120 Maintain Nonvolatile Memory
Choose a Controller That
Has Nonvolatile Memory
These ControlLogix controllers have nonvolatile memory.
ControlLogix Controllers and Nonvolatile Memory
Prevent a Major Fault During a Load
If the major and minor revisions of the project in nonvolatile memory
do not match the major and minor revisions of the controller, a major
fault may occur during a load.
Controller Cat. Number Firmware Revision Requires a 1784-CF64 Industrial
CompactFlash memory card

Controller Consequences
Does not use a
CompactFlash card
Make sure that the major and minor revisions of the project in nonvolatile memory match the
major and minor revisions of the controller.
The nonvolatile memory of the controller stores only the project. It does not store the
firmware for the controller.
Uses a CompactFlash
card
The CompactFlash card stores the firmware for projects ≥ 12.0. Depending on the current
revision of the controller, you may be able to use the CompactFlash card to update the
firmware of the controller and load the project.
