Introduction

You can use a BMXRMS004GPF memory card with this module to facilitate some services.

NOTE: The BMXRMS004GPF memory card is an optional purchase. It is not shipped with the module.

Location

The slot for the secure digital (SD) memory card (BMXRMS004GPF) is on the front of the module.

The insertion of the SD card during module operations is not recommended. In this case, the module may not recognize the card.

Card Functionality

This table describes the functionality of the BMXRMS004GPF memory card when inserted into the module:

SD Memory Card

Data Storage

Functionality

BMXRMS004GPF

4 GB

Storage of data logging files (.csv)

LED Indicators

An LED is associated with the memory card slot. It displays the status of data exchange with the card:
  • on: The SD card is available and recognized.

  • off: The SD card is not available or the data logging feature is not enabled.

Card Services

The memory card needs a structure to contain program and data. Formatting with another tool destroys this structure.

Some services do not operate properly when the memory card is write-protected.

Precautions

In some countries, the postal service exposes mail to high levels of radiation as a security measure. These high levels of radiation may erase the contents of the memory card and render it unusable.

Without SD Memory Card

If the memory card slot is empty during the power-up, the module can operate normally without the data logging service.
