Use a Secure Digital Card
This chapter describes the primary tasks that are required to store a project on an
SD card or load a project from an SD card to the CompactLogix™ 5370

following SD cards:
• 1784-SD1 - Ships with CompactLogix 5370 controller and offers 1 GB of
memory. You can order more 1784-SD1 cards if desired.
• 1784-SD2 cards - Available for separate purchase and offer 2 GB of
memory.

The life expectancy of nonvolatile media is dependent on the number of write
cycles that are performed. Nonvolatile media use a wear leveling technique, or
technology for prolonging the service life, but avoid frequent writes.
Avoid frequent writes when logging data. We recommend that you log data to
a buffer in the memory of your controller and limit the number of times data is
written to removable media.
