The main uses of the SD card are:
oDownloading a new application to the controller without using EcoStruxure Machine Expert software.
oUpdating the controller firmware
oCloning the controller application or firmware
oApplying post configuration changes to the controller (for example, changing IP addresses or serial line configuration)
oApplying recipe files
oRetrieving data logging files
The SD card file system is FAT32. SD card files can therefore be used directly on your computer.
When handling the SD card, follow the instructions below to help prevent internal data on the SD card from being corrupted or lost or an SD card malfunction from occurring:
|
NOTICE |
|
LOSS OF APPLICATION DATA |
|
oDo not store the SD card where there is static electricity or probable electromagnetic fields. oDo not store the SD card in direct sunlight, near a heater, or other locations where high temperatures can occur. oDo not bend the SD card. oDo not drop or strike the SD card against another object. oKeep the SD card dry. oDo not touch the SD card connectors. oDo not disassemble or modify the SD card. oUse only SD cards formatted using FAT or FAT32. |
|
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage. |
The M262 Logic/Motion Controller does not recognize NTFS formatted SD cards. Format the SD card on your computer using FAT or FAT32.
When using the M262 Logic/Motion Controller and an SD card, observe the following to avoid losing valuable data:
oAccidental data loss can occur at any time. Once data is lost it cannot be recovered.
oIf you forcibly extract the SD card, data on the SD card may become corrupted.
oRemoving an SD card that is being accessed (SD LED flashing yellow) could damage the SD card, or corrupt its data.
oIf the SD card is not positioned correctly when inserted into the controller, the data on the card and the controller could become damaged.
|
NOTICE |
|
LOSS OF APPLICATION DATA |
|
oBackup SD card data regularly. oDo not remove power or reset the controller, and do not insert or remove the SD card while it is being accessed. |
|
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage. |
