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 an SD card slot and push buttons (B2 and B3) which activate file transfers to and from an SD card.

Use the SD card to:

  • Backup and restore a controller 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 rated to a 85 °C maximum operating temperature.
    SD cards which do not meet this criteria should not be left in the device.

See SD Card Access for more information on mounting / checking / unmounting SD cards using function blocks.
