Erasing/formatting the Micro Memory Card

Note

The Micro Memory Card is always delivered formatted!

In order to guarantee error-free functioning of the Micro Memory Card in the

C230-2, the card cannot be repartioned.

Using Windows tools to change or delete files on the Micro Memory Card that

were written with Copy RAM to ROM could result in the destruction of the project.

During formatting, a stored license key is also deleted. This will subsequently have

to be re-entered via SIMOTION SCOUT.

You have the following options for formatting the Micro Memory Card:

S Format the Micro Memory Card in an operation at the mode selector of the

C230-2.

S Format the Micro Memory Card on the PG/PC with Windows functions.

When formatting the Micro Memory Card with the mode selector, proceed as fol-

lows:

1. Switch off the power supply for the C230-2.

2. Insert the Micro Memory Card into the C230-2.

3. Turn the key on the mode selector to the MRES position. Hold the key in this

position and switch on the power supply for the C230-2. While formatting, the

"STOPU" LED flickers. When the "STOP" LED is steadily lit, turn the key back

to the STOP position.

When formatting the Micro Memory Card on the PC/PG, proceed as follows:

1. Insert the Micro Memory Card in the slot of the MMC adapter.

2. Open the Windows Explorer.

Note

The Micro Memory Card must be displayed as a drive with an arbitrary letter in

the Windows Explorer.

3. Select the drive. Select the option Formatting with the right mouse button.

Note

As of Kernel version 2.1 in the C230-2, and the Micro Memory Card

6AU1 700-0AA01-0AA0, when the Micro Memory Card is being formatted, the

C230-2 transfers its stored Kernel to the Micro Memory Card. If a particular Kernel

version is required, it will have to be placed manually on the Micro Memory Card.
