2.3 SD Card Slot
The SD Card Slot, located on the front of the PROFINET Scanner, can be used to transfer the Device Name
from a different PROFINET Scanner without the need for a configuration tool such as PME to commission
the new hardware. A card is not required to be present. Refer to Section 4.3.1, Transferring the Device
Name with an SD Card for more details.
Note that when installing an SD Card, the label should face to the left with the write-protect (Lock) switch
to the bottom. The card should enter easily and click when fully inserted. The spring action will return the
card back slightly from its fully depressed position. Do not force the card into the slot as that can damage
the unit. To release the card, press the card in again until it clicks, and the spring action will eject the card
out enough to easily grab hold of it.
SD and SDHC capacity cards are supported. An SD Card can be formatted as either FAT12 or FAT16 per
the SD Card standard and an SDHC card should be formatted using FAT32 per the SD Card standard.
