Flash Memory Transfers
Flash memory is used to store data in a non-volatile environment, that is it is not lost when power is
removed. The terminal contains flash memory in two forms. The first is built into the terminal. This form
of flash is used to store the terminal‟s firmware and parameters from the drive. This information can also
be stored on a removable flash memory card.
This second form of flash allows the data from one drive to be physically transferred to another drive for
loading. All files on the flash card use a DOS format thus can be read or written by any PC which contains
a PCMCIA drive. Flash memory cards which are supported are those that contain the following memory
chips from INTEL:
- 28F010
- 28F020
- 28F008SA
- 28F016SA.
These chips are used in the following memory cards available from Rockwell Automation:
2711-NM11
2711-NM12
2711-NM14.
This section describes how you will transfer information between these two forms of flash memory and the
drive. You will learn how to:

Format a flash card.

Look at the directory of files on a flash card containing the DOS file format.

Select a program (firmware) from the flash card and load it into the terminal.

Save the parameters from the drive on the flash card or in the terminal.

Download parameters to the drive from a flash card or that previously saved in the terminal.

Load a language module from the flash card.
You will access the Transfer operations from the Utility screen by pressing the [F7] key. This results in the
display of the screen shown in Figure 71.
