Steps to Prepare Memory Card
1
Create and save the project on a standard PC using the ProSoft fdt Configuration
Manager or open an existing project.
2
Download the configuration from the PC to the ILX69-PBM. The configuration is
stored in a non-volatile memory location within the module and will be available after
power up.
3
Insert a formatted SD memory card into the SD card slot of the module.
4
Using the
Store
function in ProSoft fdt Configuration Manager, download the project
into the ILX69-PBM internal flash memory. It will also copy the configuration from the
internal flash memory to the SD memory card if the
Writing to SD Card
box is
checked (default).
The SD memory card will contain the following files:
• STARTUP.INI
• Firmware *.nxf
• Database files
config.nxd (network configuration for PBM)
nwid.nxd (IP address settings)
• Webpages
• Project backup file config.zip
5
Once complete, remove the SD memory card from the module.
Steps to Transfer Files from Memory Card into the ILX69-PBM
Lethal Electrical Shock caused by Parts with more than 50V!
Disconnect the network power (power plug) from the power supply before you disconnect
the module from the backplane.
When you disconnect the PLC module from the power supply module, use end cap
terminators and close the power supply module housing.
Important:
Make sure that there are (valid) firmware or configuration
database (NXD) files on the SD card. Otherwise, overwriting the content of
the internal flash memory will leave no (valid) firmware or configuration
database (NXD) file in the internal flash memory.
1
Insert the prepared SD memory card into the SD card slot of the ILX69-PBM until it
snaps in.
2
Reconnect the power supply module to the network power.
All files from the SD memory card are copied into the non-volatile flash memory of
the ILX69-PBM. For more information, see section Start-up Behavior with or without
SD Card (page 57).
3
For a faster power-up sequence, remove the SD memory card from the ILX69-PBM
since the copy operation is being executed again.
