CompactFlash Card
The CompactFlash Card contains the following data:
● SIMOTION kernel
● Technology packages (TP)
● User data (units, configuration data, parameters, task configuration)
● IP parameters (IP address, subnet mask, router address)
● DP parameters (PROFIBUS DP address, baud rate)
2.5.3 Operator actions and their impact on user memory
The next section describes the user actions identified in the "SIMOTION D410 memory
model" by arrows and their impact on user memory.
Download SIMOTION SCOUT
The "Download" command transfers the following data from the Engineering System to the
"volatile data" area:
● User data (units, configuration data, parameters, task configuration)
● Technology packages
The IP and DP parameters are furthermore saved to the "non-volatile data" area. The retain
variables are initialized with their start values. This however, depends on the settings in
SIMOTION SCOUT. Volatile data is lost if you shut down the SIMOTION D410 module after
the download.
Copy RAM to ROM
The "Copy RAM to ROM" command is used on the ES to save the following data to the
CompactFlash Card:
● Technology packages and user data (units, configuration data, parameters, task
configuration) of the "volatile data" area
● Actual values are copied to the "volatile data" area, depending on the settings in
SIMOTION SCOUT
Note
The "Copy RAM to ROM" command does not save the actual values of the retain
variables to the CompactFlash Card:
