Appendix 7 SD Memory Card An SD memory card is installed in the CPU module to perform the following operation. • Operate using the project data in the SD memory card. • Storing data that is collected by the data logging function to the SD memory card. Part names This section describes the part names of the SD memory card.
Formatting To use any SD memory card in the CPU module, the card must be formatted. In the initial state after purchase, the SD memory card is not formatted. Insert the SD memory card to a CPU module and format the SD memory card using the engineering tool before use.
Appendix 8 Terminal Module Product configuration Terminal modules are used to convert connector-type I/O terminals into terminal blocks. By using terminal blocks (built-in element Option cable or type) dedicated to input or output, capturing of AC input signals user-created cable and format conversion into the relay/transistor/triac output can be performed.
