CompactFlash card

Description
The computing capacity required and utilization of the CU320-2 Control Unit can be
calculated with the SIZER engineering tool. The firmware options are supplied in license
form, which are written to the CompactFlash card in the factory as license codes. The
firmware options can also be enabled on-site, for example, if the required expanded
performance is not known at the time of placing the order. You will need the serial number of
the CompactFlash card and the order number of the firmware option to be enabled. With this
information, you can purchase the associated license code from a license database and
enable the firmware option.
The license code is only valid for the CompactFlash card declared and cannot be transferred
to other CompactFlash cards.
NOTICE
Handling data on the CompactFlash Card
The data stored on the CompactFlash card must not be changed manually. Only the
STARTER program can modify the data.
If you do not do this, all the data on the CompactFlash card will be lost (parameters,
software license, etc.).
The CompactFlash card may only be inserted or removed after the Control Unit CU320-2
has been switched off.

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.
