I was wondering how do you back up a program off a SLC500 and keep all the rung comments and descripters?

thanks
 
In a SLC, rung comments, symbols, and address descriptions are stored offline. You must have them to start with, or create them and save them to a file on your hard drive.

When you are "online" with a SLC500, you can simply do a file save and you will be prompted to upload all data tables and if you answer yes, you will a snapshot of everything saved with the comments to the file in the configured path on the PC.
