2: M ODULE S PECIFICATIONSFC5A MicroSmart User’s Manual FC9Y-B1268 2-91Memory CartridgeA user program can be stored on an optional memory cartridge installed on a MicroSmart CPU module from a computerrunning WindLDR, and the memory cartridge can be installed on another MicroSmart CPU module of the same type. Using amemory cartridge, the CPU module can exchange user programs without using a computer.User programs can be uploaded and downloaded between a memory cartridge and WindLDR, and downloaded from amemory cartridge to the CPU module. These features are available on all models of FC5A CPU modules.In addition, a use program can be uploaded from the CPU module to a memory cartridge. This feature is available on CPUmodules with system program version 200 or higher.Memory Cartridge Type NumberModule Name Type No.32KB Memory Cartridge FC4A-PM3264KB Memory Cartridge FC4A-PM64128KB Memory Cartridge FC4A-PM128User Program Execution PriorityDepending whether a memory cartridge is installed on the MicroSmart CPU module or not, a user program stored on thememory cartridge or on the CPU module EEPROM is executed, respectively.Memory Cartridge User Program Execution PriorityInstalled on the CPU ModuleWhen a memory cartridge is installed on the CPU module, the user program stored inthe memory cartridge is executed.The memory cartridge download function makes it possible to download the userprogram in the memory cartridge to the CPU module.The memory cartridge upload function makes it possible to upload the user programfrom the CPU module and store it in the memory cartridge.Not installed on the CPU Module The user program stored on the EEPROM in the CPU module is executed.Memory Cartridge SpecificationsType No. FC4A-PM32 FC4A-PM64 FC4A-PM128Memory Type EEPROMAccessible Memory Capacity 32 KB 64 KB 128 KBHardware for Storing Data CPU moduleSoftware for Storing Data WindLDRQuantity of Stored Programs One user program can be stored on one memory cartridge.Note: The optional clock cartridge (FC4A-PT1) and the memory cartridge cannot be used together on the all-in-one type CPU module.The clock cartridge and the memory cartridge can be used together on the slim type CPU module.User Program CompatibilityThe CPU module can execute only user programs created for the same CPU module type. When installing a memory car-tridge, make sure that the user program stored on the memory cartridge matches the CPU module type. If the user pro-gram is not for the same CPU module type, a user program syntax error occurs and the CPU module cannot run the userprogram.Caution • Compatibility of User Program with CPU ModulesWhen a memory cartridge contains a user program for higher functionality, do not install thememory cartridge into CPU modules with lower functionality, otherwise the user program is notexecuted correctly. Make sure that the user program in the memory cartridge is compatible withthe CPU module.Phone: 800.894.0412 - Fax: 888.723.4773 - Web: www.clrwtr.com - Email: info@clrwtr.com
