled (NO), the OCS remains in the IDLE mode after a Restore Data or AutoLoad operation. %SR164.5 can be set by putting the system into RUN mode automatically, once an AutoLoad has been performed or an Automatic Restore has occurred.
MAN0892-03-EN CH.15 CHAPTER 15: CLONE UNIT 15.1 Overview ‘Clone Unit’ feature allows the user to “clone” the OCS of the exact same model. This feature “clones” application program and unit settings stored in Battery backed RAM of an OCS into the RM (refer Removable Media Chapter 8 for details on using RM). It can then be used to clone a different OCS (exact same model). This feature can be used for: • • 15.2 Replacing an OCS by another unit of the same model. Duplicating or “clone” units without a PC.
CH.15 MAN0892-03-EN 3. Make / Create Clone option enables user to duplicate / Clone application file, all unit settings and all register values from Battery Backed RAM. Selecting Make Clone brings up the screen below for the user: Figure 15.3: Clone Unit Confirm Screen After confirmation, the OCS will create two new files in the root directory of the Removable Media Drive as shown below: AUTOLOAD.PGM CLONE.
MAN0892-03-EN CH.15 4. Once the cloning is successful, OCS gives a message as below: Figure 15.5: Cloning Status Make/Create clone can also be triggered by setting %SR164.9 bit to “1” from Ladder program or graphics. Once the operation is completed, this bit is made zero by the firmware. When Make clone operation is triggered by this SR bit, it does not ask the user for confirmation for making clone. The success / failure of the operation is also not notified on screen to the user.
CH.15 MAN0892-03-EN 2. Selecting “Clone Unit” menu will open the following menu screen. Select “Load Clone”. Figure 15.7: Clone Unit Menu after Cloning 3. User needs to confirm Load Clone as shown below: Figure 15.8: Load Clone Confirm Screen 4. After confirmation, all unit settings and register values will be loaded from Removable media to the Battery backed RAM (Regardless of AutoLoad settings) and then OCS resets for the settings to take effect.
MAN0892-03-EN CH. 16 CHAPTER 16: MAINTENANCE 16.1 Firmware Updates The QX351 product contains field upgradable firmware to allow new features to be added to the product at a later time. Firmware updates should only be performed when a new feature or correction is required. Warning: Firmware updates are only performed when the equipment being controlled by the QX351 is in a safe, non-operational state.
CH. 16 MAN0892-03-EN If the optional controller pop-up status is enabled when the QX351detects battery failure, a pop-up status dialog is displayed on the current screen to alert the operator of the Ok status change. The operator can then invoke the system menu diagnostic sub-menu to determine the cause of the loss of Ok status. Alternately, the screen designer can also place a graphic object or audible indicator (through ladder logic) in the application (referenced to OCS register %SR55.
