latches, min/max data.

Turns off digital outputs.

Sets analog outputs to zero scale (0 counts).

Reset Configuration to Defaults and Reset: Erases the configuration from flash memory (see 
above), restarts the controller, and resets points to defaults.

microSD Card. 

The following commands are available:

Store Configuration to microSD card

Erase Configuration from microSD card

Erase Firmware from microSD card

Erase Strategy microSD card

Copy microSD card to Flash 

IMPORTANT: Before using the microSD card in your controller, make sure to read the section “Using the 
MicroSD Card” in chapter 3 of form 1592, the SNAP PAC S-Series User’s Guide.

To manage a strategy or configuration in memory:

1.

In PAC Redundancy Manager, under Tasks & Tools > Controller Management, click Manage 
Memory.

2.

Under Controller, select the controller to manage.

3.

Under Memory Commands, select a command.
