Introduction

Chapter 1

Store and Load a Project 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.

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.

• If you make changes to the project but do not store those changes, you overwrite them when you load the project from a memory card. If this occurs, you have to upload or download the project to go online.

• If you want to store changes, such as online edits, tag values, or a ControlNet network schedule, store the project after you make the changes.

If a computer loses power and does not have enough energy capacity, it loses the project in user memory. When this occurs, y ou can load the copy from the memory card to the user memory of the controller:

• Whenever it powers up.

• Whenever there is no project in the controller and it powers up.

• Anytime through the Logix Designer application.

A store or load operation from a memory card has these parameters.

Parameter Store and Load

How much time does a store or load operation take? Less than three minutes What controller mode do I use to store or load a project? Program mode

Can I go online with the controller during a store or load? No What is the state of the I/O during a store or load? I/O remains in its configured state for Program mode

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.

Read/Write Card Data

CompactFlash Card

Formatting

Sample ladder logic code for the Logix Designer applications are available for using your file system on a Logix5000 controller to read and write data

on a memory card. These are the files you need:

• CF_Read_Write.ACD

• CF_Read_Write_Example.ACD

• Logix-AP007B-EN-P.pdf

To access these files, see

http://samplecode.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/public/documents/we bassets/sc_home_page.hcst.

The Logix Designer 1784-CF128 CompactFlash card does not have to be formatted to store controller information.

If the revision of your project is

11.x

≥ 12.0

Then

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 C ompa ctFl ash card, you overwrite the entire contents of the card. In

other words, you lose everything that is currently on the card.

The CompactFlash card uses the FAT16 file system.

If the card Then the controller

Is already formatted for the FAT16 file system.

The CompactFlash card using the FAT16 file system:

• Stores multiple projects and associated firmware.

• If a card already contains a project with same name, a store overwrites the project on the

CompactFlash card.

• Loads the most recently stored project. With a revision ≥ 12.0, you can also use a card reader to read and manipulate the files on a memory

card. See "Use a Memory Card Reader on page 29

• Creates folders and files for the project and firmware.

• ControlFLASH™ software (See the Important: note on the next page)

Follow this procedure to update the firmware and load the project by using the memory card.

1. Install the card in the controller.

2. If the Load Image option = On Corrupt Memory and the controller contains a project, before powering down, disconnect the battery or disengage the Energy Storage Module (ESM) from the controller.

3. Turn on or cycle power to the controller.

Follow this procedure if you use the Logix Designer application or ControlFLASH software to update the firmware.

1. Load Image option of the memory card to User Initiated during the update.

2. After the firmware update is completed, store the project to the memory card. This ensures that the revision of the project on the memory card matches the revision of the controller.

Store and Load a Project Using a Memory Card

Check for a Load

Figure 1: Load and Update Examples on the Status Display

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.

On the first scan of the project (S:FS is on), the GSV instruction gets the FaultLog object, MinorFaultBits attribute, and stores the value in minor_fault_bits. If bit 7 is on, the controller loaded the project from its memory card.

Chapter 2

Use a Memory Card Reader

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.

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.

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.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-PM017H-EN-P - February 2018 29

To change the project that loads from the card, use a text editor to open the Load.xml file.

Edit the name of the project that you want to load.

• Use the name of an XML file that is in the CurrentApp folder.

• In the CurrentApp folder, a project is comprised of an XML file and a

P5K file.

Chapter 2

Use a Memory Card Reader

Change the Load

When you store a project to a memory card, you define:

Parameters

• 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.

30 Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-PM017H-EN-P - February 2018

Description

To change the load parameters for a project, use a text editor to open the XML file with the same name as the project.

Edit the Load Image option of the project.

To set the Load Image option to: Then enter:

On Power Up ALWAYS On Corrupt Memory CORRUPT_RAM User Initiated USER_INITIATED

Edit the Load Mode option of the project (does not apply if the Load Image option is User Initiated).

To set the Load Mode option to: Then enter:

Chapter 2

Other Uses for a

Memory Card

For these controllers, you can use the memory card to store data and controller projects.

• 1756 ControlLogix controllers, revision 13 and later

• 1756-L7x ControlLogix controllers, firmware revision 18 and later

• 1756 GuardLogix controllers, revision 18 and later

• 1769-L32E CompactLogix controllers, serial number SS0QZ000 and

later

• 1769-L35E CompactLogix controllers, serial number SS0OR9GE

and later

• CompactLogix 5370 controllers, revision 20 and later

Observe these examples:

• A PanelView terminal changes tag values in a controller project. If a

controller loses power, and is not battery backed up, it loses the program running in the controller and the values changed by the PanelView terminal. Use the memory card and logic in the project to store tag values as they change. When the project reloads from the memory card, it can check the memory card for any saved tag values and reload those into the project.

• Store a collection of recipes on the memory card. To change a recipe,

program the controller to read data for the new recipe from a memory card.

• Program the controller to write data logs at specific time intervals.

You can also use a memory card reader to read and write memory cards. This method writes tag values in binary. You can read the data with any text editor, but the data displays as the ASCII equivalent of the binary data.

For more information, see the sample projects available with the Logix Designer application. In the application, from the Help menu, choose Vendor Sample Projects to display a list of sample projects.
