Store and Load a Project By Using a
Memory Card
The memory card allows you to keep a copy of your project on the controller
without the need to maintain power to the controller. You can use a memory
card to store the contents of the user memory when you store the project.
Remember these guidelines with a memory card.
• Changes that you make after you store the project are not reflected in the contents
of the memory card.
• If you make changes to the project but do not store those changes, you overwrite
them when you load the project from a memory card. If this occurs, you have to
upload or download the project to go online.
• If you want to store changes, such as online edits, tag values, or a ControlNet
network schedule, store the project after you make the changes.
If a computer loses power and does not have enough energy capacity, it loses
the project in user memory. When this occurs, you can load the copy from the
memory card to the user memory of the controller:
• Whenever it powers up.
• Whenever there is no project in the controller, and it powers up.
• Anytime through the Logix Designer application.
A store or load operation from a memory card has these parameters.
How much time does a store or load operation take? Less than three minutes
What controller mode do I use to store or load a project? Program mode
Can I go online with the controller during a store or load? No
What is the state of the I/O during a store or load? I/O remains in its configured state for Program mode
These Logix 5000 controllers support a memory card for project storage.
