Chapter 1 Store and load a project by using a memory card The memory card allows you to keep a copy of your project on the controller without the need to maintain power to the controller. You can use a memory card to store the contents of the user memory when you store the project. Introduction Important: Remember these guidelines with a memory card. • Changes that you make after you store the project are not reflected in the contents of the memory card.
Chapter 1 Store and load a project by using a memory card Controllers with memory card options These Logix5000 controllers support a memory card for project storage. Controller Type Catalog Number Firmware Revision Supports a 1784-CF128 CompactFlash Card Supports a 1784-SD1 or 1784-SD2 Secure Digital (SD) Card 1768 CompactLogix 1768-L43 15.x or later Yes No 1768-L45 16.x or later 1769-L31 13.
Store and load a project by using a memory card Chapter 1 Prevent a major fault during a load If the major and minor revisions of the project on the memory card do not match the major and minor revision of the controller, a major fault may occur during a load. The memory card stores the firmware for projects for revision 12.0 or later. Depending on the current revision of the controller, you may be able to use the memory card to update the firmware of the controller and load the project.
Chapter 1 Store and load a project by using a memory card If the revision of your project is Then 11.x The CompactFlash card uses a special format. • Use only a Logix5000 controller to store a project on a CompactFlash card. • Store only a single project and no other data on a CompactFlash card. • When you store a project on a CompactFlash card, you overwrite the entire contents of the card. In other words, you lose everything that is currently on the card. ≥ 12.
Store and load a project by using a memory card Chapter 1 Perform firmware updates This table outlines the options and precautions for updating the firmware of a controller that has a memory card. If Then You meet all of these conditions. • The controller has a memory card. Update the firmware by using one of these options. • Memory card • The project on the memory card has a revision ≥ 12.0.
Chapter 1 Store and load a project by using a memory card When to load an image You have several options for when (under what conditions) to load the project into the user memory (RAM) of the controller. If you want to load an image Then choose Notes Whenever you turn on or cycle the chassis power On Power Up • During a power cycle, online changes, tag values, and network schedules that you have not stored on the memory card are lost.
Store and load a project by using a memory card Store a project Chapter 1 This section explains how to store a project on the memory card of the controller. ATTENTION: During a store operation, all active servo axes are turned off. Before you store a project, make sure that this does not cause any unexpected movement of an axis. Before you store the project: • Make all the required edits to the logic. • Download the project to the controller. • Schedule your ControlNet networks.
Chapter 1 Store and load a project by using a memory card Important: At the bottom of the Nonvolatile Memory tab, a message appears if the CompactFlash card or SD card is empty. A message also appears if the SD card is locked. 5. At the bottom of the Nonvolatile Memory tab, select Inhibit Automatic Firmware Update checkbox if you do not want to automatically store an image during a Save or Load operation. 6.
Store and load a project by using a memory card Chapter 1 In the Load Image field, if you choose On Power Up or On Corrupt Memory, you must also choose the Load Mode you want to controller to go to after the load. • Remote Program • Remote Run 7. In the Automatic Firmware Update list, use the default (disable) or choose the appropriate firmware supervisor. For details on the firmware supervisor options, see the ControlLogix System User Manual, publication 1756-UM001. 8. Click <-- Store.
Chapter 1 Store and load a project by using a memory card When the store operation is finished, you remain offline. For procedures on loading and removing the SD card in the card slot, see the ControlLogix System User Manual, publication 1756-UM001. Load a project Follow these steps to use the Logix Designer application to load the project from a memory card. ATTENTION: During a load operation, all active servo axes are turned off.
Store and load a project by using a memory card Chapter 1 2. Did the Connected To Go Online dialog box open? If Then No a. Put the controller in Program mode (Rem Program or Program). b. On the Online toolbar, click the Controller Properties icon. Yes Put the controller in Program mode (Rem Program or Program). You can either: • Click the General tab on the Connected To Go Online dialog box. • Use the keyswitch on the front of the controller. 3.
Chapter 1 Store and load a project by using a memory card 5. At the bottom of the Image in Nonvolatile Memory area, click Load -->. A dialog box asks you to confirm the load. 6. To load the project from the memory card, click Yes. The table describes the events that occur for these memory cards. Logix Designer application goes offline. When the load is finished, you remain offline.
Store and load a project by using a memory card Chapter 1 Figure 1: Load and Update Examples on the Status Display Check for a load When the controller loads a project from a memory card, it: • Logs a minor fault (type 7, code 49). • Sets the FaultLog object, MinorFaultBits attribute, bit 7. If you want your project to flag that it loaded from a memory card, use this logic.
Chapter 1 Store and load a project by using a memory card Clear a memory card Follow these steps to remove a project from a memory card. 1. Go online with the controller. 2. On the Online toolbar, click the Controller Properties icon. Tip: For 1756-L7x controllers only, Energy Storage instead of Battery OK appears adjacent to the controller properties icon. See the ControlLogix System User Manual, publication 1756-UM001, for information on the Energy Storage Module. 3.

If using This happens during the store operation CompactFlashCard • On the front of the controller, the OK status indicator displays the following sequence: flashing green> solid red> solid green. • Logix Designer application goes offline. • A dialog box indicates the store is in progress.
Chapter 2 Use a memory card reader Introduction A sample controller project that reads and writes a memory card is available with the Logix Designer application. In the application, from the Help menu, choose Vendor Sample Projects to display a list of available sample projects. Change which project loads A memory card can store multiple projects. By default, the controller loads the project that you most recently stored, according to the load options of that project.
Chapter 2 Use a memory card reader Change the load parameters When you store a project to a memory card, you define: • When to load the project (On Power Up, On Corrupt Memory, User Initiated). • What mode to set the controller (if the keyswitch is in REM and the Load mode is not User Initiated). To assign a project to load from the memory card, edit the Load.xml file on the card by following the steps that match the numbers in the illustration.
Use a memory card reader Chapter 2 Edit the Load Mode option of the project (does not apply if the Load Image option is User Initiated). Other uses for a memory card To set the Load Mode option to: Then enter: Program (Remote Only) PROGRAM Run (Remote Only) RUN For these controllers, you can use the memory card to store data and controller projects.
