Working with the memory card

This chapter describes the basic functions of the memory card for SINAMICS S110.
Switching on the CU305 with the memory card inserted
Depending on the data on the inserted memory card and the CU305, SINAMICS S110
performs certain actions automatically when the system is switched on (see the
descriptions below). Please note the information in these descriptions, as operator errors
may lead to data loss or an incorrect drive response.
If you want to upgrade a number of differently parameterized devices, please use one card
to back up the parameters and another for the firmware update. We only recommend
saving firmware and parameters to the same memory card for the purpose of spare part
installation.
Basics:
The CU305, the SINAMICS S110 Control Unit, manages three memory areas:
1. A volatile memory, the RAM, also called working memory.
2. A non-volatile memory, the ROM, also called Flash memory.
3. An optionally available portable memory card. The CU305 only accepts memory cards
During operation, SINAMICS S110 uses the work memory. It is here that all project data and
application programs for operation are stored.
To save the current data from the work memory, you must copy it to non-volatile memory
before shutting down. More detailed information appears in "RAM to ROM" in the
commissioning section of this manual.
An optional memory card is used to save a variety of parameter data sets and transfer them
to other S110 systems in order to install firmware updates or carry out series commissioning.
A memory card is absolutely essential if you wish to use the Extended Functions supported
by Safety Integrated.
Parameter data sets
Parameter data sets combine all the parameters for a project, including the project itself.
Parameter data sets differ on the basis of drive configuration (power unit, motor, encoder,
etc. used) and application (e.g. function modules, type of control).
Up to two parameter data sets with the indices 0 and 10 can be saved in the ROM.
Up to 101 parameter data sets (indices 0, ..., 100) can be saved on the memory card.
Parameter data sets can be loaded or copied from the memory card to the ROM.
The parameter data set active in the RAM has the index 0.
