Description
This command stores all of the RMC controller data to Flash memory for storage in case
of power loss. While a Flash update is in progress, the green CPU LED will flash. The RMC
will continue to control motion as usual during a Flash update.
For RMCs with firmware prior to 3.30.0, if power is lost during a Flash update, all the data
in the RMC may be lost.
Note:
You must Update Flash in order to save controller data, or it will be lost when or power is
removed from the RMC!
Updating Flash from RMCTools
You can update Flash directly from RMCTools without using this command. See the
Updating Flash topic for details. You may also be prompted to save to Flash when the
controller is warm restarted after changing certain controller data.
Special Note
The Flash memory chips on the RMC75S and RMC75P are limited 100,000 update cycles.
The RMC75E and RMC150E are limited to 1 million update cycles. Due to these limits, you
should take care to program the RMC so that this limit will not be exceeded during the life
of the controller.
