Memory Limitations
The newer DIN Rail controller has a much larger storage capacity and a more powerful processor, enabling us
to change the way we store and look up information. Because of the smaller storage and lower processing
power, the PCB Controllers (PRT-CTRL-GX, PRT-CTRL-SE, and PRT-SE-RACK) have certain limitations
imposed when running on a GX system. PCB Controllers require a fixed structure in the database to ensure
efficiency. As DIN Rail Controllers have more power, the fixed structure is no longer required, allowing a dynamic
database (meaning more flexibility and no limitations on particular records).
These limitations are implemented by restricting the number of records each Controller can store:
