Issue
Shortly after a successful backup to flash the exclamation point appears again on the controller's icon in the Continuum explorer indicating that a backup to flash is needed.
Environment
- CyberStation
- bCX9640
- bCX4040
- CX9680
- ACX5740
- ACX5720
Cause
- PE program changing configuration attributes.
- A setpoint changes value.
Resolution
Any changes to a configuration attribute will cause the database in the controller to be marked as needing backup up to flash.
Also, if an object is configured as a setpoint, changing its value causes the database to be marked as needing backup to flash.
Find and modify any PE programs that change configuration attributes (i.e. description, format) and/or setpoint values.
