Chapter 4 Use the Secure Digital Card
• You can load the Logix Designer application project to the controller
from the SD card.
For more information on how to load the project from the SD card, see
Load from the SD Card on page 108.
Store to the SD Card
We recommend that you back up your Logix Designer application project to
an SD card regularly.
If a major non-recoverable fault occurs that removes the project from the
controller memory, the backup copy on the SD card can be automatically
restored to the controller. Thus, normal control operation is quickly resumed.
To store a project to the SD card, complete the following steps.
1. Make sure that the application is running as desired in the controller.
2. Make sure that the controller is online and in Program mode or Remote
Program mode.
3. Access the Controller Properties.
4. On the Nonvolatile Memory tab, click Load/Store.
TIP If Load/Store is dimmed (unavailable), verify the following:
• You have specified the correct communication path.
• The SD card is installed.
• The SD card is unlocked. The locked status appears in the bottom-left
corner of the Nonvolatile memory/Load Store dialog box.
If the SD card is not installed, a message in the lower-left corner of the
Nonvolatile Memory tab indicates the missing card as shown here.
