One of the most critical steps of PLC programming is creating back-ups. This step is present in one form or another within every facility or machine builder in this world. Some programmers will save a file on their laptop, some will save a copy on a shared drive, some will rely on a server that runs FactoryTalk Asset Centre and others will utilize the SD Card feature of the current PLCs. Although it's not the most reliable way to create a backup, it can be the most cost and time-effective way to store a back-up in a small facility or a way to migrate the same program onto multiple machines.
Whatever your strategy may be, it's important to know how to use this tool as every current CompactLogix PLC now comes with an SD card, so the back-up certainly can't hurt.
In this tutorial, we will be exploring how you can create a full PLC back-up of a 1769-L24ER-QB1B Programmable Logic Controller onto a 1GB SD Card 1784-SD1. Furthermore, we will briefly go over why you may want to stick with this method and why you should consider certain alternatives.
There are certain requirements to using an SD card with an Allen Bradley PLC. In short, PLCs that have an SD Card slot need to have a certain level of the firmware to accept the functionality. If the PLC has a slot, it has to be at least at 19.x or later; most recent PLCs are typically 28.x and higher.
For the most part, most of the 1769-L1x, 1769-L2x, 1769-L3x, 1769-L3xx, 1756-L7x and 1756-L8x have this functionality.
In terms of official Allen Bradley SD cards, you have two options: 1784-SD1 and 1784-SD2 with 1GB and 2GB of memory respectively. Off-brand SD cards have been confirmed to work, but aren't supported by the manufacturer. Use them at your own risk.
The PLC will have to be in "Program" mode for the user to be able to work with the SD card. The two options are to either set the switch to "program" mode on the hardware or to set the PLC to "remote program" mode while the switch is in the "remote" position on the PLC. For this tutorial, we have set the switch to the "REM" or "remote" position on the PLC as shown above.

Awesome explanation Champion😃
merci beaucoup
Got a question, without using a software or a computer, can I just insert an SD card program backup (power up mode) into a new PLC? And if so, I can just take this SD card out without a problem? And one more question, does the SD card program backup also hardware config including IP address and everything ? Thanks.
is it possible to maintain a copy of the current program that is in the PLC memory to the SD card automatically? maybe, like right after a power cycle. My client requires the sd card as a backup if the PLC loses its data
How to read and write SD card in Siemens S7 300
1769-L24ER-QBFC1B It will display " (Type 01) Powerup Fault
(Code 01) Power lost and restored in RUN mode." Who knows what is the reason and how to deal with it?
Does “User Initiated” mean the image is restored within 5000 using the Store/Restore window?
Yes. Or you can load the program via a sequence of holding down reset button and power cycling (depending on the exact model) you have.
What will happen if I remove the SD card and fixed back, is there anything will happen to PLC while it is online? Tanx
nothing will happened it will boot up from internal memory storage. But if you make a change in the code and power cycle it will load up code from SD ( by default config) and you will loose all changes. That's why you taking SD after you done with commissioning. At least if's one of the way to deal with headache
Hi dear
Can you help i need Active factory talk view site edition 7.0
I think it's to old, and you must simple buy it) and not on TH-cam.
We had a L30ER processor fail, and ordered a new one for replacement. The program was saved on the failed processor's SD card (program backup isnt stored anywhere else). Can I upload the program from the SD card on the new processor without flashing the matching firmware version the program was developed on? Or are there any additional steps I need to consider prior to the upload?
You would definitely need to flash the PLC to the same firmware level as the program you have loaded on the SD card. I believe that by default it won't load the program; you'll have to configure the PLC to take it on bootup.
@@SolisPLCone blown away for getting a response from a year old video, that's awesome! Now, when I go to flash the replacement processor to V24.0, can I leave the SD card (has the only backup program) in the processor or will it wipe the card?
@@jeromeschulte1297 I don't believe that it will wipe the card as the process of loading the software onto it is different. However, I haven't tried it myself; I typically flash new controllers with the SD card in place, but there's no program on the card. Personally. I would recommend creating a backup regardless of what you're going to do. Don't let the only place you have the program be on that SD card!
Honestly speaking, I haven't seen any advantages, to load programm from SD-card, you need PC with Studio5000 or RSLogix5000. For example, in Siemens you can store the programm to SD-card, insert in PLC and with switch go in RUN, and PLC download programm from SD automatically without any connection to software. I think, you understand what I mean.
I agree with you and did mention the same thing toward the end of the video. I'm not 100% sure why multiple people asked me to talk about this. That being said, I do see how if you have such a backup at a small facility, they can stick this into another PLC and just transfer it over? Somewhat better than keeping it on a technicians PC I guess...
