Set Backplane Type Restores backplane information.
The individual modules (CPU, COM, I/O) are linked to each other over the backplane. The controller
requires this information to be able to conduct hardware tests. If the EEPROM that stores the
backplane information loses its contents, use this menu option to write the backplane type back
into the EEPROM.
You must have Administrator access to be able to set the backplane type.
To set the backplane type, follow these steps.
1. Load a project that is consistent with the connected controller type.
ATTENTION: If you try to write the backplane type of a controller (such as a GuardPLC 1200
controller) with the backplane type of another controller (such as a GuardPLC 2000
controller), the overwritten controller can no longer be used and must be repaired by the
manufacturer.
2. Choose Set Backplane Type.
The backplane type is automatically entered into the dialog box.
3. Change the Backplane Version to 0.
4. Click OK to confirm the change.
