Chapter 3 Start Using the Controller
Load or Store to the Memory
Card
The memory card that is compatible with your ControlLogix controller is used to
load or store the contents of user memory for the controller.
Store to the Memory Card
After you are online with the controller and have changed the controller to
Program or Remote Program mode, complete these steps to store a project to the
memory card.
1. Open the Controller Properties dialog box and click the
Nonvolatile Memory tab.
2. Click Load/Store.
3. Change the Load Image, Load Mode, and Automatic Firmware Update
properties according to your application requirements.
The table below describes the Load Image options you can choose for the
project.
If Load/Store is dimmed (unavailable), verify the following:
• You have specified the correct communication path and are online with the
controller.
• The memory card is installed.
• With the 1756-L7x controllers, if the SD card is locked, Store is dimmed
(unavailable) and the locked status is indicated in the bottom-left corner of
the Nonvolatile memory/Load Store dialog box. See step 4
.
If the memory card is not installed, the missing card is indicated by a message
in the lower-left corner of the Nonvolatile Memory tab as shown here.
If the SD card is locked and the stored project’s Load Image option is set to
On Power Up, the controller firmware is not updated as a result of conducting a
firmware upgrade. The previously-stored firmware and project are loaded
instead.
