Downloading a project to the CompactFlash card

Requirement
Loading a project created offline to the CF card has the advantage of being faster than a
download.
It should be noted, however, that the first system power-up will take longer, as the SINAMICS
Integrated and CX32‑2 controller extension will perform one-off parameter calculations. These
are automatically backed up on the CF card.
Note
In order to save the project data via the PG/PC, you need a CF card adapter in which you can
insert the CF card. The CF card must be displayed as a removable storage device with any
drive letter in Windows Explorer.
If the CF card is not displayed, check the CF card adapter and contact the hotline if necessary.
Procedure
You can use a card adapter to write the entire project to the CF card, even in offline mode. In
SIMOTION SCOUT, you can call the "Load to file system" function in the context menu of the
SIMOTION device.
1. Save and compile the project.
2. Switch the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 off.
3. Remove the CF card and insert it into a card adapter. The card adapter must be connected
to a PG/PC.
4. In the SCOUT project, select the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 device that you want to download to
the CF card.
5. Click "Load to file system" in the context menu. A dialog box opens.
6. In the "Load to File System" dialog box, select the "Save normally" option and click the
"Select target" button.
7. Select the target drive.
8. Confirm your entries with "OK". The data is written to the CF card.
Note
With "Load to file system", the project data of the controller (including SINAMICS
Integrated / CX32-2) is written directly to the CF card. Separate execution of "Load to file
system" for SINAMICS Integrated / CX32-2 is not possible.
