13.2 Memory media of the SIMOTION devices
Storing on storage media
The online project consisting of the technology package and the user data is saved to a non-
volatile storage medium. The storage medium varies depending on the SIMOTION platform.
● SIMOTION C: Micro memory card
● SIMOTION P: Virtual memory card
Handling and functionality correspond to the micro memory card of the SIMOTION C.
● SIMOTION P: CompactFlash card
● SIMOTION D: CompactFlash card
Note
The memory card must not be inserted or removed during operation. Removing the card
in operating state triggers an overall reset, which results in the loss of stored data.

Retentive data
Retentive data (non-volatile data) is saved to a non-volatile memory in the SIMOTION device.
Depending on the SIMOTION device involved, this non-volatile memory buffers the data
permanently (e.g. NVRAM for D410-2, D4x5-2).
You can also back up the non-volatile data to a memory card (e.g. CF or MMC) to protect data
in the event of a spare part failing.
Use the _savePersistentMemoryData system function to back up the non-volatile data to the
memory card.
In the event of a buffer failure or module replacement, the data is automatically restored at the
time of ramping up.
