Multimediacard - Formatting And File Names - Siemens 353 User Manual

Maintenance
Case Connection:
1. Orient the connector on this end of the cable
as shown above to mate with the RJ-45
connector inside the case, on the connector
socket assembly.
2. Guide the cable into the case and insert the
cable-mounted connector into the
case-mounted connector.
It may be necessary to gently press on the
clear plastic connector with a long
straight-blade screwdriver to seat the
cable-mounted connector.
10.6 MULTIMEDIACARD – FORMATTING AND FILE NAMES
Formatting a MultiMediaCard (MMC)
Siemens supplied MultiMediaCards are formatted for use in a 353. A MultiMediaCard from another source can be
formatted in a Windows-based PC that has either a built-in MMC card slot or a user-supplied external MMC card
reader. Current Windows operating systems are capable of formatting a card. If the formatting program asks you to
select a FAT (File Allocation Table) file system, select FAT16 for cards from 48 MB to 2 GB. Smaller cards are
formatted to FAT12 by default. FAT 32 and cards larger than 2 GB were not supported at the time this manual was
produced.
Configuration File Names
A configuration created and saved at a 353 faceplate will be stored on the MultiMediaCard with the controller's 8-
character serial number, and a 3-character extension, as the file name. This file name can be edited; see the notes in
Figure 2-2.
A configuration designed in i|config can be saved to the PC and to the MultiMediaCard with a long file name or an
8.3 short file name, in accordance with the Windows file naming convention. If a long file name is typed and saved,
Windows will also save a short 8.3 file name. When the card is inserted in a 353 and the file name viewed on the
353 faceplate, the 8.3 file name (8 characters and a 3 character extension) will be shown. Typically a tilde (~) and
an incrementing number replace the characters following the initial 6 characters of the file name; the 3-character
extension is not affected. For example, if a configuration named Boiler01DraftFanSafety is created in i|config and
saved to an MMC, the short file name may be contracted to, for example, Boiler~1. If additional similarly named
Boiler configurations with long file names are saved to the same MMC, the contracted file names may make it
difficult to identify a specific configuration. The contracted file names may be Boiler~1Boiler~2, Boiler~3 and so
on. Before saving the configuration to the MMC, examine the file name and create a file name that places the
characters critical to configuration identification at the beginning of the file name.
