8.5 Saving and Restoring a Database
Background
If it ever became necessary to replace a damaged transmitter with a
spare, you could save the configuration database from the damaged
transmitter to the HOLD memory in the SFC and then restore the saved
configuration database from the HOLD memory in the spare transmitter.
In fact, you could restore the saved configuration database in any
number of transmitters as long as you change the tag number (ID) in the
restored database.
NOTE: The configuration data for the optional Local Smart Meter is
stored in a memory located on the transmitter’s PWA. If a database
save and restore is done with the SFC, then the meter configuration is
restored along with the transmitter configuration.
Figure 50 shows a graphical summation of the save and restore database
function.
