SD Card Extension Cable

[Martin1]

Hello,

 

Is it possible to put an extention cable in the SD slot? I need to access the SD slot without opening the panel door.

 

Also, is it possible to download/View trended data/graph form the SD card using SD Card Explorer via Com Port?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Martin,

The connection you are defining, manufacturers may in fact make such a cable but it is not recommended for use as the ribbon is extremely susceptible to noise. You can obtain the files from the PLC wiht  SD Card Explorer Use a PC to access, read and write files on an SD Card that is installed in a Vision controller. You can then Import the files to SD Card Manager

Import SD files: Trends, Logs, Alarms, and Data Tables, view them, and export them to Excel or .csv files.

You can also try 3rd party Bluetooth serial adaptors.  So you can walk up to the panel with a laptop (or Windows tablet PC, running full version of Windows, not tablet version), link to the bluetooth, download the data via the SD card Explorer and SD Card Manager as above.
