Standard Memory Cards for PLCs

Standard Memory Cards

There are 2 types of standard memory cards:

Saved RAM memory extension cards.
Flash Eprom memory extension cards.

Saved RAM memory extension cards:

Used particularly when generating and debugging an application program. They are used for all application transfer and modification services when online.

The memory is saved by a removable battery integrated in the memory card.

Flash Eprom memory extension cards:

Used when the application program debugging has finished. It allows only a global transfer of the application and avoids the problems associated with battery back-ups.

Note: To enable the creation of animation table in online mode using a Flash Eprom memory card, follow this procedure.

1 click Tools → Project Settings ... 2 in the Build tab, uncheck Animation Table

WARNING

UNEXPECTED APPLICATION BEHAVIOR - PCMCIA CARD PROTECTION

It is essential that any modification of the position of the PCMCIA card write protection switch be performed when the controller is powered down.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

NOTE: Memory capacity: K8 = Kilobytes.

All the PCMCIA cards can be inserted in any processor with the exception of TSX P57 554/5634/6634 processors which do not accept low capacity TSX MRP P 128/224/384/K and TSX MFP P 128/224/384/K cards.

The usable application size is limited to the processor characteristics.
