Automatic Backup Functions
You can elect to have RS3 automatically backup your console
configuration and/or your plant configuration through the Console
Configuration screen display or command line options.
Automatic Conso le Config u ration Backup
Automatic console configuration backup assures you that the console
configuration will be backed up automatically in accordance with a
user -established event trigger; and frees you from having to perform the
operation manually.
Automatic console configuration backup triggers the Disk Console Save
operation (Disk Activity screen), on an event basis. You can enable and
disable automatic console configuration backup by toggling between
Enable/Disable on the Console Config field on the Console
Configuration display (see Figure 2.1.6), or by using the ECB (Enable
Console Config Backup) and DCB (Disable Console Config Backup)
command line options, respectively.
Before enabling this function, you need to configure a destination
filename in the Destination File field and select an event type in the
Event Type field. Event type field numbers are from 0 to 240, and the
event selected triggers the automatic backup. Messages are displayed
if the destination filename is not configured or the event type entered is
not valid.
When the specified e vent occurs, a 15-second countdown warning
message is displayed on the Disk Activity screen. After 1 5 seconds, the
Disk Console Save operation is executed internally, saving console
configurations of all types. During the save operation, an in-progress
message is displayed on the Disk Activity screen. You cannot execute
another operation until this operation completes.
If another operation is currently in progress, the console configuration
backup operation is not executed immediately, but is stored in a queue
and executed upon the completion of the current operation.
Note that this capability is automatically turned off upon power up or
reset until the user saves the console configuration with different field
settings for this capability.
Automatic Plant Config u ration Backup
Automatic plant configuration backup assures you that the plant
configuration will be backed up automatically, in accordance with the
backup plant config file and a user-established event trigger; and frees
you from performing the backup manually.
