Mounting/Removing PCMCIA Memory Extension Cards on a TSX P57/TSX H57 Processor

Introduction

The installation of the PCMCIA memory card on the TSX P57 processor module requires a clip or a caddy in the case of TSX P57 5•4/TSX H57•4 processors.

Position of the PCMCIA Cards in the Processors

The following table describes the possible slots for the different types of PCMCIA cards in the PLC processors:

PCMCIA card	Slot A (top)	Slot B (bottom)
Standard: TSX MRPP• and MFPP•	Yes	No
Application and Files: TSX MRPC• and MCPC•	Yes	No
Data or Files: TSX MRPF•	Yes	Yes

Mounting of the Card in the Clip

For TSX P57 1•4 to TSX P57 4•4 Premium PLCs, the memory cards (*) are mounted in the clip as follows:

Step	Action	Illustration
1	Place the end of the memory card (opposite end to the connector) between the arms of the clip. The markers (in the form of a triangle) on both the clip and the card label must be facing same way.
2	Slide the memory card into the clip until it stops. The card is now firmly attached to the clip.

(*) Note: This mounting procedure is only for TSX MRPF• data or file-type cards. See mounting procedure below.

Mounting of the TSX MRP F• Card in the Extractor

For TSX P57 1•4 to TSX P57 4•4 Premium PLCs, the TSX MRP F• memory cards inserted in slot B (bottom) are mounted in the extractor as follows:

Step	Action	Illustration Card with a PV ≤ 03 (1)	Illustration Card with a PV > 03 (1)
1	Guide the memory card into the extractor from an oblique angle, placing the 2 pins on the card into the 2 grooves on the extractor.
2	Swivel the extractor on the card until it is fully locked.

Mounting of the Card in the Caddy for TSX P 57 5•4/TSX H57•4

The following steps are to be performed regardless of the card type:

Step	Action	Illustration Card with a PV ≤ 03 (1)	Illustration Card with a PV > 03 (1)
1	Guide the memory card into the caddy from an oblique angle using the 2 locating devices.
2	Slide the memory card into the caddy until it stops. The card is now firmly attached to the caddy.

NOTE: For the upper caddy (slot A), the metallic contact has been removed.

Mounting of the Memory Card in the PLC

Carry out the following steps to install the memory card into the processor:

Step	Action
1	Remove the protective cover by unlocking it and then pulling it forwards out of the PLC.
2	Place the PCMCIA card fitted with its clip (or caddy) into the opened slot. Slide the card-clip assembly in until the card can go no further, then press the clip (or the caddy) to connect the card.

Example: position of the card in slot A for TSX 57 1•4 to 4•4.

NOTE: For TSX 57 1•4\2•4\3•4\4•4 processors, check that the mechanical locating devices are positioned correctly:

1 edge on top,
2 edges at the bottom.

For TSX 57 5•4/TSX H57 •4M processors, two guides ensure that the PCMCIA card is correctly positioned in its slot.

NOTE: If the program contained in the PCMCIA memory card contains the RUN AUTO option, the processor will automatically restart in RUN mode after the card has been inserted.
