LS 120 Drive (Depending on Device Configuration)

The SIMATIC Box PC 620 can be equipped with an LS 120 drive as an alternative
to a floppy disk drive.
Larger volumes of data can be stored on LS 120 data carriers than on a
1.44 MB floppy disk drive. The LS 120 has the following features:
– The LS 120 is compatible with a 1.44 MB floppy disk drive,
i.e. 1.44 MByte disks can also be processed.
– An LS 120 data carrier has a maximum data volume of 120 MBytes.
– The LS 120 is connected via an ATAPI (IDE) port.
Handling Disks with the LS 120 Drive
Depending on the fitting position, the disks are inserted into the disk drive as illu-
strated below:

When the LS 120 drive is being accessed, the access indicator light is lit.
Emergency ejection is carried out in the same way with the LS120 as in the
CD-ROM drive. See Section 3.4.4. for details.
Caution
!
Risk of loss of data!
When the green access LED of the LS 120 drive is lit, the ejector may not be
actuated.
LS 120 drives are very sensitive to shocks of a non-permissible level. Shocks
during operation can lead to damage to the drive or the data carrier. You can find
the permissible values in the technical data in Section 7.1.
