Memory Module Programming & Usage
The Memory Module (or Memory Card) option allows saving or restoring all parameters, configurations,
films, processes, and I/O programs in both memory locations A and B to the memory card. The real time
and date informations are the exceptions. The memory card function needs a memory interface board
installed in the unit. If there is a high density 15 pin D-sub on the back panel (labeled MEM), the memory
interface board is installed. The memory card has a write protect switch (green indicates memory card is
ready to accept new data as well as be read, red indicates that the write protect is on and that no new data
can be written to the memory card but it can be read).
In the menu path main / executive menu / options + info, page 6 of 6 will indicate whether the
memory module has been recognized. The memory module can be plugged into a powered STC-2000A.
The options/info screen interrogation is not dynamic (a snapshot of how things are when the snapshot is
taken) and the 6
th
screen must be displayed afresh to capture the new status of the memory module.
The memory module has 1 programmable parameter associated with its usage and that is the
Memory Module IFC parameter on the System Configuration menu. This must be set to ON. Please note
that save/restore functions to and from the memory module necessitate a unit reboot, which will be initiated
automatically when directed to save or restore on the service menu. This reboot save/restore process takes
about a minute to complete. If there is a problem, from whatever cause, an error message will be displayed
indicating that the save or restore had failed. This message can be cleared using the fixed front panel
MANUAL key.
