A new Backup mode has been added.

The Eclipse Status window is now enabled all the time. This allows constant access to a new option, F5-Start Backup Mode. When selected, the controller reboots with known IP settings, Network Unit ID and Eclipse Source. Network Unit ID will be configured as unit 1. Eclipse Source will be configured for Ethernet. The Ip Address will be configured as xx.xx.xx.xx. The IP Subnet Mask will be configured as 255.255.255.00. The IP Gateway will be configured as 0.0.0.0. This allows a new backup tool to use Eclipse commands on the ethernet port to backup or restore the controller without changing any settings. While in this mode, the controller boots up into the Eclipse Status window and is not allowed to leave. In addition, the only available function key option changes to F5-End Backup Mode.

When F5-End Backup Mode is selected, the controller will reboot again and will use the original Eclipse communication settings, or any new Eclipse communication settings that were downloaded.

On EtherCAT enabled controllers, while in the backup mode, the ethernet port is configured for Eclipse access. When the backup mode ends, the ethernet port will revert to EtherCAT access.
