SD Card Support

The AKD PDMM and PCMM controllers support using an SD card for backup and restore functionality. This lets you manage the configuration, application and operation data. The controller has a SD card slot and push buttons (B2 and B3) which activate file transfers to and from a SD card.

Using the SD card provides an easy way to

  • backup and restore a AKD PDMM or PCMM configuration
  • store and retrieve an application, including source code
  • store and retrieve user data from an application or PC

Supported SD Card Formats

Format File System Capacity
SD (SDSC) FAT16 or FAT32 2GB
SDHC FAT32 4-32GB

The default file system for the format.


  • We recommend using an SD card which is rated to a 85°C max. operating temperature. Cards which do not meet this criteria should not be left in the device.

See SD Card Access for information on mounting/checking/unmounting SD cards using FBs.
