5.5.4 Start-up Behavior with or without SD Card
The start-up behavior of the ILX69-PBM depends on whether an SD memory card is
inserted in the module or not.
Start-up without Memory Card
On power-up, the ILX69-PBM and the firmware are started and the configuration data is
loaded from the CompactLogix processor using the Local:x:C.Data array into the ILX69-
PBM internal flash memory. Depending on the amount of stored configuration data, this can
last for approximately 4 seconds.
Start-up with Memory Card
The ILX69-PBM supports firmware upgrade utilizing an optional SD card. Contact ProSoft
technical support to obtain this firmware image. Firmware can also be loaded via the ILX69-
PBM webpage. Configuration of the module is always obtained from the Local:x:C.Data
array from the CompactLogix processor.
On power-up, the firmware data are restored from the SD memory card flash image into the
ILX69-PBM internal flash memory only when the ILX69-PBS is not connected over the
backplane to a CompactLogix processor. The following is the power-up sequence:
 After return of power, the SYS LED indicates a fast blinking in green for approximately
10 seconds. During this time the SD memory card can be removed from the module to
prevent the data transfer.
o After 10 seconds, the following files are transferred from the SD memory card into
the non-volatile flash memory of the ILX69-PBM:
• Firmware *.nxf
• Web pages
This operation takes (typically) up to 30 seconds. During this operation the SYS LED
is static yellow.
 When complete, the new firmware starts automatically and the ILX69-PBM boots with
the new configuration. The COM LED illuminates or blinks as described in section
Communication Status (page 107). Connection over the backplane to the CompactLogix
processor can then be restored.
