Writing, formatting and erasing the Micro Memory Card
Writing the micro memory card of SIMOTION C
You can write to the micro memory card as follows:
● Micro memory card is inserted in the SIMOTION C and is written with the "Copy RAM to
ROM" menu command (there must be a connection between the programming device
and SIMOTION C).
You can store the technology packages and user data (programs, configuration data,
parameter assignments) on the micro memory card (see
SIMOTION SCOUT online help).
● Write to the micro memory card on the PG or PC.
You can write to the micro memory card directly via a PC using a suitable memory card
adapter.
This function is required for updating the SIMOTION C.
You can write the user project with SIMOTION SCOUT and the menu command "Load to file
system" directly from the PC to the memory card (micro memory card). To do this, select the
device in the project navigator and execute the "Load to file system" command in the context
menu.
Note the following information when handling a micro memory card.
Note
The micro memory card always comes formatted! With the C240 / C240 PN, the SIMOTION
Kernel is located on the micro memory card.
In order to ensure error-free functioning of the micro memory card in the SIMOTION C, the
card must not be repartitioned.
Using Windows media to modify or delete files on the micro memory card that were written
with "Copy RAM to ROM" can destroy the project.
With the C230-2, the following information must also be noted.
Note
The micro memory card for the C230-2 can only be formatted in the "SIMOTION SCOUT"
engineering system.
As of Kernel Version 3.1, you will no longer be able to format the micro memory card by
means of the C230-2 mode selector.
The card must not be formatted with the PC.
Any saved license keys are also deleted during formatting. The license key must then be
reentered via SIMOTION SCOUT.
