Product overview
CX50x0 19Version: 1.9
2.8 CF slot
A Compact Flash slot is located at the front, which enables the storage medium to be replaced. In the basic
module this should only be done in switched-off state, otherwise the system may crash. The Compact
Flash card can be removed from the module for maintenance. In this way it is also possible to expand the
system (only operating system and program memory). Compact Flash cards (CF cards) are available as
accessories in various sizes.
The following images illustrate the handling of the CF cards. Open the front cover. Then eject mechanism
and the CF card slot are then visible. The eject mechanism is based on the push-push principle: If the head
of the mechanical system is retracted, pushing it makes it move out of the housing. Pushing the head again
will lock it back in the housing. At the same time the card moves approx. 4 mm out of the housing, so that it
can be pulled out. If the card is pushed in (FIGURE 3), the eject mechanism will re-engage. The card is
positioned correctly, if it is located approx. 1 mm lower than the front of the housing.
When the card is pushed back the eject mechanism locks again. The card is positioned correctly, if it is
located approx. 1 mm lower than the front of the housing.
Type of CF slot
The Compact Flash slot is a memory interface, not an I/O type CF slot.
