Does it contain jobs, ladder programm, position variables?
If not how to backup all jobs, ladder, positions and parameter settings?

wow !!!!!
I'm just trying to understand how do you know about cmos and not jobs, ladder, etc. They are shown in the same screen (which by the way, that's the answer to your question)
I was in maintenance mode
I saw there only:
CMOS
SYSTEM CONFIG DATA
EDS FILE SAVE
SYSTEM UPLOAD
You are talking about menu in normal controller runiing mode:
JOB
FILE/GENERAL DATA
PARAMETER
etc.
Can some one answer to question: what does contain CMOS.bin?
For backup all jobs, ladder etc. should I use SAVE all cmos area option??
You need to back up the CMOS.bin file after every major change, like addidng hardware. It contains everything, like an image. This is needed if your CPU cacks out or batteries die. Once restored, you can then boot normally and load the regular day to day files like jobs, IO, etc.
The ALCMS1E.HEX file can be saved from a regular boot like the other files. It is the same as the cmos.bin but in .hex format. ALSO: you need the Yaskawa P/W to load is so it is esentially useless.
