3.3.4 Memory card
The device has a card slot integrated in the housing. The card slot accommodates a
memory card in microSD format.
NOTE
The Lector621 ECO variant does not have a slot for a microSD memory card.
NOTE
The microSD memory card is optional and not included in the scope of delivery of the
device. The device supports memory cards up to max 32 GB.
Only use types (industrial standard) approved by SICK to ensure reliable function of the
memory card. You can find these as accessories online at:

The memory card has no write protection that can be activated.
Functions
An inserted memory card serves as a local external memory medium for the device out‐
side the internal device memory, see "Initial commissioning", page 54.
The device can execute the following functions using the memory card:
•
Cloning function: storage of the currently valid parameter set
Automated additional storage of the parameter set with the configuration data of
the device on an external storage medium that is quickly accessible to the user.
This takes place as part of the recommended backup concept for the parameter
sets of the 4Dpro devices. The externally stored parameter set is also updated
automatically each time the currently valid configuration data is permanently
saved. For devices without a card slot, the optional CMC600 cloning module,
installed in the CDB/CDM connection module, also offers the same external stor‐
age option in addition to other functions. The otherwise necessary connection of a
computer to the device in order to manually save the parameter set is not required
with this data backup method. The cloning function provides the means,
for example in the event of a device fault, for a convenient and rapid manual trans‐
fer of the currently valid parameter set to an exchange unit of the same type in the
read station.
Automated saving to the external storage medium is triggered by saving the para‐
meter set in the device with the Permanent option, e.g., via the SOPAS ET configura‐
tion software.
•
Firmware download (update)
For information on the prerequisites as well as the procedure for downloading and
updating the firmware, see the SICK Support Portal.
•
Other functions available on request.
When saving a parameter set for the first time, use an empty memory card.
b
Check and, if necessary, delete the contents of the current card on the computer.
Device access to the memory card
NOTE
The device does not directly signal access (read, write) to the memory card.
When saving the parameter set using the Permanent option, the Ready LED indicates
when the save process has completed:
•
When the device starts saving, the Ready LED goes out.
•
When the device has finished saving, the Ready LED lights up green again.
