CompactFlash cards for users:
● The SINUMERIK CNC supports the file systems FAT16 and FAT32 for
CompactFlash cards. You may need to format the memory card if you want to use a
memory card from another device or if you want to ensure the compatibility of the
memory card with the SINUMERIK. However, formatting the memory card will
permanently delete all data on it.
● Do not remove the memory card while it is being accessed. This can lead to damage of
the memory card and the SINUMERIK as well as the data on the memory card.
● If you cannot use a memory card with the SINUMERIK, it is probably because the
memory card is not formatted for the control system (e.g. Ext3 Linux file system), the
memory card file system is faulty or it is the wrong type of memory card.
● Insert the memory card carefully with the correct orientation into the memory card slot
(take note of arrows, etc.). This way you avoid mechanical damage to the memory card or
the device.
● Only use memory cards that have been approved by Siemens for use with SINUMERIK.
Even though the SINUMERIK keeps to the general industry standards for memory cards,
it is possible that memory cards from some manufacturers will not function perfectly in
this device or are not completely compatible with it (you can obtain information on
compatibility from the memory card manufacturer or supplier).
● The CompactFlash card from SanDisk "CompactFlash® 5000 Industrial Grade" has been
approved for SINUMERIK (Order Number 6FC5313-5AG00-0AA0).
