7.5.2 Writing to the the CompactFlash card
Overview
You can write to the CF card by:
● Writing to the CF card inserted into a SIMOTION D
This function requires the connection to be established between the PG/PC and the
module.
● Writing to the CF card without a SIMOTION D module
For this function, you need a CF card adapter.
Note
The CF card always comes formatted. It contains the SIMOTION Kernel (SIMOTION D
firmware).
To ensure that the CF card functions properly, the card must not be repartitioned.
