SD Memory Card Maintenance with WindLDR
You can browse and manipulate files on the SD memory card inserted in the SmartAXIS using Data File Manager of WindLDR.
• Browse folders and files on the SD memory card.
• Upload files on the SD memory card.
• Delete folders and files on the SD memory card.
• Format the SD memory card.
To browse and manipulate the files on the SD memory card inserted in the SmartAXIS using the Data File Manager, connect the
computer and the SmartAXIS with either of these methods.
• Connect the USB port on the computer and the USB port on the SmartAXIS with a USB maintenance cable.
• Connect the Ethernet port on the computer and the Ethernet port on the SmartAXIS with an Ethernet cable.
Notes:
• The Data File Manager cannot be used when an SD memory card is not inserted into the SmartAXIS.
• The Data File Manager cannot be used while the SmartAXIS is running.
• The Data File Manager uses the maintenance communication protocol of SmartAXIS, so it can be used only when the maintenance
communication is possible. For example, the communication over Ethernet is not possible if the port number is different.
• The operating speed varies according the state of communications with the SmartAXIS and the capacity of the SD memory card.
• The Data File Manager cannot perform certain operations such as downloading files, creating folders, and changing file names.
• The basic restrictions of SD memory cards and the file system are the same as the restrictions for the DLOG and the TRACE instructions/FB.
