In MCGS, create a "Backup" button on a hidden maintenance screen that triggers a script to copy the project to USB. Teach operators to use it after major configuration changes.
A food packaging plant lost an MCGS 7072GT during a brownout. The replacement unit took three days to be delivered, but the backup project file was last saved 18 months prior. Operators spent a full week reconfiguring 600+ tags and 40 alarm messages. Production losses exceeded $50,000.
: Power on the HMI and enter the calibration or setup screen (usually by holding a finger on the screen during startup or pressing a hidden button, depending on the model).
: Create system images that capture the entire state of the HMI system, including the operating system, software applications, and settings. This allows for rapid system recovery in case of a catastrophic failure.
To back up an MCGS HMI project, you can either transfer the project directly to a computer using the software or export it to a USB flash drive . Option 1: Backup via PC (Software Upload)
