Blitz Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 One very important benefit of having an SD card on OPLC controllers is the ability to backup and/or clone OPLC programs and OS. If needed, a technician without a programming background can replace a faulted unit and download the backups from the SD card using only the controller faceplate--no PC required. For EX-RC1 modules, it would be great if it will also have SD card for backup purposes. Since there is no HMI, program uploading/downloading between EX-RC1 and SD card may be controlled by a DIP switch or part of a startup routine of the EX-RC1. An alternative is to be able to backup and/or download programs and OS to/from an OPLC's SD card to a linked EX-RC1 module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emil Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi Blitz, Thank you for the idea. You're right, indeed. But making this will need fully redesign of EX-RC1. Currently, thhis is not in our plance for 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
