SD Card
· Email attachments - Enhanced Vision controllers with SD cards enable you to email
an attached file located on the SD card.
· Cloning - Use ladder functions, Information mode, or VisiLogic Project files to
clone a complete PLC and application, Data Tables, or operand values from a PLC
or install such clone files to a PLC of the same model. Via SD Card Explorer,
you can also remotely transfer these files from a PLC's SD card to PC, and from
PC to PLC givng you remote 'no-hands' PLC cloning.
