Chapter 12          Using microSD Cards
Power-up Settings in ConfigMeFirst.txt
On power-up, the controller reads and carries out configuration settings described in the 
ConfigMeFirst.txt file. However, the UPD setting also takes effect when the microSD card is 
inserted. The configuration settings for the ConfigMeFirst.txt file are shown in the following 
table.
 
ConfigMeFirst.txt Configuration Settings
Setting Takes Effect On... Description
Firmware update settings
[FWFILE] Power-up
File path location of the firmware revision on the microSD 
card. The default location is in the following format:
firmware\<catalog number>\<filename of firmware>
[FWDOWN] Power-up
Sets whether to upgrade or downgrade the controller 
firmware from the current revision.
0 = Upgrade firmware; 1 = Downgrade firmware
IMPORTANT: Firmware Upgrade will happen if [FWFILE] 
setting points to a newer revision of firmware file 
compared to current firmware in the controller, irrespective 
of [FWDOWN] setting.
Controller settings
[PM] Power-up Power up and switch to PROGRAM mode.
[CF] Power-up Power up and attempt to clear fault.
Project settings
[BKD = My Proj1] Power-up
Power up and save the controller project into backup 
directory, 
My Proj1\USERPRJ. Require extra power cycle to clear 
existing fault first using [CF] setting or other means.
[RSD = MyProj2] Power-up
Power up and read the project from restore directory 
MyProj2\USERPRJ into controller. Require extra power cycle 
to clear existing fault first using [CF] setting or other 
means. This setting overwrites UPD (or its default) load 
always or load on error restore function.
[UPD = My Proj]
Power-up and 
Insertion
For normal usage of backup and restore (that is, through 
Connected Components Workbench software, Load Always, 
or Load on Memory Error settings), set the user project 
directory name. For example, My Proj, during power-up or 
when the microSD card is inserted.
This directory is also used by data logging and recipe 
function.
Network settings
[ESFD] Power-up
Embedded Serial Factory Defaults.
Power up and revert embedded serial comms to factory 
defaults.
[IPA = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Power-up
Power up and set IP address to xxx 
(must be numbers only).
[SNM = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Power-up
Power up and set subnet mask to xxx 
(must be numbers only).
[GWA = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Power-up
Power up and set gateway address to xxx 
(must be numbers only).
General settings
[END] Power-up
End of setting.
This setting is always required even when the 
ConfigMeFirst.txt file does not contain any other setting. 
The SD LED goes off when this setting is not present.
IMPORTANT Flash Upgrade Settings
With Connected Components Workbench software version 12 or later, 
you can flash upgrade your Micro800 controller from the microSD card in 
addition to using ControlFLASH. See Flash Upgrade From MicroSD Card
 
on page 269 for instructions.
• [FWFILE] and [FWDOWN] settings must be placed at the beginning of the 
file.
