 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read this manual thoroughly and follow all the safety precautions and instructions
given in this manual before operations such as system configuration and program
creation.
Keep this manual handy so that you can refer to it any time you want.
If you have any question concerning any part of this manual, contact your nearest
Hitachi branch office or service engineer.
Hitachi will not be responsible for any accident or failure resulting from your operation
in any manner not described in this manual.
Hitachi will not be responsible for any accident or failure resulting from modification of
software provided by Hitachi.
Hitachi will not be responsible for reliability of software not provided by Hitachi.
Make it a rule to back up every file. Any trouble on the file unit, power failure during
file access or incorrect operation may destroy some of the files you have stored. To
prevent data destruction and loss, make file backup a routine task.
Furnish protective circuits externally and make a system design in a way that ensures
safety in system operations and provides adequate safeguards to prevent personal
injury and death and serious property damage even if the product should become
faulty or malfunction or if an employed program is defective.
If an emergency stop circuit, interlock circuit, or similar circuit is to be formulated, it
must be positioned external to the programmable controller. If you do not observe
this precaution, equipment damage or accident may occur when the programmable
controller becomes defective.
Before changing the program, generating a forced output, or performing the RUN,
STOP, or like procedure during an operation, thoroughly verify the safety because the
use of an incorrect procedure may cause equipment damage or other accident.

“RUN/STOP” SWITCH CAUTION

The “RUN/STOP” switch only stops execution of the ladder logic program or HI-FLOW
program. Digital and analog outputs are left in the active state when execution stops,
unless the optional rungs described in the CPU manual have been added. The
“RUN/STOP” switch does not affect the operation of C-language or FA-BASIC language
programs. Outputs can still be produced in response to C-language or FA-BASIC
programs, or by the action of programmers typing in commands in these languages,
while the “RUN/STOP” switch is in the “STOP” position.

DO NOT DEPEND ON THE STOP SWITCH TO STOP MOVING PARTS OR TO

PREVENT UNEXPECTED MOTION OR ENERGIZATION. USE HARDWIRED
SAFETY DISCONNECT AND LOCK OUT POWER AND CONTROL VOLTAGES
BEFORE WORKING ON ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS OR PARTS THAT CAN MOVE.

1.3 Backup Area

The backup command saves the following areas.

(1) System area and ladder program area

The following areas are automatically saved by the backup command.
• OS (work area included)
• Ladder program and DW register
• FW and BD registers
• Timer setting and keep-relay status values

For the addresses of these areas, see “APPENDIX B BACKUP AREAS.”

(2) Installed optional-module areas

The installed optional-module areas are also saved automatically by the backup command, but
where they are saved depends on the optional module used. For the addresses of these areas,
see “APPENDIX B BACKUP AREAS.” Some optional modules include a sub-OS and other
software coding in the extension memory. At backup time, the user is advised to save all the
installed extension memory areas. For the installed extension memory and addresses, see
Tables 1-1 and 1-2.

1.4 Backup/Restore Precautions

When executing the backup command with optional modules installed, you must observe
precautions (1) through (7) below. If you specify a backup area for each installed module, an
incomplete backup may result. When extension memory cards are installed, therefore, you
should execute the backup command so as to cover all the extension memory areas (e.g.,
specify addresses /100000 through /1FFFFE as the extension area addresses when 1 MB of
extension memory is installed).

(1) External serial link/RS-232C link module

If you execute the backup command while the external serial link module (Model: LWE046) or
RS-232C link module (Model: LWE450 or LQE060) is used with the task system, the handler
program and reception task registration table will not automatically be backed up. To back up
such items, specify the extension area address range so as to include the following addresses.

Name Address
Reception task registration module /107000 to /107FFE

When the RS-232C link module (LWE450) of the 2α Series is used as a higher-level link (H-
7338), the sub-OS will not automatically be backed up. To backup the sub-OS, specify the
extension area address range so as to include the addresses shown below. For the S10mini
series, however, there is no need to make such a backup.

Name Address
Higher-level link sub-OS /170000 to /170FFE

(2) ET.LINK module

The handler program and HOSTS table for the ET.LINK module (Model: LWE400) will not
automatically be backed up. To back up such items, specify the extension area address range so
as to include the following addresses.

Name Address
Handler program and HOSTS table /160000 to /16FFFE

-5-
1 BEFORE USE

(3) CPU link module (when used as CV-NETα)

When the CPU link module (Model: LWE020) is used as CV-NETα, the sub-OS will not
automatically be backed up. To back up the sub-OS, specify the extension area address range
so as to include the following addresses.

Name Address
Sub-OS /104000 to /1047FE
/140000 to /15FFFE

(4) BSC module

The sub-OS for the BSC module (LWE430/LWE530) will not automatically be backed up. To
back up the sub-OS, specify the extension area address range so as to include the following
addresses.

Name Address
Sub-OS /105000 to /105FFE

(5) HDLC module

The handler program for the HDLC module (LWE240) will not automatically be backed up.
To back up the handler program, specify the extension area address range so as to include the
following addresses.

Name Address
Handler program /110000 to /111FFE

(6) Inability to back up/restore data between differing models

Files backed up by the S10mini must not be restored into the S10/2α series or vice versa.
Performing a backup/restore operation between different models may cause a malfunction.

-6-
 1 BEFORE USE

(7) Duplication of module setup switch

If a module setup switch is duplicated for optional modules of the same type, the backup/restore
process cannot be guaranteed. To perform a backup/restore operation successfully, check that
the module setup switch is not duplicated.

Regarding the following modules, special care is needed.

① When an F.LINK module(s) and an HDLC module coexist

• If only one F.LINK module (Main) is installed, use No. 1, 2, or 3 as the module setup
switch for the HDLC module.
• If two F.LINK modules (Main and Sub) are installed, use No. 2 or 3 as the module setup
switch for the HDLC module.

② When an external serial link module, RS-232C module, and a BSC module coexist
• The module setup switches must not be duplicated among the external serial link module,
RS-232C module, and BSC module.

③ Others
• When any of the F.LINK module, external serial link module, RS-232C module, and BSC
module is installed, do not use No. 3 as the module setup switch for the external serial link
module, RS-232C module, or BSC module.
