Slot for the memory card

A memory card is needed in the following cases:
1. Saving parameters
Parameters are saved on the memory card and can simply be copied onto the new
CU305 if the component needs to be replaced.
2. Firmware update
It is easy to perform a firmware update using a memory card.
3. License carrier
The license is stored on the memory card.
Note
The CU305 can be operated without the memory card. The memory card only needs to
be inserted into the CU305 because it is the license carrier for the Safety functions.
