Article No.: 6AU1 700-0AA02-0AA0
The micro memory card for SIMOTION C230-2 can be used to save the SIMOTION Kernel in
order to run an update. See chapter SIMOTION kernel update (Page 151).
The SIMOTION Kernel should always be stored on the micro memory card.
As of SIMOTION V2.1, the SIMOTION Kernel is automatically copied to the micro memory
card during power-up if it does not already contain one.
The micro memory card is also needed to save the technology packages and user data
(programs, configuration data, parameterizations).
CAUTION
The micro memory card may only be inserted or removed when the control unit is
disconnected from the power supply.

The micro memory card is supplied in a bootable format with the latest SIMOTION Kernel. It
is not supplied with the SIMOTION C240 / C240 PN and must be ordered as a separate
component.
