Press the ejector and remove the micro memory card. 3. Applying slight pressure, insert the ("new") micro memory card into the slot of the SIMOTION C until it snaps into place. Make sure the beveled edge of the micro memory card faces the ejector (see the following figure).
7.3 Initial Power ON Initial Power ON Requirements ● You have completed installation and the wiring of your system with SIMOTION C. ● The micro memory card is inserted. ● The mode selector must be set to STOP! Initial Power ON Switch on the power supply module.
You can write to the micro memory card as follows: ● Micro memory card is inserted in the SIMOTION C and is written with the "Copy RAM to ROM" menu command (there must be a connection between the programming device and SIMOTION C).

MMC that does not contain a configuration. A SIMOTION C can therefore always go online if a configuration has been loaded at least once with the SIMOTION SCOUT, or if the SIMOTION C has been ramped up once with an MMC.
Page 151
Volatile data (RAM) Definition of the properties of volatile data: ● The volatile data is located in the RAM memory of the SIMOTION C. ● The download data of SIMOTION SCOUT are written to this memory. ● This data is lost when the SIMOTION C is shut down.
The IP and DP parameters are also saved to the "non-volatile data". Depending on the setting in SIMOTION SCOUT, the retain variables are set to their initial values. The "volatile data" is lost if the SIMOTION C is switched off after a download without having performed a "Copy RAM to ROM".
Page 153
(absolute encoder adjustment) must be repeated. Power failure The "non-volatile data" is saved to the NVRAM of the SIMOTION C during a power failure. The "non-volatile data" is available again at the next ramp-up. Thus, the SIMOTION C is immediately ready for operation without data loss.
7.6.1 Overview of data deletion You can define the scope of data to be deleted from SIMOTION C memory described in the "user memory concept". This enables you to determine whether data in your system should be deleted completely or partially.
Page 155
"Copy RAM to ROM" menu command will be transferred to the "non-volatile data" area of the SIMOTION C during the next ramp-up. Thus, an existing configuration on the MMC is loaded to the SIMOTION device following the memory reset.
Page 156
3. Within 3 seconds, you must release the switch and return it to the MRES position. The memory reset will now be performed. All the LEDs will light up during this time. The SIMOTION C completed the memory reset when the STOP LED lights up. The SIMOTION C has reset the memory.
● Non-volatile data, except for the IP and DP parameters ● User data on the MMC (user directories) You can thus continue to go online to the SIMOTION C with your PG/PC. The licenses on the MMC are retained. Deleting user data 1.
2. The micro memory card is inserted in the SIMOTION C. 3. Switch the mode selector to the MRES position. Keep this position selected and switch the power supply for the SIMOTION C on. When the "STOPU" LED flickers, switch back to the STOP position again.

"STOPU", "STOP", "BUS1F", and "BUS2F" LEDs will flicker. This means that the update was not completed correctly.

The C240 / C240 PN can then be operated with the new SIMOTION Kernel. Note If the micro memory card does not contain a SIMOTION Kernel, all LEDs on the SIMOTION C240 / C240 PN apart from the RUN LED are illuminated. SIMOTION C Operating Instructions, 02/2012...
You can only replace SIMOTION C as a complete unit. WARNING The SIMOTION C can only be replaced when the load power supply is switched off. You must therefore switch off the power supply, e.g. by means of the on/off switch on the PS module.
Module replacement without programming device or PC Overview If a defective SIMOTION C has to be replaced without using a PG/PC, you can transfer the data of the defective module to the new module by simply inserting the micro memory card of the defective module in the new module.
