Controller Power-up
This table describes what happens at power-up when an SD card that is
installed in the controller contains an image.
This table provides more information about each Load Image setting.
The COS starts at controller power-up unless the controller uses firmware
revision 1.xxx. That is, if the controller is in the out-of-box state.
You must update the controller firmware revision to a working revision level,
that is, firmware revision 32.011 or later, before the COS can start.
For more information on the COS, see Chapter 10,
Commercial Operating
System on page 211.

Setting Notes
On Power Up • During a power cycle, you lose any online changes, tag values, and network schedule that you have not stored in the nonvolatile memory.
• The controller loads the stored project and firmware at every power-up regardless of the firmware or application project on the controller.
• You can still use the Logix Designer application to load the project when the controller is operating and power is not cycled.
On Uninitialized
Memory
• In addition to loading the project that is on the SD card to the controller, the controller firmware is updated, if necessary.
• You can still use the Logix Designer application to load the project when the controller is operating and power is not cycled.
User Initiated This option is only available if the following match between the project that is stored on the SD card and controller:
• Controller type
• Controller major and minor revision
