Memory structure (continued)<br />

Extension of the data storage area<br />

Memory cards reserved for data storage (4096 or 8192 Kb) are used to:<br />

b Access the data storage area in cases where the application is fully loaded into the<br />

internal RAM. In this case, the data storage memory card is inserted into PCMCIA<br />

slot no. 0.<br />

b Free up memory to serve as additional program space when the application is on<br />

the PCMCIA card (slot no. 0). In this case, the data storage memory card is inserted<br />

into PCMCIA slot no. 1 (although the memory card in slot no. 0 can still be used for<br />

some of the data).<br />

Unity Pro programming software helps the application designer to manage the<br />

structure and organize how the memory space on the <strong>Premium</strong> PLC is occupied.<br />

Protecting the application<br />

Regardless of the PLC memory structure (whether the application is located in the<br />

internal RAM or on the PCMCIA card), it is possible to prevent the application from<br />

being accessed (for the purpose of reading or modifying the program) by only<br />

loading the executable code into the PLC.<br />

A memory protection bit, set in configuration mode, is also available to prevent any<br />

program modification (via the programming terminal or downloads).<br />

Program modification in online mode<br />

This function is different from previous versions of <strong>Premium</strong> PLCs (with PL7 software)<br />

in that it now allows program code and data from different parts of the application to<br />

be added or modified in a single modification session (thus making modification<br />

unified and consistent with regard to the controlled process).<br />

This increased flexibility comes at a cost in terms of the amount of program memory<br />

required. In order for the program to be modified in online mode, the amount of<br />

program memory space available must be at least equal to the combined size of all<br />

sections of the Unity Pro program affected by the single modification session<br />

concerned.<br />

Depending on circumstances:<br />

b In the case of a processor with a memory extension card, there will be sufficient<br />

memory left on the card for online modification, provided that the recommendations<br />

on page 1/22 are observed.<br />

b In the case of a processor without a memory extension card, if the user wants to<br />

be able to make modifications in online mode, he or she must select a processor on<br />

the basis of the following:<br />

v The anticipated size of the application<br />

v The number and size of the program sections to be modified in online mode<br />

Note: A memory extension card based exclusively on Flash EPROM technology (without<br />

additional SRAM) is clearly incapable of supporting online program modifications.<br />
