Note:
Please notice the definition of Input/Output modules and do not
confuse them with the input and output area of the ILX69-PBS in the
controller memory map.
Inputs and Outputs modules are always defined from viewpoint of the
PROFIBUS master. If you configure an Output module, you will see this in
the input area of the ILX69-PBS, because the input area of the controller
memory map is the output area from point of view of a PROFIBUS master.
The same applies to an Input module. If you define an Input module, it is
mapped in the output area of the controller memory map, because the
output area of the ILX69-PBS is the input area from viewpoint of a
PROFIBUS master.
The sample ladder and AOI can also be used as an example for a module configuration by
the controller application. You only have to set the "ForceUserConfiguration" parameter from
0 to 1 in the configuration array. Section Studio 5000 Example Program explains the pre-
defined configuration parameter of the sample ladder/AOI.

SD Card
5.3.1 Start-up Behavior with or without SD Card
The start-up behavior of the ILX69-PBS depends on whether an SD memory card is inserted
in the module or not.
Start-up without Memory Card
On power-up, the ILX69-PBS and the firmware are started and the configuration data is
loaded from the CompactLogix processor using the Local:x:C.Data array into the ILX69-PBS
internal flash memory. Depending on the amount of stored configuration data, this can last
for approximately 4 seconds.
Start-up with Memory Card
The ILX69-PBS supports firmware upgrade utilizing an optional SD card. Contact ProSoft
technical support to obtain this firmware image. Firmware can also be loaded via the ILX69-
PBS webpage. Configuration of the module is always obtained from the Local:x:C.Data
array from the CompactLogix processor.
On power-up, the firmware data are restored from the SD memory card flash image into the
ILX69-PBS internal flash memory only when the ILX69-PBS is not connected over the
backplane to a CompactLogix processor. The following is the power-up sequence:
