Transferring Data with Memory Cards

Using a Memory Card with the PT allows system programs (programs that are required to
operate the PT, such as those for communications and fonts) and screen data to be trans-
ferred to and from the PT.
There are two ways to transfer the data. The data can be transferred using the system menu
or by setting the DIP Switch on the back of the NS-series PT.
When screen data is transferred and modified frequently, it is convenient to transfer the data
from the System Menu. Use the DIP Switch on the back of the PT instead of the screen op-
eration to save screen data when the display screen is damaged. For details on the System
Menu's Memory Card Transfer operation, refer to 6-8-9 Memory Card Transfers.
This manual focuses on the PT's rear-panel DIP switch settings. Three data-transfer opera-
tions can be set on the DIP switch: automatic download (transfers data from the Memory
Card to the PT), automatic upload (transfers data from the PT to the Memory Card), or man-
ual transfer (user selects whether to download or upload).
• Before transferring data, check that the system programs and screen data
Precautions
for Safe Use
• Always reset the PT or turn ON the power again after changing the DIP
• Do not perform the following operations while accessing the Memory Card.
• Do not remove the Memory Card while power is being supplied to it.
If the PT system is damaged due to the power being turned OFF while a file is being written,
or other reason, using normal downloading to replace the system programs may not be pos-
sible. For details on troubleshooting, refer to page 3-27.
Data Transfer Security
With NS-series PTs with system program version 6.6 or higher, verification of a security
password can be required to transfer data. This password can be used to prevent the project
data from being stolen from the PT or overwritten in the PT.
The security password is set from the CX-Designer. Refer to information on transferring the
project to the PT in the online help of the CX-Designer for the setting procedure.
DIP Switch
The Memory Card can be divided into up to four areas, which are called banks. The DIP
switch on the rear panel of the PT has six pins. The ON/OFF combination of these pins
specifies which transfer method is used.
There are two DIP switches on the NS15-TX01@-V2, one for transferring data to
