Recording Function

This section shows the procedure for performing the recording function.
1.
Mount a CPU module and a recorder module on a base unit and wire them.

To use an SD memory card for saving an event history file, insert the SD memory card in the CPU module.
2.
Insert an SD memory card in the recorder module.

3.
Turn the power of the system ON.
Check the following items, then turn the power ON.
• The power supply is wired correctly.
• The power supply voltage is within the specification.
• The CPU module is in the STOP state.
4.
Connect a personal computer on which GX Works3 is installed to the CPU module.
5.
Initialize the CPU module.
If an SD memory card is inserted in the CPU module, initialize it.
For the method for initializing a CPU module and SD memory card, refer to the following:
GX Works3 Operating Manual
6.
Set the recorder module in the system parameter in GX Works3.
System parameters can be set by reading an actual system configuration to a module configuration diagram in GX Works3.
7.
Set parameters of the recorder module.

10.
Write data such as the parameters and program, and the recording settings to the CPU module at the same time.
If not reading the project data at the same time as a recording file, read and save the project separately after writing. (Manage
the read project with the recording file saved while the project is being used.)
For details on reading recording files, refer to the following:
GX Works3 Operating Manual
Recording settings cannot be written to an SD memory card; therefore, the boot operation cannot be
performed. For the boot operation, recording settings must be written to the data memory.
11.
Reset the CPU module or turn the power OFF and ON to apply the settings.
12.
Format the SD memory card inserted in the recorder module.
For the method for formatting an SD memory card, refer to the following:
