14. MEMORY CARD

14.1. Principle of Operation

The memory card allows you to upgrade the 
firmware or software of your controller with-
out loosing your parameter settings (firmware 
and/or software upgrade). The card can also 
be used to make a backup of your controller 
settings or to copy these settings on another 
controller of the same type.

Cover

Front Panel

Various kind of files can be stored on the card: 
configuration files (*.cfg files) and/or firmware 
files  (*.fir  and  *.bin  files).  Refer  to  section 
14.3 to load or save a configuration file; refer 
to section 14.4 to upgrade the firmware.

14.2. Accessing the Transfer 

Menu

1. Unscrew the screws located on the control-
ler’s front panel then open the panel.

2. Insert the memory card in the connector 
located on the electronic board located on the 
back of the front panel (see illustration).

3. Close the front panel then simultaneously 
press the up- and down-arrow keys for 3 sec-
onds to display the transfer menu. 

4. Select the desired transfer menu:

  Main menu 

  Memory Card 

  Controller 

or

  Controller 

  Memory Card

14.3. Configuration Transfer
Configuration Files (*.cfg)

Configuration files are a set of instructions 
that  tells  the  controller  what  to  do.  These 
files are divided into three parts:

1)  Software (screen menus)
2)  User data (parameter settings)
3)  Potentiometer calibration

You can save your controller’s configuration 
on the card or you can install a new configura-
tion into your controller. Note that it is now 
possible to install a specific component of the 
configuration without affecting the two other 
components. For instance, you can upload 
new  controller  software  without  affecting 
your calibration & parameter settings.

14.3.1. Installing a New Configura-
tion

The  following  procedure  shows  how  to  in-
stall a new configuration in your controller. 
You  can  choose  to  install  the  whole  new 
configuration or to install a specific compo-
nent of it.

1. Access the transfer menu as explained in 
section 14.2 and select the

 “Memory card to 

controller”

 menu.

2. Select the proper configuration file  (*.cfg) 
on  the  main  screen.  The    icon  indicates 
which files can be used for the transfer. 

3. Press  the  button  that  corresponds  to  the 
component(s) you want to install: 

 

  Complete (all components)

 

  Software (screen menus)

 

  User data (parameter settings)

 

  Pot. Calib (inlet calib. settings)

4. Once the transfer is over, press Exit then 
remove the memory card from the connector. 

14.3.2. Saving a Configuration on 
the Card

The  following  procedure  shows  how  to 
save your controller’s configuration into the 
memory card. This will create a configuration 
file (*.cfg) on the card. 

1. Access  the  transfer  menu  as  explained 
in section 14.2 and select the 

“Controller to 

Memory card”

 menu. 

2. The name of the configuration file (*.cfg) is 
shown at the top of the screen and the table 
at  the  bottom  gives  information  about  the 
memory card.  Press 

“Complete”

 to save your 

controller’s configuration on the card.
