5.5.3 Project File Backup and SD Card Handling
Using an SD memory card makes it possible to load the same configuration (plus firmware
and web pages) into multiple ILX69-PBM modules without using a PC. The memory card
must be prepared by a PC beforehand.
Restoring a configuration from an SD card can only be done when there is no backplane
communications between the ILX69-PBM and CompactLogix processor. Make sure that the
CompactLogix processor is disconnected from the power supply in order to restore a
configuration from the SD card.
Safety Precautions for the ILX69-PBM Installation
Obey to the following safety messages on personal injury when powering a disconnected
PLC power supply.
Lethal Electrical Shock caused by Parts with more than 50V!
 HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE is present inside of a powered PLC power supply module. The
danger of a lethal electrical shock caused by parts with more than 50V may occur if you
power a PLC power supply module when its housing is open.
 Strictly obey to all safety rules provided by the device manufacturer in the documentation.
 Disconnect the network power (power plug) from the power supply before you disconnect
the module from the backplane.
 When you disconnect the PLC module from the power supply module, use end cap
terminators and close the power supply module housing.
SD Memory Card
Prerequisite for Memory Cards
 Maximum capacity of 4 GByte.
 The memory card must be formatted in FAT format. The FAT12/16/32 formats are
supported. The exFAT format is not supported.
 Memory cards of the type SD card (SD and SDHC both with SPI) can be used.
Steps to Prepare Memory Card
1 Create and save the project on a standard PC using the ProSoft fdt Configuration
Manager or open an existing project.
2 Download the configuration from the PC to the ILX69-PBM. The configuration is stored
in a non-volatile memory location within the module and will be available after power up.
3 Insert a formatted SD memory card into the SD card slot of the module.
