Cloning a Controller

Introduction

The clone function allows you to upload the application from one controller and to download it only to a same controller reference.

This function clones every parameter of the controller (for example applications, firmware, data file, post configuration, remanent variables). Refer to Memory Mapping.

Cloning the controller is possible by:

  • Using an SD Card with a compatible script file

  • Using the FB_ControlClone

  • Using the Controller Assistant

When using an SD card, you can also copy the controller firmware and user access rights to the target controller.

NOTE: User access rights can only be copied with an SD Card if the Include User Rights button has previously been clicked on the Maintenance > User Management > Clone Management subpage of the Web server.
