24 MEMORY CARD FUNCTION
24.2 Boot Operation
Maximum number of boot files that can be specified
It is the same as the number of files that can be stored in transfer destination memory.
Operation when security functions are enabled
This section describes the operation when security functions are enabled.
■When a security key is set
When a security key is set to the boot target program file and the security of the program file does not match with that of the
CPU module, a boot error occurs. Also, when no security key is written to the CPU module, a boot error occurs as well.
■When a file password is set
If a file password is set on both the source boot file and destination file, the file can be transferred only when the passwords
match. Furthermore, the file transfer does not work if a file password is set only on either one.
Precautions
The precautions on the boot operation are explained below.
• The parameter file existing on the module of the transfer destination is overwritten, when a parameter file is set to the boot
file. Further, if a parameter file is stored in the SD memory card, but not set to the boot file, the operation will follow the
parameter file on the module.
• Note that the model of the program written on the SD memory card (program specified in the boot file settings) and the
model of the CPU module must be the same.
