Using microSD Cards
This chapter provides a description of microSD card support on Micro830, Micro850, and
Micro870 controllers.
The last section provides quickstart projects for the data log and recipe functions.
Overview With firmware revision 12.011 or later, Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers support
microSD cards through the use of the microSD card plug-in (a PartnerNetworkâ„¢ Technology
partner product) for Micro800 controllers for the following purposes:
• Project backup and restore
• Data log and Recipe
We recommend using the Allen-Bradley 2080-SD-2GB microSD card.

IMPORTANT For Micro850 (2080-L50E) and Micro870 (2080-L70E) controllers, do not
use any microSD card with less than 2 GB of memory.
IMPORTANT For optimum performance, the microSD card should not be more than
90% full. Regularly check available space on your microSD card and
ensure that the card is exclusively used for the Micro800 controller and
no unnecessary files are present. Regularly delete old data log files and
directories.
IMPORTANT Do not remove the microSD card or power down while operations such as
upload, download, delete, search, backup, and restore are ongoing to
prevent data loss. A blinking SD status LED indicates that these
operations are ongoing.
Note the following:
• The SD status LED will not blink when flash upgrading the firmware from
the microSD card.
• The SD status LED does not blink continuously for the entire duration of
the restore operation.
