> 2GB CompactFlash card on CJ1 or CS1

3 posts in this topic

Nowadays CF cards have higher capacity than supported by PLC, also PLCs use FAT16 file system, and don't support FAT32 or NTFS yet. This is a tutorial on how to get CF card working in CJ1 or CS1. I bought 4GB CF card Apacer (photo series). 1) Use a program to erase partition on CF card. I used ActivePartitionManager "from http://www.lsoft.net" (free). 2) Create new - smaller partition (I created 2GB partition). I left other space unpartitioned. 3) Format newly created partition in FAT16 file system. 4) Test / use it in PLC. I haven't done serious testing on CF card in PLC, but writing CSV file every minute is working well for now (writing is done with the PLC program). Best Regards, JinX Edited by pro17

Very good info man. Didn't come to my mind to create a smaller partition. so we put our efforts in obtaining a smaller CF. this is good.

An update: it works well for a month now (test writes every minute), so I believe this sollution is OK. Best regards, JinX
