Properties of the CompactFlash card

CompactFlash card
The CompactFlash card is mandatory for operation of the control unit.
The SIMOTION kernel and the software used to control the drives (SINAMICS firmware) are
contained on the CompactFlash card. The device diagnostics (SIMOTION SCOUT) is used
to read out and display the version information (serial number, version, type designation)
from the card. The licenses for the technology objects are linked to the serial number of the
CompactFlash card. Thus, the CompactFlash card can be inserted in another control unit
without requiring a license change.
The CompactFlash card is supplied in a bootable format with the latest SIMOTION kernel
and drive software. It is not supplied with the control unit and must be ordered as a separate
component. The CompactFlash card is also used to store technology packages and user
data (programs, configuration data, parameter assignments).
The CompactFlash card is inserted in the CF plug-in slot (X109 interface).
Caution
The CompactFlash card may only be inserted or removed when the control unit is
disconnected from the power supply.
