Uploading a Project from the CPU to the RDSD

Flash devices write in whole memory blocks and memory block sizes vary among devices.
The amount of space used by a project may vary between RDSDs due to the differences in
minimum block sizes and therefore the number of blocks used by a project. The
minimum amount of memory required will be the size of the entire project plus an
additional block for the options.txt file, if used.
1. Place the CPU that contains the project to be transferred in RUN Mode or STOP Mode.
2. If PME is online with the RX3i, either go Offline or select Monitor mode.
3. Insert the RDSD into the USB connector on the CPU. (After 1 – 2 seconds, the RDSD
4. For CPE302/CPE305/CPE310, push the RDSD direction switch to the left (UPLOAD),
5. Do not remove the RDSD from the CPU during the transfer.
CAUTION
If the RDSD is removed during data transfer from the CPU, the integrity of the RDSD and
the files on it cannot be guaranteed. The RDSD status LED may indicate an RDSD fault,
and the CPU will abort the data transfer and remain in its current operating mode.
The project files, consisting of the entire contents of the PACS_Folder directory and all of
its subdirectories, loaded on the RDSD must not be modified. If they are modified, the
files transferred to the CPU will be invalid.

then momentarily depress the START pushbutton. For CPE330, depress the RDSD
UPLD pushbutton.
The RDSD LED blinks green during the transfer. This can take from 10 – 150

seconds, depending upon the size of the project data.
The RDSD LED should turn solid green, indicating that the transfer completed

successfully.
If the RDSD LED turns solid red, the transfer has failed. There will be a copy of the

fault tables as they existed at the end of the attempted transfer on the RDSD.
Insert the RDSD into a PC which has the PACS Analyzer software and select the
plcfaultafter.dat file on the RDSD for fault table analysis by the Analyzer. The
PACS Analyzer software can be downloaded from the support website.

completed, remove the RDSD from the CPU. The RDSD can now be used to transfer
the application to other RX3i controllers of the same model type.
You can copy the entire applications directory to another USB device and use that
device as the source for downloads to CPE302/CPE305/CPE310/CPE330 CPUs,
provided none of the files in that directory are changed in any way during the
transfer.
