Green

The memory card is inserted and ready for opera‐

In this state, the device can either write data

to the memory card or read data on the card.

If the LED lights up, however, this does not

indicate that the device is accessing the

card!

The memory card is inserted.

However, the device cannot read data on the

memory card.
Possible causes:

The memory card does not contain any data

The content is not readable

The memory card is defective

A function is started with SOPAS ET which

requires a memory card for writing. However, the

memory card is not connected.

Prerequisite: In SOPAS ET, the “SD card required” function has been activated under the
“Service” user level.

3.3 Memory card (optional accessory)

The device can execute the following functions on the plug-in microSD memory

card:

Cloning function: If a MicroSD memory card is present, the device automati‐

cally saves its internal parameter set on the memory card as well. This pro‐

cedure is carried out in the framework of the recommended storing concept

for the device parameter sets. Storing the internal parameter set with the

“permanent” option triggers the cloning function. The function is used,

among other things, to conveniently transfer the parameter set to an

replacement device of the same type in the event of a fault.

Data logging: The device continuously records read diagnosis data after the

first manual start, e.g. via SOPAS ET. If the function is permanently set, the

device automatically resumes recording after a restart.

Alternatively, with 4Dpro sensors , the optional CMC600 parameter memory

module can also be used as an external storage medium for the cloning

function. The parameter memory module can be used in the optional con‐

nection module, e.g. CDB650-204 or CDM420-0006. If the device is con‐

nected to a data bus via the bus connection module CDF600-2xxx, an exter‐

nal storage medium is also available.

NOTE

Recommendation:

Use an empty memory card to save a parameter set for the first time. If nec‐

essary, check the contents of the card on the computer using a card reader

and delete if necessary.
