Chapter 4 Use the Secure Digital Card
Load from the SD Card
You can load a project to the controller from the SD card if the following
conditions exist:
• You have set the communication path.
• The controller is online.
• The controller is in Program mode,
You can load from an SD card to a controller in one of the following ways:
•
Controller Power-up
•
User-initiated Action
The actions that are described in this section apply whether the SD card is
unlocked or locked.
IMPORTANT With the SD card and brand new, out-of-box controllers:
• If you insert an SD card with an image into a brand new, out-of-box
controller (firmware 1.x), at power-up the controller automatically
updates the firmware up to the revision that is stored on the SD card. The
update happens regardless of the Load Image setting in the image on
the SD card (User Initiated, On Power Up, or On Uninitialized Memory).
• If the image was created with either On Power Up or On Uninitialized
Memory settings, then the controller both updates the firmware and
loads in the controller application.
TIP You can always use the Logix Designer application to load the
project.
