External Memory Devices
● External memory device writing timing
If the write timing setting for Alarm Log, Data Log, and Operation Log data is set to Real Time, the data is stored in
the file output buffer once.
The writing timing from the file output buffer to the external memory device
*1
is as follows.
• Within 3 minutes of an output event to the external memory device
*1
.
• The value of the HMI Special Relay LSM18
*2
or the HMI Special Relay LSM20
*3*4
changes to 1.
• When switching to the System Mode.
• When downloading/uploading project data.
●
SD memory card access status
Models HG5G/4G/3G/2G-V, HG4G/3G, HG2G-5F have an SD Memory Card Access Lamp (LED).
The SD Memory Card Access Lamp (LED) indicates the access status to the SD memory card. This status can also be
read by monitoring HMI Special Internal Relay LSM21.
The SD Memory Card Access Lamp states and status descriptions of the HMI Special Internal Relay LSM21 are as
follows.
SD Memory Card Access Lamp states
*1 USB flash drive inserted in USB1 for HG2J-7U, SD memory card for HG5G/4G/3G/2G-V, HG4G/3G and HG2G-5F,
USB flash drive for HG2G-5T and HG1G/1P
*2 HG2G-5T, HG1G/1P only
*3 HG2J-7U, HG5G/4G/3G/2G-V, HG4G/3G , HG2G-5F only
*4 USB flash drive inserted in USB1 for HG2J-7U, SD memory card for HG5G/4G/3G/2G-V, HG4G/3G and HG2G-5F
In the following events, MICRO/I writes the data in the file output buffer to the external memory device
once, and then moves on to the next process. This creates a processing delay which can cause WindO/I-
NV4 to raise a communication error when downloading or uploading a project. If a communication error
occurs, try downloading or uploading the project again.
• When data exists in the file output buffer
• When attempting to switch to the System Mode while reading/writing to the external memory device.
• When downloading or uploading project data.
