Cannot boot AC 800M (PM856) with flash card
I can load program with Control Builder from PC, but it will not boot with the same files on a flash card. Tried 2 spare PLCs with the same result.
Is there a particular way the files have to appear in the flash card?
There are 12 files/directories for this application.
Thanks,

Hello,
Did you format the Compact Flash card as FAT type?
After downloading the Application to Compact Flash card, do you get the below content in your flash card?
If yes, then turning the controller power OFF (no internal or external battery connected) and ON should load the application to the Controller.

Hi,
The CF have to be formatted with FAT32 and not extFAT or NTFS, proposed by Win7/10. NTFS or extFAT are not supported for loading of application to CF.
FAT32 supports sizes up to 4GB, so if your card is bigger (which is normal nowadays), it will be downsized to 4GB in order to use it with AC800M.
Then from CBM -> download to removable media. Finally, in CMB Online mode, click on CF and see if no error messages appear.
For Win7/10 you need to do that in cmd. Look in the Internet or follow the procedure below:

Open command prompt with administrator account. Type following
diskpart
list disk
select disk X (X is number of your CF)
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
format fs= fat32 quick
assign
