7.1.2 Using the IC Memory Card
The IC memory card is available as an optional memory for the FP2−C2P/FP2−C3P.
(It cannot be used with the FP2−C2.)
IC memory cards can be used for two types of applications: saving programs and ex-
panding the data memory area. Also, a single IC memory card can be used in the
following three ways:
Only for saving programs
Only for expanding the data memory area
For both saving programs and expanding the data memory area
Using the Card to Save Programs
Sequence programs can be written to IC memory cards and saved on them. The IC
memory card with the program written to it is then used as a program memory.
If the FPWIN GR or a similar tool is used to change the file name to "Autoexec.spg", as
an auto run file, and the file is copied or the program is transferred, and if the DIP
switches on the CPU are set so that SW2 and SW4 are both on, the program can be
automatically transferred to the RAM at the same time that the power supply is turned
on.
If the F14 (PRGRD) instruction is executed in the RUN mode, a program can be substi-
tuted for another program in any desired file.
If an SRAM type of IC memory card is being used, the "ROM & RAM service" in the
FPWIN GR can be used to copy the contents of the RAM in the CPU to the IC memory
card.
If the card is being used as a program memory, there are four ways to read programs
from the card, described below:
Programs can be automatically read when the power supply is turned on.
Programs can be read using the "ROM & RAM service" menu on the FPWIN GR.
Programs can be read using the "Upload Program from IC Card..." menu on the FPWIN
GR.
The F14 (PRGRD) instruction of the sequence program can be used to read programs.
