Important User Information

Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of

electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and

Maintenance of Solid State Controls (Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local

Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://www.ab.com/manuals/gi)

describes some important differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired

electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide

variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this

equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is

acceptable.

CompactFlash Card Enhancements Overview

Introduction

This chapter reviews the enhancements for the CompactFlash file system.

CompactFlash Card

Enhancements

The CompactFlash file system has gone through several enhancements.

•Version 11: The CompactFlash card could only be used for saving

project image files with the NVS feature.

•Version 12: The CompactFlash card stored firmware as well as project

image files.

•Version 16: The CompactFlash card functionality has been extended to

include a file system that can be used for storing tag values, recipes, log

data, and other user data.

The CompactFlash file system as described in this document is available on the

following Logix5000 controllers, with version 16.x or later.

This document explains each feature and provides you with examples that

illustrate how to use those features. After you read and understand this

document and the examples, you will be able to add the CompactFlash file

system functionality to any of your programs.

Sample File Compatibility

This document is compatible with the sample projects, version 3.2, dated

January 2007.

CompactFlash File System

Features

The file system has the ability to perform a variety of operations to read or

write data to the CompactFlash card. The following are the basic operations:

•Create a file

•Write to a file

•Read from a file

•Delete a file

There is an additional command, verification if a CompactFlash card is

present, but as a user you will not access this, this runs as a background check.

For each of the basic operations of the file system, there are related

functionality.

•Open a file

•Close a file

•Set the file pointer

•Calculate file checksums

•Verify file checksums

•Data parsing

•Error handling

The application code is set up to handle a file up to 4500 bytes in size.

For more information on how to increase file size, refer to Appendix D,

Expand the Code to Support More than 4500 Bytes of Data.

Publication LOGIX-AP007B-EN-P - January 2007

CompactFlash Card Enhancements Overview 9

Possible Applications of

the CompactFlash File

System

Using RSLogix 5000 software, version 16 or later, and using the application

provided in this publication, you can read and write data to the CompactFlash

card. This could include tag values, recipes, or data log information, just to

name a few.

A possible application would be to store a collection of recipes on the

CompactFlash card. Whenever a recipe needs data, it can be read from a file

on the CompactFlash card. Then if changes were made to the recipe the data

could then be written back to the CompactFlash card for later use.

CompactFlash cards can also be read and written to with a personal computer,

using a CompactFlash card reader. However, using the methods described in

this document, tag values will be written out as binary data to the

CompactFlash card.

Attempting to open the file in a text editor will work, but the contents

displayed will be the ASCII equivalent of the binary data. The application will

not allow for files to be created on a personal computer and then read into the

controller, because checksums are embedded into the data. If you create a file

on the personal computer, it will not have the checksums embedded. When

the data is read it will fail the checksum test.

There are numerous possibilities with this feature, but there are some clear

restrictions that are explained in Chapter 2, CompactFlash File System

Restrictions.
