Using the memory card

Description
The STARTER commissioning tool is used to store configuration data centrally on the
CompactFlash card. This ensures that if the Control Unit is defective, it can be simply
replaced without the loss of any data. It also enables data to be stored on external storage
media.
The data on the CompactFlash card can also be accessed using a CompactFlash card
reader connected to a PC. This card reader is not included in the scope of supply.
